OpenAI is launching its first Stargate data centre project in Europe, partnering with developer Nscale Global Holdings and investment group Aker ASA to open a $1-billion facility in Norway next year,

The data center will hold 100,100 NVIDIA GPUs and use entirely renewable energy, if all goes according to plan.

OpenAI has agreed to be an anchor customer for a new data center in Norway, the first European site for the artificial intelligence company’s Stargate infrastructure effort.
