San Francisco (Reuters) -Chatgpt Maker Openai said Thursday that he is comparing the states as possible intermediate rentals of synthetic intelligence knowledge for his large Stargate company, framing the task as a matter of urgency for the United statistics to overcome China in the overall breed of the Global Ai race.

“While the news arose in Deepseek, it is transparent that this is a very genuine festival and that problems may not be more important,” said Chris Lehane, director of Openai Global Affairs. “The one that ends up being a component in this festival will shape the global in the future, that we have a democratic or open or authoritarian AI that is autocratic. “

Last month, U.S. President Donald Trump announced Stargate, a private sector investment of up to $500 billion for AI infrastructure, funded by SoftBank, OpenAI and Oracle. These companies, along with other equity backers of Stargate, have committed $100 billion for immediate deployment, with the remaining investment expected to occur over the next four years.

Around 16 states have indicated interest in building data centers for Stargate, with Texas as the “flagship” data center site, Lehane said.

The initial data center for the project is already under construction in Abilene, Texas, and is being developed by San Francisco-based startup Crusoe. OpenAI expects to begin using parts of the Abilene data center later this year and may announce more sites in the next few months, said Keith Heyde, an OpenAI employee who is leading site selection for Stargate.”Somewhere between five to 10 is what we’re looking at as a campus footprint,” he said.

But less than a week after Trump’s Stargate announcement, a low-cost Chinese AI model called DeepSeek emerged, raising questions about the long-held belief that advancing AI requires massive, specialized data centers like those being built by Stargate.

DeepSeek’s researchers claimed one of its models was trained on less sophisticated chips at a fraction of the cost of American AI models, potentially disrupting the assumption that progress in AI necessitates vast computing resources.

In response, global investors dumped tech stocks, particularly Nvidia, the leading maker of AI computer chips, evaporating $593 billion of Nvidia’s market value, a record one-day loss for any company on Wall Street.
