Project Stargate hits Europe - OpenAI launches giant data center powered by 100,000 Nvidia GPUs, but probably not in the country you'd expect

Bloomberg.

• OpenAI chose Narvik for its low-cost hydropower, skipping traditional European data hubs entirely
• Stargate Norway project will use 100,000 Nvidia GPUs in a massive, renewable-powered setup
• $1 billion data center promises 520MW capacity and state-of-the-art direct-to-chip cooling systems

OpenAI’s European ambitions have taken a surprising turn with the launch of its Project Stargate in Northern Norway.
