OpenAI is seeking to build a massive new data center in India that could mark a major step forward in Asia for its Stargate-branded artificial intelligence infrastructure push. The ChatGPT-maker is currently scouting local partners to set up a data center with at least 1-gigawatt capacity in the world’s most populous country, according to people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be named as the information is private. The site could be among the largest in India, where tech giants including Microsoft Corp. and Alphabet Inc.’s Google — plus Asia’s richest man — have also invested in such facilities. The exact location and timeline of OpenAI’s potential project remain unclear. Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman could announce the facility when he visits the South Asian country this month, said the people, though those plans remain in flux. OpenAI representatives declined to comment.
