DATA AND AI INFRASTRUCTURE
OpenAI is bolstering its U.S. hardware supply chain by seeking proposals from American manufacturers for essential components as part of a broader strategy to invest trillions in data centers. The company has partnered with Foxconn for U.S.-based hardware production and is advancing its 'Stargate' project, which aims to allocate $500 billion for AI infrastructure.
