OpenAI and Oracle may abandon plans to expand their large AI data center in Texas.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that OpenAI and Oracle have decided to abandon plans to expand a large artificial intelligence data center in Texas. Negotiations between the two companies regarding the project had stalled for a long time due to financing issues and continuously changing needs of OpenAI. Sources familiar with the matter said that the breakdown of negotiations created an opportunity for Meta to get involved. Meta is currently considering leasing the data center site in Abilene, Texas, originally intended for expansion, from developer Crusoe. It is understood that Nvidia played a role in facilitating Meta's contact with the developer. (Reuters)
