During his Middle East tour last week, President Donald Trump and the U.S. Commerce Department announced a slew of new AI deals, including the UAE Stargate project slated for Abu Dhabi.
The project, in collaboration with Emirati firm G42, will span 10 square miles and include a 5-gigawatt capacity.
As part of the deal, OpenAI and Oracle are slated to manage a 1-gigawatt compute cluster built by G42. The project will include chips from Nvidia, while Cisco Systems will provide connectivity infrastructure.
The companies said an initial 200-megawatt AI cluster should launch next year.
