Gate News message, April 9, OpenAI has paused its Stargate infrastructure project being carried out in the UK, mainly due to soaring energy costs and uncertainty in the regulatory environment. The project was originally announced in September this year, with plans to work with Nscale and Nvidia to deploy up to 8,000 GPUs. The project is currently on hold, and an OpenAI spokesperson said the company is still assessing the conditions for moving forward, and will proceed only when the regulatory environment and energy costs become more suitable for long-term infrastructure investment. Last month, OpenAI announced major adjustments to its Stargate computing infrastructure project, abandoning plans to build its own data centers and instead using third-party cloud services such as AWS and Google Cloud for computing power, and expects its total computing power spending through 2030 to be reduced from the previous $1.4 trillion to about $600 billion.
