Stargate Abilene (Crusoe/OpenAI/Oracle)
Abilene, Texas, US · under construction · operated for Crusoe, Oracle, OpenAI
The flagship campus of the OpenAI–Oracle–SoftBank Stargate venture, built and operated by Crusoe on roughly a thousand acres outside Abilene. Oracle owns the hardware and OpenAI consumes the compute; the first buildings were energized about a year after ground-break.
Compute Atlas, the sister dataset on supercomputer and AI-cluster supply chains, has the component-by-component record for this campus: Stargate Abilene (system) · Lancium Clean Campus, Abilene (site).
What's documented
- Construction began in Q2 2024; the first two of a planned eight buildings were energized within about a year (announced September 30, 2025), with early training and inference workloads already running. [source]
- Building design is optimized for both liquid and air cooling. [source]
- Independent analysis puts four of eight buildings operational, each housing roughly 50,000 Blackwell-class GPUs, with capacity around 0.3 GW rising toward a projected 1.2 GW at completion. [source]
- OpenAI originally planned to expand the site to 2.1 GW but redirected the additional capacity elsewhere; Microsoft separately partnered with Crusoe on an adjacent ~900 MW facility. [source]

The generic bill of materials
Whatever the vendor list, a facility like this contains the same part categories:rack-scale systems, direct-to-chip cold plates, coolant distribution units, large power transformers (345–765 kV) & substations, UPS (static, modular, rotary/DRUPS) & UPS power semis, backup generation: gensets, fuel systems, HVO, chillers & compressors — the full set is in the scales matrix.
