Microsoft Acquires Data Center Capacity from OpenAI in Norway
Microsoft has agreed to rent data center capacity in Norway from Nscale, originally intended for OpenAI's Stargate initiative. The deal includes 30,000 additional Nvidia Vera Rubin chips and builds on Microsoft's prior $6.2 billion commitment at the same site. OpenAI has paused its Stargate project in the UK and failed to secure a deal in Norway, signaling a shift in its infrastructure strategy.
