OpenAI Stargate data center encounters energy bottleneck: difficulty in integrating natural gas power supply drives up costs Odaily Star Daily News: OpenAI Stargate data center developer is facing an energy challenge with rising costs. According to two informed sources, as well as engineers and power grid experts who were briefed, the process is more difficult and costly than expected. Crusoe is also a data center development partner for Oracle, and the energy issues of this project are putting significant pressure on operating costs. Currently, on a dry grassland in Abilene, Texas, Crusoe's hardware engineers are working overtime to try to coordinate the operation of natural gas turbines with one of the world's most expensive AI supercomputers (part of the OpenAI Stargate project). （The Information）
