About Stargate Abilene

Stargate Abilene is the first operating campus in OpenAI’s U.S. Stargate infrastructure program. Developed and operated by Crusoe at Lancium’s Abilene Clean Campus, the project runs on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and supports OpenAI training and inference workloads. Its first two buildings were energized in 2025; six more are under construction, bringing the planned campus to approximately 4 million square feet and 1.2 GW.
