    OpenAI breaks ground on a massive 1GW AI campus in Michigan

    OpenAI just broke ground on "The Barn," a 1GW Stargate data center campus in Saline, Michigan, alongside Governor Gretchen Whitmer and partners like Oracle. The project features a closed-loop water cooling design, pledges zero extra utility costs for local residents, and unlocks $45M in Codex credits for over 400,000 local students. Why it matters: Frontier AI has fully evolved into a high-stakes physical infrastructure game, and OpenAI is staking its compute future on heavy-industry partnerships.
