回应特朗普“自费”要求？OpenAI承诺：为5000亿美元AI基建的电力升级买单

Core Viewpoint - OpenAI has committed to self-funding the energy infrastructure costs for its Stargate community plans, ensuring that its operations will not increase local electricity prices. This commitment comes in response to recent calls from President Trump for tech companies to bear the costs of new power plants [2][3][6]. Group 1: OpenAI's Commitment - OpenAI will collaborate with local communities to customize solutions based on specific needs, which may include paying additional infrastructure costs or ensuring energy supply independently [5][9]. - The Stargate project is a multi-year AI infrastructure initiative valued at $500 billion, being developed in partnership with SoftBank and Oracle [5][11]. Group 2: Industry Context - The commitment from OpenAI follows a similar initiative announced by Microsoft, highlighting the growing concern over rising energy prices and their impact on local communities [6][14]. - Energy access is becoming a critical bottleneck for AI growth, prompting several tech companies to invest directly in power infrastructure to support larger-scale data center development [7][13].
