Dubai: The move is part of a sweeping new partnership with OpenAI under the ambitious “Stargate UAE” initiative to build the largest AI supercomputing cluster on the planet. Central to the deal is Stargate UAE, an AI supercomputing hub backed by industry giants including Oracle, Nvidia, SoftBank, Cisco, and G42. G42 will also match OpenAI’s investments dollar-for-dollar in future U.S.-based data centers, reflecting a transcontinental AI alliance worth tens of billions of dollars.
