The first phase of a new massive artificial intelligence data center with the United Arab Emirates will be published online in 2026, probably with 100,000 Nvidia chips.
The “Stargate UAE” project is part of a negotiated agreement last week by US President Donald Trump to build the largest set of AI data centers in the world outside the United States, despite the United States before the sending of advanced water technologies due to its close ties to China.
The 10 square miles site – 26 square km – in Abu Dhabi will eventually accommodate 5 gigawatts of data centers.
The first phase of this project will be the water project in One-Gigawatt Stargate, built by the Société des Eau supported by the G42 State in partnership with American companies Openai, Oracle, Nvidia and Cisco Systems, as well as by the Japanese Bank Group.
Societies said on Thursday that the Stargate water project will use Grace Blackwell GB 300 systems from NVIDIA, currently the most advanced IA server that Nvidia offers.
The first 200 capacity megawatts will be disseminated in 2026, companies said. The group has not given a certain number of servers, but the analyst company Trend Force estimates that the GB300 servers with 72 chips each consume approximately 140 kilowatts of power, which is equivalent to around 1,400 servers or 100,000 Nvidia chips.
This first platform in the world will allow each government agency of water and the commercial institution to connect their data to the most advanced AI models in the world, “said Larry Ellison, director and president of Oracle technology, in a press release.
The Trump Administration earlier this month canceled a rule set up by President Joe Biden who would have limited the flow of ia fleas to countries such as water.
The US trade department – which oversees export controls – did not say what would replace the rule, but said last week that it would convene a working group between the United States and water to ensure that the project responds “to robust American safety standards and other efforts to responsible the infrastructure of AI, both to water and water”. “
