OpenAI and Oracle have reached a $30 billion data center cooperation agreement, involving 4.5 gigawatts of power capacity (equivalent to the output of two Hoover Dams). This deal is part of their Star Gate project, with construction taking place in Abilene, Texas. Oracle has spent nearly $5 billion on data centers in the past two years, supporting not only OpenAI but also existing customers. Notably, OpenAI's annual revenue of $10 billion is only one-third of this contract's value. This collaboration has driven Oracle's stock to a new high, and its founder Ellison briefly became the world's richest person.

In the field of artificial intelligence, OpenAI and Oracle recently announced a major collaboration, committing to invest in the 'Stargate' initiative, aiming to establish more data centers in the United States. This partnership is intended to meet the growing demand for computing power and to accelerate the development of AI technology. According to insiders, OpenAI will rent a large amount of computing power from Oracle's data centers, with an estimated use of about 4.5 gigawatts of electricity. The energy consumption of this data center is so large that it could power millions of American households.

Google's latest sustainability report reveals a startling fact: within just four years, the company's data center power consumption more than doubled, rising from 14.4 million megawatt-hours in 2020 to 30.8 million megawatt-hours in 2024. If the timeline is extended to ten years, compared to an estimated 4 million megawatt-hours in 2014, Google's data center power consumption has increased sevenfold. Growing electricity demand: data centers are major energy consumers, efficiency improvements face bottlenecks. Data shows that Google's power issues are almost entirely concentrated in data centers.

Google's DeepMind announced a major breakthrough in hurricane forecasting on Thursday, launching an innovative artificial intelligence system capable of unprecedented precision in predicting the path and intensity of tropical cyclones. This achievement solves long-standing challenges faced by traditional meteorological models for decades. At the same time, DeepMind also launched "Weather Lab", an interactive platform to showcase its experimental cyclone prediction model. The model can generate up to 50 possible storm scenarios 15 days in advance. More notably, De

Microsoft has announced an investment of $400 million to enhance its cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure in Switzerland. This investment was disclosed during a meeting between Swiss Economics Minister Guy Parmelin and Microsoft Vice Chairman Brad Smith, marking Microsoft's ongoing expansion in the fields of AI and cloud services. Microsoft currently has a business team of around 1,000 employees in Switzerland, and the new funds will mainly be used for expanding and upgrading data centers near Geneva and Zurich. This initiative aims to meet the growing demand for cloud computing and AI services in the Swiss market.

According to a new analysis, the power consumption of artificial intelligence is expected to reach nearly half of the total electricity consumption of global data centers by the end of 2025, meaning AI energy consumption will soon surpass bitcoin mining. The analysis was conducted by Alex de Vries-Gao, a Ph.D. student at the Environmental Institute of Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. He has previously tracked the power consumption and environmental impact of cryptocurrencies and published related data on his website Digiconomist. Currently, AI has already accounted for a significant portion of data center energy usage.
