OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, is establishing a major data center hub in Abilene, Texas, as part of a nationwide initiative to bolster its AI infrastructure. This move comes amidst a global race for AI dominance, with the US and China vying for leadership. The Texas site is seen as crucial due to the state's pro-business environment and commitment to innovation. The project is expected to generate significant economic benefits for the region. OpenAI's expansion also reflects growing tensions with Elon Musk, who has publicly criticized the organization's direction and involvement in government projects.

Hong Kong’s government is testing out the city's own ChatGPT-style tool for its employees, with plans to eventually make it available to the public, its innovation minister said Saturday, July 13, 2024, on a radio show, after OpenAI took extra steps to block access from the city and other regions it does not support.
OpenAI’s ambitious data center buildout will also shape the emerging AI competition between the U.S. and China ― which shook global markets last week with the launch of DeepSeek, a cheaper ChatGPT competitor.
