Introducing Stargate UK
我们宣布推出Stargate UK——这是与NVIDIA和Nscale合作的人工智能基础设施项目，旨在增强英国的主权计算能力。Stargate UK确保OpenAI世界领先的AI模型能够在英国本地计算资源上运行，专为英国服务，特别适用于司法管辖权至关重要的专业应用场景。这将助力推动英国未来经济发展，提升其全球竞争力，并落实国家人工智能机遇行动计划。
该项目标志着美英科技合作关系的重要进展，也是OpenAI“为各国服务”计划的最新部署，支持希望构建主权AI能力的政府。此前，我们于2025年7月与英国政府签署了谅解备忘录（MoU），共同探讨英国基础设施优先事项，加速AI的应用推广。
Nscale计划大幅扩展其在英国的Stargate UK容量，项目预计将在多个地点展开，包括位于东北部新指定的AI增长区的Cobalt Park。
OpenAI计划在2026年第一季度采购多达8,000块GPU，未来有望扩展至31,000块GPU。这一主权计算能力将使OpenAI的模型能够在本地计算资源上运行，满足关键公共服务、受监管行业（如金融）、科研项目或国家安全合作等专业应用需求。
NVIDIA将提供其最先进的GPU，确保Stargate UK能够使用最新一代的AI硬件。英国领先芯片设计公司Arm设计的半导体芯片是NVIDIA最新Grace Blackwell系列芯片的一部分，体现了英美企业间的进一步合作。
OpenAI首席执行官Sam Altman表示：“英国一直是AI领域的先驱，拥有世界级的研究人员、数百万ChatGPT用户，以及迅速认识到这项技术潜力的政府。Stargate UK将在此基础上加速科学突破、提升生产力并推动经济增长。此次合作体现了我们的共同愿景：有了合适的基础设施，AI能够为英国各地的人们和企业带来更多机遇。”
世界级硬件是基础，而推广应用是另一半，因此OpenAI致力于帮助英国为AI时代培养人才。作为其中一部分，我们将把OpenAI学院——一个帮助各类人群了解AI、掌握工具和最佳实践的AI素养中心——引入英国，支持政府到2030年提升750万工人技能的目标。
我们将与当地企业领导者合作，设计灵活且可定制的学习体验，扩大AI教育的覆盖面，支持就业创造和经济增长，同时确保各地区不会因AI应用差距而落后。我们将在适当时候与英国政府分享更多相关工作进展。

We’re announcing Stargate UK—an AI infrastructure partnership with NVIDIA and Nscale that strengthens the UK’s sovereign compute capabilities. Stargate UK ensures OpenAI’s world-leading AI models can run on local computing power in the UK, for the UK—particularly for specialist use cases where jurisdiction matters. This will help power the UK’s future economy, boost its global competitiveness and deliver on the country’s national AI Opportunities Action Plan.
The initiative marks a major step forward in the US-UK technology partnership and is the latest rollout of OpenAI for Countries to support governments that want to build out their sovereign AI capabilities. It follows the MoU we signed with the UK Government in July 2025 to explore the UK’s infrastructure priorities and accelerate the adoption of AI.
Nscale is set to significantly expand its planned UK capacity for Stargate UK and the project is expected to be based across a number of sites, including Cobalt Park, which will form part of the newly designated AI Growth Zone in the North East.
OpenAI will explore offtake up to 8,000 GPUs in Q1 2026 with the potential to scale to 31,000 GPUs over time. This sovereign capacity will enable OpenAI’s models to run on local computing power for specialist use cases such as critical public services, regulated industries like finance, research projects or national security partnerships.
NVIDIA will provide access to its most advanced GPUs, ensuring that Stargate UK benefits from the latest generation of AI hardware. Semiconductor designs by leading British chip design company Arm form part of Nvidia’s latest Grace Blackwell series of chips, demonstrating further collaboration between UK and US companies.
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, said, “The UK has been a longstanding pioneer of AI, and is now home to world-class researchers, millions of ChatGPT users, and a government that quickly recognized the potential of this technology. Stargate UK builds on this foundation to help accelerate scientific breakthroughs, improve productivity, and drive economic growth. This partnership reflects our shared vision that with the right infrastructure in place, AI can expand opportunity for people and businesses across the UK.”
World-class hardware is the foundation—adoption is the other half of the equation and that’s why OpenAI is committed to helping the UK prepare its workforce for the AI era. As part of this, we are bringing the OpenAI Academy—our AI literacy hub that helps people from all backgrounds learn about AI, the available tools, and best practices—to the UK to support the Government’s ambition to upskill 7.5 million workers by 2030.
In partnership with local business leaders we will design flexible and customizable learning experiences to expand access to AI education, which supports job creation and economic growth, whilst also ensuring that regions do not fall behind due to gaps in AI adoption. We will share more on this work with the UK Government in due course.
