OpenAI announced it will invest $750 billion in infrastructure through 2030, a 25% increase from earlier estimates. The first major project is a $20 billion data center campus in Georgia, called Project Camellia, which will cover 1,400 acres and draw 3.2 gigawatts of power.

This expansion highlights OpenAI's commitment to scaling its AI capabilities, though details on the energy mix remain unclear amid concerns over increased natural gas capacity in the region.
