OpenAI puts Stargate UK on ice, blames energy costs and red tape (theregister.com) AI

OpenAI has paused its planned Stargate UK datacenter project, citing regulatory uncertainty and high energy costs. The company said it still wants to pursue the effort once conditions are right, while continuing to invest in talent and meet its UK public-service AI commitments. The project would have involved multiple UK sites and hardware investments tied to Nvidia GPUs, but OpenAI now says it cannot proceed on the original timeline.
