OpenAI and Australian data center operator NEXTDC signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on December 5, 2025, to build a new AI campus in Sydney. The project, valued at AUD 7 billion (~USD 4.6 billion), involves creating a sovereign computing facility and a large GPU supercluster with hundreds of megawatts of capacity. As reported by Reuters and the New South Wales government, this is part of the "OpenAI for Australia" initiative aimed at developing local infrastructure for training and running advanced models.
