OpenAI is discussing a lease for a 10-gigawatt data center campus on federal land in Pike County, Ohio, with financing support from Nvidia. The site is the former Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant, which the U.S. Department of Energy said in March 2026 is being redeveloped with SoftBank's SB Energy building 10 GW of new generation, including at least 9.2 GW from natural gas. If completed, the single campus would surpass the roughly 7 GW of planned capacity across OpenAI's seven Stargate locations.

Super Micro Computer (SMCI) slid about 10% in after-hours trading on Tuesday after detailing plans to raise roughly $7 billion to support its AI hardware backlog.

OpenAI said it confidentially submitted a draft S-1 to the U.S. SEC on June 8, 2026, as it weighs a potential IPO at an $852 billion post-money valuation.

On June 1, 2026, the U.S. Department of Commerce extended export-license requirements for advanced AI chips to overseas subsidiaries of China-headquartered companies.

Nvidia also estimates the market it exited is trending toward $50 billion.

OpenAI has begun rolling out an optional Lockdown Mode across ChatGPT account tiers, aiming to reduce data exfiltration risk tied to prompt-injection scenarios.
