Record Notes

Stargate UAE is a 1 GW AI compute cluster in Abu Dhabi inside the larger 5 GW UAE-US AI Campus. OpenAI says the cluster is the first international deployment of its Stargate AI infrastructure platform and that 200 MW is expected to go live in 2026. G42 says Stargate UAE will be built by G42 and operated by OpenAI and Oracle, with NVIDIA systems, Cisco networking, and SoftBank Group participation.

ADCI removes the selected 1,000 MW value from this reference record. The parent G42 UAE-US AI Campus record already carries the selected 5,000 MW Abu Dhabi capacity envelope, and the canonical OpenAI/G42 Stargate UAE child record already preserves the 1 GW child-cluster context without selecting it for rollups.
