Although first reported over the past year, the proposed Stargate Argentina project continues to make headlines. OpenAI, led by Sam Altman, has been linked to plans for a potential US$25 billion AI center in Argentina. If realized, the ambitious initiative would represent OpenAI’s first Stargate hub in Latin America and could become one of the largest technology projects in Argentina’s history.
The proposed project, named Stargate Argentina, would be OpenAI’s first Stargate hub in Latin America and stands to become one of the most significant technology initiatives in Argentina’s history. The facility’s high-performance computers would support the training and operation of next-generation AI systems intended for use across the region.
Argentina’s Patagonia region presents several distinct benefits: its cold climate helps minimize cooling costs, there is an abundance of open land, and the area offers ample access to wind, water, and natural-gas energy sources.
Importantly, the $25 billion investment would finance multiple years of construction, the acquisition of computer chips, servers, power infrastructure, and establishing robust internet connections—not just a single physical structure. The local energy and infrastructure company Sur Energy would be tasked with building the site and securing the necessary funding; meanwhile, OpenAI is positioned to become the main customer of the facility.
At present, OpenAI and Sur Energy have signed an initial agreement. However, key details—including the final contract, precise location, and financing arrangements—have yet to be concluded.
