Among the events capable of fundamentally changing the course of AI development, particularly AGI, is the opening of the largest data centers in Texas and Kentucky.

• The first Stargate data center in Abilene, Texas, is expected to complete construction by May 30, 2025, with a second data center at the same site projected to finish by September 15, 2025. These openings mark the initial phase of the massive $500 billion AI infrastructure project led by OpenAI and partners like SoftBank and Oracle.

• Colossus Supercomputer Center is expected to be fully operational and online by fall 2025, with Elon Musk personally committing to this deadline. Some reports suggest it could have started partial operations as early as August 2024, potentially 8–12 months ahead of schedule.
