Thailand reinforces border troops after Cambodia clash
Tensions are rising along the Thailand–Cambodia border as both nations reinforce their military presence following a deadly skirmish and failed de-escalation talks.
Nvidia, Cisco, Oracle and OpenAI are backing a massive artificial intelligence data center in Abu Dhabi called “UAE Stargate,” a project closely tied to a similar U.S. initiative launched by president Donald Trump earlier this year.
The Abu Dhabi site will be built by Emirati tech company G42 and span 10 square miles with up to 5 gigawatts of computing power. The first phase will feature a 1-gigawatt compute cluster, U.S. officials confirmed.
Nvidia is expected to supply the center with its newest Blackwell GB300 AI chips, and executives including Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and OpenAI’s Sam Altman were present in the UAE for the announcement.
The UAE facility is part of a larger cross-border AI infrastructure plan. It will work in tandem with the U.S.-based “Stargate” data centers championed by Trump, who visited the UAE and Saudi Arabia this week on his first foreign trip of his second term.
The U.S. version of Stargate is in development across 16 states, with construction already underway in Abilene, Texas. Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison has also backed the project.
Nvidia also announced in Saudi Arabia that it will sell 18,000 Blackwell chips to local firm Humain for AI data centers there. AMD confirmed it will also supply chips, and Humain has committed $10 billion to the project.
