OpenAI同軟銀聯手投十億擴建AI數據中心




OpenAI與軟銀合資10億美元投資SB Energy,推動Stargate數據中心擴建計劃

2026年1月9日 — OpenAI與軟銀集團(SoftBank Group)各自向其旗下能源公司SB Energy注資5億美元,合共10億美元,用以擴展支援其Stargate計劃的數據中心及電力基建。SB Energy於週五宣布,該公司將負責建設及營運OpenAI先前公布的位於德克薩斯州米蘭縣(Milam County)1.2吉瓦級數據中心。

此外,SB Energy亦將成為OpenAI的客戶,利用其API和部署ChatGPT技術於員工工作中。

Stargate是一個耗資5000億美元的多年計劃,旨在打造人工智能訓練及推理用的數據中心,主要投資者包括甲骨文(Oracle)。該計劃於2025年1月獲得時任美國總統特朗普支持。

隨著人工智能的快速發展,科技公司紛紛直接投資於電力基建,以解決能源供應成為AI擴展的瓶頸問題。對更大規模及更多數據中心的需求,推高了電力消耗。

SB Energy目前正開發多個數據中心園區,首批設施預計今年啟用。SB Energy聯合首席執行官理查德·霍斯費爾德(Rich Hossfeld)表示,此次合作將加速高級AI數據中心及相關能源基建的建設,達到支持Stargate規模與確保美國AI未來安全的目標。

數據中心建設熱潮也促使Meta等大型科技企業投入前所未有的資金,涵蓋晶片、電力、冷卻及伺服器等基礎設施。

同時,OpenAI在面對谷歌(Alphabet)旗下Google日益激烈的競爭下,AI系統訓練與運營成本不斷攀升。OpenAI執行長山姆·奧特曼(Sam Altman)去年底向員工透露,公司已進入「紅色警戒」模式,專注於提升ChatGPT性能,並推遲其他產品的推出,以迎戰谷歌旗下Gemini的市場壓力。

編輯評論與深入分析

OpenAI與軟銀集團向SB Energy注入巨額資金,顯示出AI產業對能源基建的依賴已成為不可忽視的現實。Stargate計劃作為一個規模龐大的AI數據中心建設項目,其背後不僅是技術的推進,更是戰略層面對於美國及全球AI競爭力的布局。值得注意的是,軟銀不單是投資者,更是SB Energy的控股方,這種產業鏈上下游的整合,有助於加速資源調配與項目落地。

此外,SB Energy成為OpenAI的客戶,意味著AI企業本身亦開始內部推廣AI應用,形成技術與業務的雙向融合。這種趨勢或將在未來成為科技公司提升效率和創新的常態。

另一方面,能源消耗問題日益嚴峻,AI數據中心的擴張對電力需求的劇增,對環境與能源政策提出挑戰。儘管SB Energy標榜可持續能源開發,但在全球能源轉型的壓力下,如何平衡高速增長與環境責任,將是業界必須面對的難題。

最後,OpenAI的「紅色警戒」狀態反映出AI競爭的激烈程度。谷歌Gemini的崛起,促使OpenAI重新聚焦核心產品ChatGPT,這種市場競爭將促使AI技術更加快速迭代,也意味著用戶將受益於更強大、更智能的應用。

總結來說,OpenAI與軟銀的這波投資不僅是資本流動,更是AI產業鏈生態系統升級的縮影,從能源到數據中心再到AI應用,顯示出未來科技發展的多維度融合趨勢。香港及全球投資者都應密切關注這類跨界合作,因為它們正實質影響著全球技術競賽與能源政策的走向。
