OpenAI discusses leasing a proposed Ohio data center campus, with Nvidia potentially backing the effort, The Information says

The Information reports OpenAI is in talks to lease a large-scale data center on federal land in Ohio, in a deal that could involve financial support from Nvidia as AI compute demand accelerates.

By The Apex Times Newsroom2 min readAI-assisted Apex article

OpenAI is reportedly in negotiations to lease a planned 10-gigawatt data center campus on federal land in Ohio, a project that The Information says could include financial backing from Nvidia.

The report frames the arrangement as part of OpenAI’s effort to secure additional power and compute capacity for its AI services. The Information also indicated Nvidia involvement would not necessarily be limited to technology supply, but could extend to the financing structure of the Ohio site.

The Information’s details, as summarized by Yahoo Finance, did not outline the timing of any lease, the commercial terms of Nvidia’s potential backing, or how OpenAI would structure ownership and control of the Ohio facilities.

Nvidia has been at the center of the AI infrastructure buildout through its GPUs, networking, and data-center platform software that customers use to train and run large language models. In practice, the company’s role in large-scale data-center expansions often ties to the compute “stack” required by AI operators.

Broader industry reporting suggests OpenAI’s infrastructure expansion is already involving major partners and large commitments. For example, CNBC reported in September 2025 that OpenAI’s first data center for its “Stargate” project is up and running in Texas, using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and racks of Nvidia chips, with additional sites expected in other states including New Mexico and Ohio.

That earlier reporting also described Stargate as a multistate infrastructure push intended to expand the physical compute footprint required for AI. While the new Ohio discussion appears to be separate from the specific Texas rollout timeline, it fits the same pattern: securing both capacity and power at industrial scale.

Still, what’s missing from the latest public reporting is the most material deal-specific information. Neither The Information’s outline in the Yahoo summary nor any primary disclosure from OpenAI or Nvidia was included here regarding lease length, expected data-center completion, funding amount, or whether Nvidia would take an equity stake, provide credit support, or enter a structured supplier arrangement.

Investors and industry watchers will likely focus next on whether OpenAI and its partners confirm the Ohio site publicly, what role Nvidia plays if it backs the project, and whether the company can bring additional megawatts online on the schedule that AI infrastructure demands. Until then, the talks remain unconfirmed and deal terms are not detailed in the reported account.

Why It Matters

  • A 10-gigawatt project implies a major step in securing AI training and inference capacity as demand for compute continues to expand.
  • If Nvidia backing extends beyond hardware supply into financing, it would announcement a deeper involvement in customers’ infrastructure buildouts.
  • Large-scale deals for power and land can affect the pace at which AI providers can scale services and meet capacity needs.
  • Confirmations of Ohio plans could influence expectations for regional data-center development and the broader AI infrastructure pipeline.
