OpenAI's Data Center Pivot Underscores Wall Street Spending Concerns Ahead of IPO
OpenAI is abandoning plans to build its own data centers, opting instead to lease cloud capacity from partners like Oracle, Microsoft and Amazon after a severe weather‑related outage in Texas highlighted construction risks.
