Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is expanding its global footprint with plans to build multiple gigawatt-scale AI supercluster campuses capable of hosting millions of GPUs, as it seeks to meet surging demand for large-scale AI workloads.

The Open Compute Project (OCP) Global Summit, held at the San Jose Convention Center, drew a record crowd of more than 11,000 participants, underscoring the event’s growing importance in the global data center industry. Two major developments stood out during the keynote session: an expanded OCP board reflecting stronger collaboration across the ecosystem, and a strategic shift in technical focus from rack-level designs to power and connectivity beyond the data center.

Electronics giant Foxconn announced a major partnership with Nvidia on October 13, 2025, to develop next-generation AI data centers, rolling out a powerful 800-volt system designed to dramatically boost energy efficiency.

Open collaboration and shared standards will be essential to sustain the exponential growth of artificial intelligence (AI), AMD Chief Technology Officer and Executive Vice President Mark Papermaster said at the 2025 OCP Global Summit.
