Stargate UK had been linked to builder Nscale and chipmaker NVIDIA. Earlier announcements described the project as an infrastructure platform designed to deploy OpenAI technology in the UK. The plan also included potential GPU capacity growth over time.
Reports said OpenAI had explored the offtake of up to 8,000 NVIDIA GPUs in the first quarter of 2026, with the possibility of scaling to 31,000 GPUs later. Cobalt Park was named as one possible site connected to the project. However, reports also said no confirmed construction progress had been announced for the location.
The UK plan was also tied to a memorandum of understanding signed in July 2025 between OpenAI and the British government. The agreement covered AI-driven growth, public sector use, and support for UK AI capability. Moreover, OpenAI described the commitments as non-binding, which meant no final investment obligation had been put in place.
