Gate News message, April 14 — Microsoft will lease additional data center capacity at Nscale’s campus in Narvik, Norway, including 30,000 Nvidia Vera Rubin chips, according to Bloomberg.
The expansion adds to Microsoft’s earlier $6.2 billion commitment at the site. Nscale, a neocloud provider, said the site had been pitched to OpenAI under its Stargate plan, but OpenAI did not finalize a capacity agreement there.
OpenAI recently paused a similar Stargate project in the UK, citing energy and regulatory costs. A spokesperson said the company is still exploring capacity options in Norway.
