Strengthening the U.S. AI supply chain through domestic manufacturing
建设支撑先进 AI 所需的基础设施，是强化国内供应链、推动国家再工业化的历史性机遇。如果抓住这一契机，能够催生美国制造业活力、改造电网、创造体面薪酬的就业岗位，并稳固美国的领导地位。在美国经济的兴衰中，基础设施素来具有决定性意义，在“情报时代”这一点尤为突出。
作为参与者之一， OpenAI 一直在尽力而为。自近一年前启动 Stargate 计划以来， OpenAI 已宣布的规划产能使其距离实现 10 吉瓦承诺已超过一半。这些投资已经在全国各地社区转化为优质岗位和地方经济增长。未来几年， OpenAI 表示将以此为基础，强化更广泛的国内 AI 供应链，并加速对支持美国 AI 领导力的 U.S. 制造能力的投资。
作为该项工作的组成部分， OpenAI 今天发布了一项面向美国本土制造的新的 RFP ，聚焦 AI 供应链关键环节的制造，包括数据中心用物资、消费电子和机器人。其目标是识别并促成国内制造能力，以在 AI 基础设施规模化时缩短交付周期、增强韧性并延续技术领先优势。
OpenAI 征求来自制造商、供应商与合作伙伴的建议书，对象为那些正在建设或准备在 U.S. 建造 AI 生态所需关键部件与系统的企业，主要包括：
● 面向消费电子的模块、工装设备与最终组装；
● 支持数据中心的计算、供电、制冷及相关硬件制造；
● 高级机器人所需的关键输入件（例如齿轮箱、电机、功率电子）。
谈到 AI 基础设施，人们常把讨论局限于芯片和数据中心，但先进 AI 依赖更为广泛的物理组件生态：机架、布线、网络设备、冷却系统、供电与功率电子、机电模块，以及测试与组装能力，都是实现大规模运行所必需。此次 RFP 旨在利用已有势头，找出通过有针对性的合作、需求信号与协调，能够更快增长、实现更大规模并巩固 U.S. 在 AI 领域更持久领导力的环节。
对 RFP 的回应将用于指导合作、采购策略和基础设施规划。 OpenAI 将以滚动方式审阅提案，并与入选的响应者商讨下一步。提交提案的截止时间为 2026 年 6 月。

Building the infrastructure required to power advanced AI presents a historic opportunity to strengthen domestic supply chains and reindustrialize the country. If we seize it, we can catalyze U.S. manufacturing, modernize our energy grid, create well-paid jobs, and strengthen American leadership. Infrastructure has long been destiny when it comes to America’s economic success, and that will be especially true in the Intelligence Age.
At OpenAI, we’re committed to doing our part. Since launching our Stargate initiative almost one year ago, we’ve announced planned capacity that puts us well over halfway to meeting our 10-gigawatt commitment. These investments are already translating into good jobs and local economic growth in communities across the country. Over the coming years, we’ll build on this progress by strengthening the broader domestic AI supply chain and accelerating investment in U.S. manufacturing capabilities that support American AI leadership.
As part of that work, today we’re launching a new Request for Proposals (RFP) focused on U.S.-based manufacturing across key parts of the AI supply chain, including data center inputs, consumer electronics, and robotics. Our goal is to identify and enable domestic manufacturing capacity that can help shorten timelines, strengthen resilience, and extend technology leadership as AI infrastructure scales.
We’re seeking proposals from manufacturers, suppliers, and partners who are building – or are prepared to build – critical components and systems for the AI ecosystem in the United States, including:
● Modules, tooling and equipment, and final assembly for consumer electronics
● Manufacturing for compute, power, cooling, and supporting data center hardware
● Critical inputs for advanced robotics (e.g., gearboxes, motors, power electronics)
When people talk about AI infrastructure, the conversation often stops at chips and data centers. But advanced AI depends on a much broader ecosystem of physical components: the racks, cabling, networking gear, cooling systems, power systems, power electronics, electromechanical modules, and testing and assembly capacity are all required to bring it all online at scale. Our RFP aims to build on momentum that already exists by identifying where targeted partnerships, demand signals, and coordination can help unlock faster growth, larger scale, and more durable U.S. leadership in AI.
Responses to the RFP will help inform partnerships, procurement strategies, and infrastructure planning. We see this as part of a broader story of reindustrialization. Across the country, manufacturers are investing in advanced production capabilities to support the AI ecosystem – bringing new facilities online, modernizing supply chains, and expanding skilled workforces. These investments are critical to ensuring that the benefits of AI are created and shared here in the U.S..
We will review proposals on a rolling basis and follow up with selected respondents on next steps. The deadline to submit a proposal is June 2026.
