# Firmus to supply OpenAI compute capacity in Malaysia

*2026-09-08 · Source: [Data Center Dynamics](https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/firmus-to-provide-openai-with-compute-capacity-in-malaysia/)*

Firmus has signed a deal to provide OpenAI with data center compute capacity in Malaysia. The agreement comes as OpenAI's separate Stargate compute buildout in South Korea has reportedly stalled.

**Why it matters:** OpenAI's pivot toward Malaysian capacity shows its Stargate-style compute expansion diversifying across Southeast Asia as individual country deals hit friction, apparently regulatory or logistical holdups in South Korea in this case. It's a reminder that securing enough compute for frontier AI increasingly depends on juggling multiple national partners rather than any single mega-deal.

**Topics:** chips, products
