According to people familiar with the matter, torrential rain in Texas earlier this year delayed the construction of a key artificial intelligence data center at Coreweave, a leader in cloud AI computing power leasing, causing its completion date to be delayed by several months. According to reports, torrential rain and high winds delayed a construction site for about 60 days in Denton, Texas, and the contractor was unable to pour concrete for the complex. The data center cluster will provide approximately 260 megawatts of computing power, which CoreWeave plans to lease to OpenAI. Additionally, revisions to some data center design drawings built by partners in Texas and elsewhere have led to other delays.
