What a dumpster fire of a website.

My bet is Palantir, not OpenAI...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Don't worry. The power will be provided by imaginary nuclear reactors.

because the future occupant of the data center has not been named.

It's not thay "no one knows" but that information simply haven't been disclosed.

The classic definition of workstation is “immensely powerful, probably tweaked single user production computer”, which can of course be racked and remotely accessed, but we’re talking late 90s then.
