Description quoted from Epoch AI Frontier Data Centers

Crusoe's Goodnight data center is notable for a major mid-flight change in design. It was originally designed in 2024 for seven X-shaped buildings that closely mirror the first eight buildings of the OpenAI Stargate Abilene data center (also built by Crusoe). This was revised in 2025 to 6 buildings, with Buildings 3-6 using a simple rectangle shape. Given the structural similarities to Abilene, it is plausible it is equipped with NVIDIA chips. Google is a potential user, based on reporting that Google is investing in a data center in Armstrong County. Goodnight is a location near the data center, and it is used for naming in the tax abatement agreements we have inspected. However, the data center is actually located in the town of Claude, Texas.

Methods and sources

Ownership roles

Title identifies the legal owner of the site; operation identifies who runs it. AI-hardware ownership follows the catalog’s attribution of the machines inside, whose owner may lease the facility.

Each role requires its own attribution. An operator named in a source supplies evidence of operation only.

Parent companies

Ownership checks start with each company named at the site and follow recorded parent relationships. A company holding several roles is checked once. Its linked company page lists the relationships and their sources; further parents may remain undocumented.

Level 1 identifies a company at the site, level 2 its parent, and each further level another parent. Export-control designations and government investments are assigned to the company concerned.

Missing values

Unrecorded roles remain blank. Findings whose company position is unresolved stay in the list with that position labelled unknown.

Publication limits

Subscription corporate data helps identify parent relationships and sovereign investments. Publication is limited to relationship classes and supporting public sources; licensed records, identifiers and values are withheld.

Epoch AI estimates capacity using satellite imagery, permits and corporate disclosures. Its catalog is the source for this site record.
