Papillion , Nebraska, United States
Google Papillion is an operational AI data center in Papillion , NE, USA, with AI chips owned by Google and used by Google DeepMind (likely). It hosts about 80k H100-equivalent chips — supported by an estimated 284 MW of IT power — at an estimated capital cost of $9.0 B. We estimate that it uses Google TPU v4, Google TPU v5e, Google TPU v6e, and Google TPU v5p chips. The timeline of power and compute capacity is based on satellite imagery, our cooling equipment power model, regulatory filings, chip availability, and chip efficiency.

Land clearing begins for Building 1 of expansion.
Building 2 under construction. Building 3 begins construction.
Building 1 assumed operational due to vapor from cooling towers. Building 2 4/7 cooling towers installed. Building 3 roof complete coverage but unfinished.
Building 2 assumed operational due to vapor from cooling towers. Building 3 5/7 cooling towers installed.
Building 3 look operational.
Land cleared for Building 4 and 5.
Building 4 shell mostly complete, Building 5 steel framing is underway.
