Traditional data centers are designed for general purpose work including web servers and databases, not the processing power required to train large language models. [^1]

In Texas, proposed conditions for new data center development include on-site independent power generation, closed-loop water recycling, and a ban on all Chinese hardware, software or components. [^4] Attorney General Ken Paxton stated these requirements at a Fort Worth business event on September 28. [^5]

Two separate LLM research updates landed alongside the infrastructure filings. Standardised Go code produces cleaner training data that helps models generate correct, idiomatic output in the language, Google reported. [^3] Researchers also published a new benchmark for testing large language model understanding of competitive Chinese-language debate. [^6]

## What this stands on

1. Traditional data centers are designed for general-purpose applications like web servers and databases, not the processing power required for training Large Language Models. ([coreweave.com](https://wf.coreweave.com/blog/the-redesign-of-the-data-center-has-already-started), News)
2. CoreWeave maintains a network of global AI data centers designed to support the training and serving of models. ([coreweave.com](https://wf.coreweave.com/blog/the-market-demand-for-ai-infrastructure-is-relentless-says-coreweave-ceo-mike-intrator), News)
3. The standardization of Go code creates cleaner, more standardized training data for Large Language Models (LLMs), helping them generate correct and idiomatic Go code. ([googleblog.com](https://developers.googleblog.com/why-go-is-an-ideal-language-for-ai-assisted-software-engineering/), News)
4. Ken Paxton stated that proposed conditions for Texas data centers include on-site independent power generation, closed-loop water recycling systems, and a ban on all Chinese hardware, software, or components.

5. On 2026-09-28 at a United States Hispanic Business Council event in Fort Worth, Texas Attorney General and Republican US Senate candidate Ken Paxton stated he supports data center development only with attached conditions.
