The Open Compute Project began in Facebook as an internal project in 2009 called "Project Freedom". The hardware designs and engineering team were led by Amir Michael (Manager, Hardware Design)<ref>{{Cite web|date=2009-11-27|title=Facebook Follows Google to Data Center Savings|url=https://www.datacenterknowledge.com/archives/2009/11/27/facebook-follows-google-to-data-center-savings|access-date=2020-12-13|website=Data Center Knowledge|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Oxide Computer Company: On the Metal: Amir Michael|url=https://oxide.computer/podcast/on-the-metal-2-amir-michael/|access-date=2020-12-13|website=Oxide Computer Company|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite magazine|title=Facebook Hacks Shipping Dock Into World-Class Server Lab|language=en-us|magazine=Wired|url=https://www.wired.com/2012/01/facebook-server-lab/|access-date=2020-12-13|issn=1059-1028}}</ref> and sponsored by Jonathan Heiliger (VP, Technical Operations) and Frank Frankovsky (Director, Hardware Design and Infrastructure).

Since 2022 however, the power demands of [[AI boom|AI in the data center]] has necessitated higher power requirements in order to fulfill the heavy power demands of newer [[AI accelerator|data center processors]] that have since been released. Meta is currently in the process of updating its Open Rack v3 rectifier, power shelf, battery backup and power management interface specifications to account for these new more powerful AI architectures being used.
In May 2024, at an Open Compute regional summit, Meta and Rittal outlined their plans for development of their High Power Rack (HPR) ecosystem in conjunction with rack, power and cable partners, increasing the power capacity in the rack to 92 kilowatts or more of power, enabling the higher [[Electric power|power needs]] of the latest generation of processors.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Open Compute Project |title=ORv3 High Power Rack (HPR) Ecosystem Solution |url=https://youtube/X5A_uX1vzvg |website=youtube.com |publisher=Youtube |access-date=25 September 2024}}</ref> At the same meeting, Delta Electronics and [[Advanced Energy]] introduced their progress in developing new Open Compute standards specifying power shelf and rectifier designs for these HPR applications.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Open Compute Project |title=Requirements/Considerations of Next Generation ORv3 PSU and Power Shelves |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YB08H1ssJc |website=Youtube |date=4 May 2024 |access-date=25 September 2024}}</ref> Rittal also outlined their collaboration with Meta in designing airflow containment, [[busbar]] designs and [[Ground (electricity)|grounding]] schemes to the new HPR requirements.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Open Compute Project |title=ORv3 High Power Rack (HPR) Ecosystem Solution |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5A_uX1vzvg |website=Youtube |date=4 May 2024 |access-date=25 September 2024}}</ref>
