Microsoft and OpenAI plan to invest $100 billion to build the Stargate supercomputer

On March 30th, according to The Information, insiders revealed that Microsoft (MSFT. O) and OpenAI executives have been developing plans for a data center project that will include a supercomputer with millions of dedicated server chips to power OpenAI's artificial intelligence. The project could cost $100 billion, according to insiders. Microsoft may be responsible for funding the project, which will cost 100 times more than some of the largest data centers today, indicating that building computing power for artificial intelligence may require significant investment in the coming years. The executives envision that the supercomputer Stargate, planned to be built in the United States, is the largest in a series of facilities planned by the two companies over the next six years.
