According to a story published on Friday by "The Information" website, Microsoft and OpenAI intend to build a $100 billion data center that will include an artificial intelligence supercomputer known as "Stargate."

According to the publication, participants in private conversations about the concept stated that " Microsoft will certainly be in charge of financing the project, which will cost 100 times more than some of today's largest data centers."

 

According to the source, "The proposed computer, which is scheduled to be located in the United States, It will be the largest of several sites planned by the two corporations over the next six years.

According to the website, it learned about the $100 billion starting cost from a person who spoke with Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, as well as someone who saw some of Microsoft's projections. The webpage does not mention the sources.

The two corporations did not respond to Reuters' inquiries for comment.

"Stargate" - the fifth stage

Altman and Microsoft have deployed supercomputers in five phases, with Stargate being the fifth.

According to the site, Microsoft is working on a smaller supercomputer as part of the fourth phase of Open AI, with plans to launch it in around 2026.

According to the source, Microsoft and OpenAI are in the middle of the third phase of the five-stage plan, with a significant amount of the next two stages' costs going toward obtaining the requisite artificial intelligence processors. "We are constantly planning for the next generation of infrastructure innovations required to push the boundaries of artificial intelligence capabilities," Microsoft spokesperson Frank Shaw told the site.

The projected attempt may cost more than $115 billion, more than three times what Microsoft spent last year on capital spending on servers, buildings, and other equipment, according to the study.
