Microsoft, OpenAI planning $100B ‘Stargate’ to house supercomputer: report
NY Post
Microsoft and ChatGPT parent OpenAI are working on plans for a data-center project that could cost as much as $100 billion and include an artificial intelligence supercomputer called “Stargate” set to launch in 2028, according to a report on Friday.
The companies did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comment.
Rapid adoption of generative artificial intelligence technology has led to sky-rocketing demand for AI data centers capable of handling more advanced tasks than traditional data centers.
The Information reported that Microsoft would likely be responsible for financing the project, which would be 100 times more costly than some of the biggest current data centers, citing people involved in private conversations about the proposal.
The proposed US-based supercomputer would be the biggest in a series of installations the companies are looking to build over the next six years, the report added.
The Information attributed the tentative cost of $100 billion to a person who spoke to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman about it and a person who has viewed some of Microsoft’s initial cost estimates. It did not identify those sources.

DEAR ABBY: I recently married an old high school flame after 30 years apart. Since we are both in our 50s, we wanted a low-key ceremony — no wedding, no fuss, just us, madly in love and doing our thing. My older sister, the only person we told, begged me to be included — “At least let me sign as witness. At least let me bring a cake. At least let me do flowers.” We took her with us to the courthouse, and she took many pictures, which will be cherished.
