Microsoft and OpenAI are collaborating on a $100 billion data centre project. The “Stargate” AI supercomputer, scheduled for debut in 2028, will be housed at the centre. It is anticipated that Microsoft would fund the project, which will likely be less expensive than even the biggest data centres.
The success of OpenAI in releasing the upcoming big update, which is anticipated early in 2019, will have a significant impact on Stargate’s progress. Microsoft has proven that it can create cutting-edge artificial intelligence infrastructure.
OpenAI has not yet heard back. Microsoft intends to keep pushing the boundaries of AI capability with the upcoming generation of infrastructure breakthroughs.
Microsoft is continuously preparing for the upcoming wave of infrastructure advancements that will further push the boundaries of artificial intelligence.
OpenAI’s ChatGPT model sparked the start of the generative AI race, and Google could enter the fray with its institutional knowledge, availability to data and processing capacity, and breadth of transformer experience.
The other formidable candidates are Anthropic and Meta. Access to enormous amounts of computing capacity is crucial for Microsoft since businesses like Google and OpenAI have millions of dollars’ worth of GPU processors and cutting-edge computing technology like TPUs.
