Microsoft Plans are underway to build a $100 billion supercomputer, said to be called “Stargate,” to power OpenAI next generation artificial intelligence system, according to a report information Friday.
Stargate is reportedly the fifth and final phase of Microsoft and OpenAI’s plan to build multiple supercomputers across the United States. The computer is rumored to be one of the largest and most advanced data centers in the world. It could cover hundreds of acres of land and require up to 5 gigawatts of electricity. It is considered critical for OpenAI to train and operate new AI models that are more advanced than ChatGPT-4. “Stargate” will be released as soon as 2028.
The name Stargate comes from 1994 science fiction movie About the interstellar teleportation device discovered in Egypt. The portal leads to a distant planet where Kurt Russell and James Spader must free enslaved people from a powerful false god.
“The key to the past, the door to the future, the gateway to discovery,” the book reads. official trailer to Stargate, which inspired OpenAI and Microsoft’s AI supercomputer.
The creation of Stargate relies heavily on OpenAI’s ability to deliver the next big AI upgrade, which is rumored to be GPT-5, which The Information reports will be launched in early 2025. Microsoft hopes to see OpenAI continue to advance AI models to attract the world. OpenAI reportedly failed to launch a project called “ArakisBy 2023, this suggests the company’s innovation may be slowing, largely due to the limitations of current supercomputers.
Stargate Could Explain Why Sam Altman Is Rumored to Create A very expensive AI chip factory. The biggest limiting factor in building an AI supercomputer of this scale will be ensuring that Nvidia GPUs power the entire computer. Nvidia’s chips have been in short supply throughout the AI hype cycle, and competition from Ultraman and Microsoft could give them an unprecedented advantage.
