Microsoft and OpenAI

Microsoft and OpenAI are working together on building an artificial intelligence supercomputer called “Stargate” that could cost up to $100 billion, according to a report by The Information on Friday.

Citing a person who discussed it with Sam Altman and another who has seen some preliminary cost estimates, the publication cited a preliminary cost of $100 billion. It is also likely that Microsoft will finance the project which could cost 100 times more than some of the largest data sets and which will only be completed by the year 2028.

The report says Stargate will be the largest in a series of supercomputers that Microsoft and OpenAI plan to build over the next six years. The supercomputer plan is currently in the middle of the third phase and the Stargate is part of the fifth and final phase. According to the report, a significant portion of the cost of the upcoming phases will come from acquiring AI chips.

About “Stargate”

Over the next six years, the businesses Microsoft and OpenAI want to create a number of supercomputers. Their goal is to build the largest supercomputer, funded by Microsoft, which would cost about 100 times more than the largest existing data centers.
The proposed Stargate project is expected to launch in 2028, following a major AI upgrade to OpenAI in early 2022.

The project could cost as much as $100 billion, according to people involved in private discussions with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and others who have seen Microsoft’s early cost estimates.
The supercomputers are being divided into five phases, with Stargate being the fifth and current focus. Currently, a small fourth-stage supercomputer is in development and is planned to be launched in 2026. To complete the remaining steps, a significant portion of the cost will be spent on purchasing the necessary AI chips.

About ChatGPT

ChatGPT is a chatbot developed by OpenAI that became live on November 30, 2022. ChatGPT uses a large language model that helps users direct conversations according to their preferred length, format, style, detail level, and language.
At each conversation stage, known as prompt engineering, ChatGPT treats successive prompts and replies as context.
ChatGPT uses GPT-3.5 or GPT-4, which are built by OpenAI using Google’s Transformer architecture. Both a free and a premium version known as “ChatGPT Plus” are offered.
Other companies such as Google, Baidu and Meta are also developing competing products of their own, including Bard, Ernie Bot and LLaMA.

About OpenAI

OpenAI is an American organization that was created in 2015. Its main objective is to research artificial intelligence and develop highly advanced computer systems that can perform valuable tasks better than humans.
This type of computer system is called Artificial General Intelligence or AGI. OpenAI focuses on developing AGI that is safe and beneficial for everyone.
The organization was founded by a group of people, including Ilya Sutskever, Greg Brockman, Trevor Blackwell, and Vicki Cheung.

Sam Altman and Elon Musk were initially board members. The current CEO of OpenAI is Sam Altman.
