Microsoft is working on 'futureproofing' AI by constructing a $100 billion supercomputer named 'Stargate' exclusively for OpenAI. Microsoft and OpenAI are intending to establish multiple data centers throughout the United States. Stargate, being the most extensive among these data centers, will occupy a 5-acre area and will require around 5 gigawatts of energy.
The Information released a report on Friday stating that Microsoft is currently developing plans to build an innovative $100 billion supercomputer named "Stargate." This supercomputer is designed to support the upcoming generation of artificial intelligence systems from OpenAI.
Stargate is reportedly the last stage of a joint project between Microsoft and OpenAI, with the intention of establishing numerous supercomputers throughout the US. Rumors indicate that Stargate may become one of the world's biggest and most advanced data centers, possibly spanning hundreds of acres. Furthermore, plans imply that the site will require approximately 5 gigawatts of energy.
This aspirational initiative is considered vital for OpenAI's efforts to train and implement sophisticated AI models that exceed the abilities of ChatGPT-4. The potential launch could be expected as soon as 2028.
The name "Stargate" is inspired by the 1994 sci-fi movie that shares the same title, which focuses on a cosmic teleportation tool found in Egypt. The film's central ideas of exploration and knowledge are mirrored in the well-known trailer for Stargate that powerfully states, "The key to the past, the door to the future, the passage to discovery." This has become a meaningful source of inspiration for the AI supercomputer project undertaken by OpenAI and Microsoft.
The implementation of Stargate largely depends on OpenAI's capacity to release its forthcoming significant AI enhancement, supposedly GPT-5, expected to launch early in 2025 according to a report by The Information. Microsoft is eager to make sure that OpenAI maintains its leadership in developing AI models that draw worldwide interest.
Significantly, OpenAI's inability to complete a new AI project called "Arrakis" in 2023 highlights worries about the company's path of innovation. This is mostly due to the challenges associated with setting up and managing a supercomputing infrastructure, including logistical and financial issues.
The progression of Stargate likewise illuminates speculations about Sam Altman's alleged creation of an expensive AI chip production facility. A key obstacle in building an AI supercomputer of this scale is obtaining Nvidia GPUs to support the framework.
The ongoing scarcity of Nvidia chips during the AI industry's buzz phase has sparked theories that a strong rival from Altman and Microsoft might potentially shake up the market and provide unparalleled benefits.
Microsoft and OpenAI are progressing with their ambitious supercomputer project, and the excitement brewing around Stargate highlights its potential to revolutionize the field of AI research and development.
