This $100 billion deal comes amidst a surge in demand for AI data centres capable of handling increasingly complex tasks driven by the rapid adoption of generative artificial intelligence technology.
Microsoft and OpenAI have signed a $100 billion deal for a data centre project that could see the emergence of an artificial intelligence supercomputer named “Stargate” by 2028.
Frank X. Shaw, Chief Communications Officer, Microsoft, said, “We are always planning for the next generation of infrastructure innovations needed to continue pushing the frontier of AI capability.”
This $100 billion deal comes amidst a surge in demand for AI data centres capable of handling increasingly complex tasks driven by the rapid adoption of generative artificial intelligence technology.
Microsoft executives plan to launch Stargate as early as 2028, and it is expected that OpenAI will release its next big AI upgrade by early next year.
