Microsoft and OpenAI plan to build a $100 billion supercomputer to power artificial intelligence: report

Microsoft and OpenAI are reportedly collaborating on the development of a supercomputer called "Stargate" that could cost up to $100 billion. The supercomputer would be a key component of a larger plan to construct a series of high-performance computing installations over the next six years. Stargate is expected to launch in 2028 and would enable OpenAI to further advance its artificial intelligence capabilities. Microsoft's involvement in the project is contingent upon OpenAI's ability to enhance its AI technology. Challenges include sourcing server chips and securing sufficient power for the supercomputer. The exact location of Stargate is yet to be determined.

Microsoft and OpenAI have a financial definition of AGI: Report | TechCrunch

Microsoft and OpenAI have a unique definition of artificial general intelligence (AGI) based on profits, according to a report. OpenAI must generate at least $100 billion in profits before they achieve AGI. However, OpenAI is projected to lose billions of dollars this year and may not turn a profit until 2029. This definition is different from the technical and philosophical understanding of AGI. The agreement between the two companies means Microsoft could have access to OpenAI's technology for over a decade. Some speculate that OpenAI may declare AGI sooner to exclude Microsoft, but the profit-focused definition may pose challenges.

Dell, Super Micro providing server racks for xAI's supercomputer

Elon Musk's artificial intelligence startup, xAI, is partnering with Dell Technologies and Super Micro Computer to build a supercomputer. Musk announced on social media that Dell will assemble half of the server racks for the supercomputer, while Super Micro will provide the other half. This collaboration aims to power the next version of xAI's AI chatbot, Grok. The training of AI models like Grok requires a large number of power-hungry chips, which are in short supply. Musk plans to have the supercomputer operational by the fall of 2025.

Behind OpenAI's audacious plan to make AI flow like electricity

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, has proposed an ambitious plan to create the necessary computing power for building advanced artificial intelligence (AI). The plan involves the construction of new computer chip factories and data centers worldwide to provide a global reservoir of computing power for AI development. While some concerns have been raised, the talks have expanded into Europe and Canada.

Microsoft needs a better seat at OpenAI’s table

Microsoft played a strategic move in the OpenAI drama but now faces the challenge of solidifying its relationship with the startup while also asserting its own path in the field of artificial intelligence. Despite Wall Street's approval of Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella's handling of the situation, the AI strategy's vulnerability was exposed. Microsoft's close partnership with OpenAI gave it an advantage in generative AI, but without any board seat or power, Microsoft needs OpenAI to thrive. However, there is a risk of overreliance on OpenAI, prompting Microsoft to start hedging its perceived dependence.
