Microsoft and OpenAI are planning to create a computer worth $100 billion, primarily aimed at working in the field of artificial intelligence, as reported by The Information.

Here's what is known so far:

  • The project is planned to be launched by 2028;
  • The supercomputer has been named Stargate;
  • It will be based on millions of chips designed to process data generated by neural networks;
  • The estimated cost is $100 billion — a hundred times more than what is spent on creating the most extensive data centers;
  • The performance of the supercomputer will be increased in stages. For example, a certain peak is expected to be reached by 2030, but upgrades may continue even after that;
  • Currently, Stargate is in the planning stage.

It's worth noting that before the release of Stargate, Microsoft plans to build a $10 billion supercomputer based on an already existing data center.
