Microsoft and OpenAI plan to build a $100 billion data center







 Microsoft and OpenAI intend to create a huge data center project that may cost up to $100 billion, and will include an artificial intelligence supercomputer called “Stargate,” according to a new report published by the “The Information” technical website.


 The report, citing people familiar with the matter, stated that Microsoft will likely be responsible for financing the project, which will cost about 100 times more than the largest data centers currently in place.


 The report stated that Microsoft executives are looking forward to launching the project by next 2028.


 The report added that the proposed giant data center will be based in the United States, and will be the largest in a series of facilities that the two companies are looking to build over the next six years.


 “Stargate” is the fifth phase of a series of supercomputers that the two companies are working on together, and Microsoft is working on a smaller supercomputer from the fourth phase of OpenAI, and aims to launch it around the year 2026, according to the report.


 The report said that Microsoft and OpenAI are in the middle of the third phase of the five-phase plan, and a large portion of the cost of the next two phases includes purchasing the artificial intelligence chips needed to operate the giant data center.


 In response to the newly published report, Frank Shaw, a Microsoft spokesman, said: “We are always planning for the next generation of infrastructure innovations needed to continue pushing the boundaries of AI capabilities.”


 The report stated that the proposed project could cost more than $115 billion, more than three times what Microsoft spent last year on servers, buildings, and other equipment.


 The largest cost is due to the high prices of artificial intelligence chips from external suppliers, as the price of the latest artificial intelligence chip from Nvidia, called the Blackwell B200, ranges between 30 and 40 thousand US dollars, and the report indicated that the project will depend on different chip suppliers.
