Stargate’ AI Supercomputer

April 4, 2024

Tech giants Microsoft and OpenAI have revealed plans to construct an unprecedented artificial intelligence supercomputer known as “Stargate.”
This ambitious endeavor, estimated to cost a staggering $100 billion, represents a significant leap forward in AI infrastructure and capabilities.
Microsoft is set to spearhead the financing of the project, with OpenAI contributing its expertise in AI research and development.
The ambitious Stargate project aims for completion by 2028, marking the culmination of a series of supercomputers envisioned by the collaboration over the next six years.
Stargate represents the pinnacle of this collaboration, positioned as the fifth and final phase of a meticulously planned endeavor.
The monumental budget primarily encompasses the acquisition of, a necessity for powering the supercomputer’s advanced capabilities.
The surging demand for GPUs, driven by the explosive growth of generative AI, has resulted in a market bottleneck.
Project aims to diversify its chip suppliers to mitigate scarcity and price volatility. Both Microsoft and Nvidia have announced custom-designed computing chips, indicating a strategic move towards self-sufficiency in chip technology and reducing reliance on external suppliers.
