«Скайнет» от Microsoft и OpenAI: суперкомпьютер «Звездные врата» будет стоить $100 млрд

Microsoft and OpenAI plan to create an unprecedented supercomputer from millions of specialized chips that can The US-based supercomputer, known as Stargate, will be the centerpiece of a five-step plan to build a series of supercomputers over the next six years, according to The Information. Stargate, which will be the fifth phase of the plan, could be launched as early as 2028.

Executives from both companies have allegedly already drawn up plans for a data center that will use OpenAI artificial intelligence. Microsoft will likely provide funding for the project. OpenAI currently uses Microsoft data centers for its generative AI system, ChatGPT, in exchange for Microsoft's exclusive rights to resell OpenAI technology to its customers.

A supercomputer can be 100 times more expensive than the largest data centers currently in operation. The project seems to require a huge amount of money to be invested in the industry. Stargate has the potential to significantly exceed the computing power Microsoft currently provides for OpenAI, but it may require at least several gigawatts of power.

Getting enough chips is the main factor behind Stargate's high price. Enough energy to power the project can also pose challenges. Companies are considering the possible use of various sources, including nuclear energy.

Demand for artificial intelligence chips has reached a fever pitch, allowing a select few companies, most notably NVIDIA, to control the market. Altman expressed frustration with the situation and earlier this year made it clear that he wanted to create his own chips. Also a problem is the placement and cooling of processors. It is also unclear where the Stargate will be located.
