OpenAI and microsoft Reportedly working on a $100 billion data center project.
The center, the subject of a Friday (March 29) report in the Information newspaper, will involve an artificial intelligence (AI) supercomputer. called “Stargate” It is scheduled to be launched in 2028.
The report says Microsoft is likely to fund the effort, which is expected to reduce the cost of even the largest data centers, according to sources in the cities involved in project discussions. Stargate will be the largest in a series of supercomputers that both tech companies hope to build.
According to the report, Stargate’s development will depend heavily on OpenAI’s ability to roll out its next major upgrade, scheduled for early next year.
PYMNTS has reached out to both companies for comment, but has not yet received a response.
Last week, PYMNTS investigated the “war over generative AI” that began when OpenAI released its ChatGPT model. Among the companies that could compete for the crown is Google. John Likatoassistant professor of computer science and engineering at the University of South Florida, said in an interview with PYMNTS.
he said this was the company’s responsibility “Organizational Expertise” And for “access to computing power and data,” Google’s Gemini model, specifically Gemini 1.5 Pro, offers a context window of up to 1 million tokens, allowing for longer contexts compared to GPT-4’s 128,000 token limit. Then he points out.
Licato added that few companies can match Google’s extensive experience with Transformers, the technology at the heart of ChatGPT, and its access to data. Other potential candidates include Meta and Anthropic, he said.
“Right now, probably the most important factor is having access to a huge amount of computing power,” Ricato said. “Companies like Google and OpenAI have millions (perhaps billions) of dollars worth of GPU processors and more advanced computing technologies such as TPUs (tensor processing units).”
Elsewhere in the AI space, PYMNTS investigated last week Openstream.ai The newly patented software is powered by an enterprise virtual assistant (EVA) platform that creates AI avatars, virtual assistants, and voice agents that can have human-like conversations without the need for backend complexity, scripting, or risk. The aim is to support corporate dialogue. Of hallucinations.
“our unscripted approach Interaction Management differs from other vendors in that it does not rely on designed interaction scripts. ” Raj Thumruri Openstream CEO and founder said in an interview with PYMNTS. “Combining the ability to understand these actions, conditions, and entities in an interaction (the neural part, which uses LLM) with the ability to reason about and plan for these (the symbolic part) gives us a very powerful ability. You can.”
