A Microsoft and OpenAI appear to be about to strengthen their collaboration even further and, allegedly, are planning to build a supercomputer.
The Information website indicates that this supercomputer could cost up to 100 billion dollars, a value attributed to the use of millions of specialized 'chips'. The supercomputer – currently known as 'Stargate' – is reportedly the first of other supercomputers that Microsoft and OpenAI plan to build over the next six years.
