Microsoft and OpenAI will create a data center worth $100 billion
Microsoft and OpenAI are planning to createData centerworth at least $100 billion. This is reported by The Information, citing sources close to the management of the companies.
Along with improving algorithms, hardware, in particular specialized chips, plays a key role in the development of the AI industry . The rapid implementation of generative neural networks has led to a rapid increase in demand for specialized data centers.
The project includes the creation of the Stargate supercomputer. Its launch is scheduled for 2028-2030. It will be the largest in a series that the companies plan to build over the next six years.
The development is in the middle of the third phase of five. A significant portion of the costs for the next two stages is associated with the acquisition of the necessary AI chips.
According to the publication, the new project will be designed to work with processors from different suppliers.
The fourth phase, scheduled for 2026, includes the creation of a supercomputer for OpenAI. The fifth involves the construction of the largest supercomputer on the market, Stargate, with millions of AI chips. It is planned to be completed by the end of the decade.
The Information suggests spending could exceed $115 billion, triple Microsoft's spending on servers, buildings and other equipment in 2023.“We are always thinking about the next generation of infrastructure innovations needed to expand the capabilities of neural networks,” a Microsoft spokesperson told Reuters.
In April of the same year, the publication reported on the company’s work on its own AI chips for training large language models.
Let us recall that in February 2024, OpenAI discussed raising $7 trillion to develop the production of AI chips, according to the WSJ.
In recent years, the term “Internet of Things” (IoT) has become one of the most popular in the tech world. It promised to connect billions of devices. The next stage was the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), which brought revolutionary changes to production processes. Today, a new term is coming onto the scene – AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things), combining the capabilities of the Internet of Things with the power of AI.
Sixty-eight IT executives from 15 countries, including Brazil, India, USA, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Kazakhstan, and Indonesia participated in the project.
June 2024 was a very dynamic month for AI and data analytics market, marked by significant events, product launches, and industry insights.
Artem Kalivanov, CIO of Beeline Uzbekistan, discussed IT project management in terms of project definition, management models like Waterfall and Agile methodologies, and the importance of Lean in process management.
