OpenAI and Microsoft reportedly planning $100 billion datacenter project for an AI supercomputer

Wow! That would be one gigantic datacenter! 

How many wind turbines & solar power panels are needed to run this one? (Caution: irony) 😊

"Microsoft and OpenAI are reportedly working on a massive datacenter to house an AI-focused supercomputer featuring millions of GPUs. The Information reports that the project could cost "in excess of $115 billion" and that the supercomputer, currently dubbed "Stargate" inside OpenAI, would be U.S.-based. 

The report says that Microsoft would foot the bill for the datacenter, which could be "100 times more costly" than some of the biggest operating centers today. Stargate would be the largest in a string of datacenter projects the two companies hope to build in the next six years, and executives hope to have it running by 2028. ..."
