Announcing The Stargate Project The Stargate Project is a new company which intends to invest $500 billion over the next four years building new AI infrastructure for OpenAI in the United States. We will begin deploying $100 billion immediately. This infrastructure will secure American leadership in AI, create hundreds of thousands of American jobs, and generate massive economic benefit for the entire world. This project will not only support the re-industrialization of the United States but also provide a strategic capability to protect the national security of America and its allies. The initial equity funders in Stargate are SoftBank, OpenAI, Oracle, and MGX. SoftBank and OpenAI are the lead partners for Stargate, with SoftBank having financial responsibility and OpenAI having operational responsibility. Masayoshi Son will be the chairman. Arm, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Oracle, and OpenAI are the key initial technology partners. The buildout is currently underway, starting in Texas, and we are evaluating potential sites across the country for more campuses as we finalize definitive agreements. As part of Stargate, Oracle, NVIDIA, and OpenAI will closely collaborate to build and operate this computing system. This builds on a deep collaboration between OpenAI and NVIDIA going back to 2016 and a newer partnership between OpenAI and Oracle. This also builds on the existing OpenAI partnership with Microsoft. OpenAI will continue to increase its consumption of Azure as OpenAI continues its work with Microsoft with this additional compute to train leading models and deliver great products and services. All of us look forward to continuing to build and develop AI—and in particular AGI—for the benefit of all of humanity. We believe that this new step is critical on the path, and will enable creative people to figure out how to use AI to elevate humanity.

NEWS: Two unnamed Nissan executives said the company has "12 to 14 months to survive." Nissan cut more than 9,000 jobs earlier this month, while simultaneously slashing production by nearly 20%. Nissan's operating profit dropped 85% in Q3.

here’s the short version: evo is a genomic foundation model with 7 billion parameters trained on 2.7 million genomes. it works like a universal decoder for dna, rna, and proteins—all the ingredients of life. imagine giving an ai the genome of a bacterium and saying, “improve this.” evo can.

Looks like "Project Stargate" is slowly being realized. A supercluster for AGI? The Information writes: "OpenAI said Wednesday it had shared information with U.S. government officials about how to build a data center for artificial intelligence that is five times larger than any data center that’s currently being developed. (...) The idea appears to resemble Stargate, the codename of a $100 billion supercomputing data center that OpenAI has discussed with its primary backer, Microsoft. In the meantime, OpenAI is working with data center providers to develop what could be a 1 gigawatt data center, according to the AI Data Center Database." As Ilya said, AGI will be a huge supercluster. And Project Stargate will probably be its realization.
