A Microsoft and OpenAI appear to be on the verge of further strengthening their collaboration and are reportedly planning to build a supercomputer.

The Information website indicates that this supercomputer could cost up to 100 billion dollars (92.6 billion euros), 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.

“We are always planning the next generation of infrastructure innovations needed to continue pushing the frontier of Artificial Intelligence capabilities”said a Microsoft spokesperson, who did not directly confirm the news about the construction of this supercomputer.
