Microsoft and OpenAI Aim to Build $100B AI Supercomputer by 2028

Microsoft and OpenAI planning to build a $100 billion supercomputer called "Stargate" to power AI, launching as soon as 2028

Would be part of a 5-phase plan over next 6 years to build a series of supercomputer installations

Stargate could have 100x more computing power than largest current data centers

Microsoft likely to provide funding, already committed $13B+ to OpenAI

Chip supply and energy demands are main challenges; may require gigawatts of power and alternative energy sources like nuclear
