Microsoft Corp. plans to build a supercomputer with millions of processors to support OpenAI’s research, The Information reported today.
The system will be geared toward running artificial intelligence workloads. Reportedly codenamed Stargate by Microsoft executives, the supercomputer is believed to be part of a broader initiative that is also set to see the company build several other AI clusters. The project is expected to cost as much as $100 billion.
OpenAI already uses Microsoft infrastructure to train its AI models. In 2020, the cloud computing and software giant disclosed that it had built an Azure-hosted supercomputer with 10,000 graphics cards to support OpenAI’s work. According to the companies, the system ranked as one of the world’s five fastest supercomputers at the time of its launch.
Last March, Microsoft provided an update about its infrastructure collaboration with OpenAI. The company detailed that the original 10,000-GPU supercomputer it had built for the AI developer has since been upgraded to include tens of thousands of A100 chips. Microsoft executive Scott Guthrie stated that the system’s cost was “probably larger” than several hundred million dollars.
Today’s report from The Information indicates more upgrades are in the works. According to the publication’s sources, Microsoft plans to build several additional AI infrastructure installations through 2030. The plan is reportedly divided into five phases, with Microsoft and OpenAI currently believed to be in the middle of the third.
The fourth phase is expected to involve the construction of a new supercomputer that will launch “around” 2026. The fifth phase, in turn, will center on the system that Microsoft executives refer to as Stargate internally. The supercomputer and its millions of chips are expected to become operational as early as 2028.

So they can tout how Green they are.
Does Quebec have a lot of data centers? They certainly have a lot of hydropower.
The Bible talks about the “Beast” which enforces the edict that no man may buy or sell except they have the name/number o the the “Beast”.
Sounds like a huge AI system.
To save the planet, as its creators directed, it had to eliminate humanity, which was in line with its directive.
duh?
CO2 is declared to be a pollutant to be eliminated. So the AI might mandate CO2 removal, as is beginning now. Of course there is the little issue of living trees and plants require C02...so they all die...oops, O2 comes from trees and plants...oops, everyone dies...darn, who could have seen that coming?

Earth included in the above?
Or just Congress?
Yes, companies buy ads to appear that are relevant to the search query. Microsoft does the same. If people move their search to another engine the advertising money goes with it.

Not me.
Even Microsloth isn't dumb enough to think you can do this with Windoze.
How about Colossus .🤨
