SOFTBANK Group and OpenAI each plan to commit US$19 billion of capital to Stargate, the US$100 billion US artificial intelligence (AI) endeavour President Donald Trump unveiled this week, the Information reported.
The ChatGPT maker will hold a 40% interest in Stargate, and would act as an extension of OpenAI, the report said, citing OpenAI CEO Sam Altman speaking to colleagues. OpenAI and SoftBank did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment.

WASHINGTON — Elon Musk is clashing with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman over the Stargate artificial intelligence infrastructure project touted by President Donald Trump, the latest in a feud between the two tech billionaires that started on OpenAI's board and is now testing Musk's influence with the new president.
The dismissal by Musk, who is one of Trump’s closest advisers and will head up an agency created to slash the nation’s budget, is one of his first public breaks with the administration. It’s also an unusual move for any senior policy official to question an initiative trumpeted by the president.

Elon Musk is skeptical about Stargate, the AI joint venture that includes OpenAI, and in a rare occurrence, he may be right.
