SoftBank and OpenAI Part Ways! 50 Billion Dollar 'Interstellar Gateway' Project Faces Crisis
Progress on the US 'Interstellar Gateway' AI Project is Halted: The original plan of 50 billion dollars in investment faces reduction, with SoftBank and OpenAI having disagreements on key terms such as data center location. The project has not completed any data center transactions six months after its launch, and currently only plans to build a small data center in Ohio by the end of the year. Masayoshi Son remains confident in his investment in OpenAI, but Altman has sought other partners and has reached a 3 billion dollar data center agreement with Oracle. The project's progress is far below expectations, highlighting the challenges faced in AI infrastructure development.
