SoftBank Group Corp., OpenAI, and Oracle Corp. are forming a $100 billion joint venture to fund artificial intelligence infrastructure, an effort unveiled with President Donald Trump aimed at speeding development of the emerging technology.

Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said that the two AI leaders, Sam Altman and Mustafa Suleyman do not care for each other.

Oracle is a natural partner as it is already one of the biggest data center operators in the U.S., while SoftBank has the money required to finance ambitious infrastructure projects. OpenAI, of course, is widely regarded as one of the leaders in terms of AI development.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced Stargate, a $500 billion AI infrastructure project that's expected to provide 100,000 jobs and boost the American economy, but Elon Musk believes the three companies leading the project don't have the funds.

Microsoft on Tuesday said it has changed some key terms of a deal with OpenAI after the ChatGPT creator announced a joint venture with Oracle and Japan's SoftBank Group to build up to $500 billion of new AI data centers in the United States.

Under the Trump administration, OpenAI and other members of the tech sector are making a push to establish AI dominance in the U.S.

US President Donald Trump announced that OpenAI, SoftBank Group and Oracle will unveil Stargate and invest $500 billion over the next four years to help the United States stay ahead of China and other rivals in the global AI race.

A $100 billion venture that President Donald Trump heralds as accelerating artificial intelligence in the US is expected to depend in part on power sources favored by his climate-focused predecessor — solar and batteries.

About 875 acres in Abilene, or roughly the size of New York’s Central Park, have been set aside to construct data centers, according to city documents seen by Bloomberg News. Or

Trump then went on to criticize the nation’s electric grid, calling it old while noting that he would allow the tech companies to rely on any fuel that they want to run the plants. And if the energy plants fail, Trump claimed the country could return to “good clean coal.”
