OpenAI CEO Sam Altman called Stargate, “the most important project for this era” and promised that all of the new investment his company was making would help cure diseases. Altman was actually prompted by Trump to talk about the medical advances that AI would supposedly figure out.

On Tuesday, OpenAI, SoftBank, Oracle, and MGX announced plans to form Stargate, a new company that will invest $500 billion in AI computing infrastructure across the United States over four years. The announcement came during a White House meeting with President Donald Trump, who called it the "largest AI infrastructure project in history."

Yes, that's the name of a 1994 Roland Emmerich movie. It's now a big infrastructure project to help power tech giants' foray into AI.
