The project will entail a joint venture between Oracle, Open AI and Softbank with the promise of investing nearly $500 billion into artificial intelligence infrastructure over the next four years. Other partners also include Nvidia, Microsoft and ARM— companies that have all been paramount to the significant AI boom in recent years.

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."

Trump said the private sector joint venture will build data centers and create more than 100,000 jobs in the United States.
