Prior to that, Altman, Softbank's Masayoshi Son, and Oracle's Larry Ellison joined US President Donald Trump to announce The Stargate Project at a White House press conference on Tuesday, January 21.
The Stargate Project is a system of data centres which will become the crucial infrastructure to support artificial intelligence (AI) by OpenAI in the US.
Stargate is now in fierce competition with Elon Musk's Colossus project, which is another similar AI infrastructure initiative by his startup xAI to build what it calls the world's largest supercomputer facility in Memphis, Tennessee.
