The Stargate Project
OpenAI, SoftBank, Oracle, and MGX announced a $500 billion US AI infrastructure venture at the White House on January 21, 2025.
Why It Mattered
Announced alongside President Trump as 'the largest AI infrastructure project in history', Stargate committed $500 billion over four years — $100 billion immediately — to build AI data centers across the United States, with SoftBank's Masayoshi Son as chairman and OpenAI holding operational responsibility. It inaugurated the era of nation-scale AI capital expenditure and made compute infrastructure an explicit instrument of industrial and geopolitical strategy.
