Sabftbnak, the famous Japanese investment group, has taken the initial steps for a huge investment in Openai, the leading company in the development of artificial intelligence. Talking about between $ 2 billion and $ 5 billion, which can consolidate Softbank’s position as the largest Openai sponsor, a startup that has transformed the technology world with its creative product, ChatGPT.
Bloomberg news sources report that these talks are in the preliminary stages. Important is the separation of this possible investment from the Stargit project; A $ 2 billion project that Massayyoshi Sun, the Softbank, had previously planned for. The Stargit project, with the participation of prominent figures such as Trump, Sam Altman and the founder of Oracle, pursues an ambitious goal: the creation of an extensive network of artificial intelligence data centers across the United States, with a staggering $ 2 billion budget.
Despite these tempting perspectives, there is still no definitive agreement between Softbank and Openai and there is a possibility of stopping negotiations. The urgent need of Openai for more advanced processing infrastructure to boost its artificial intelligence is one of the main reasons for this effort to raise capital. In the meantime, one should not overlook the emergence of new rivals. The Chinese company Deepseek has become a serious challenge for the company by offering an efficient and affordable artificial intelligence that in some respects even out of Openai models.
As the news about the Softbank and Openai negotiations, Ilan Musk’s statements about the financial ability of Stargit project companies to fund $ 2 billion have added to the complexity of the field. Softbank, which has been observing artificial intelligence developments for a long time through its Vision Fund fund, has now found a good opportunity to enter the potential market for artificial intelligence.
