Musk, an OpenAI co-founder and early investor, says he wants the company to get back to its original goal of creating AI for
the benefit of humanity, not revenue.

Sam Altman and Greg Brockman to
pay back any profit they received.

Now, the ChatGPT maker is calling Musk out, releasing redacted emails that seem to show him agreeing that the company needed to adopt a for-profit model to advance its projects.
This needs billions per year
immediately or forget it.
I really hope I’m wrong. , Elon Musk, via an email dated Dec. 26, 2018, provided by CNN.
He went on to suggest a $1 billion funding commitment and pledged to cover the remainder of whatever was not raised.
Musk ultimately contributed $45 million to OpenAI's funding, and $90 million was raised through other donors, CNN reports. .
He never fulfilled his promise
to fund the rest, CNN reports. .
We all understood we were going to need
a lot more capital to succeed at our mission —
billions of dollars per year, which was far
more than any of us, especially Elon, thought
we’d be able to raise as the non-profit, OpenAI, via blog post.
In 2019, OpenAI became a for-profit entity
and now has a $90 billion valuation.
Microsoft has committed
$13 billion to their cause.
We’re sad that it’s come to this with someone
whom we’ve deeply admired—someone
who inspired us to aim higher, then told us
we would fail, started a competitor,
and then sued us when we started
making meaningful progress towards
OpenAI’s mission without him, OpenAI, via blog post

The new feature shows off the AI's multimodal
capabilities, which comes about shortly after competitor,
Anthropic, revealed similar features on its AI models.

and respond through more than one medium,
which equates to understanding verbal and
image-based queries in addition to text-based ones.
In September 2023, ChatGPT launched its voice
chat feature, which allowed users to directly ask
the AI questions without having to type them out.

According to The Information, the two companies are planning to build a data center that would house an AI supercomputer
called "Stargate," Reuters reports.
The project, which could cost $100 billion or more, is reportedly set to launch in 2028.
The tentative cost is roughly 100 times
more expensive than some of the
biggest data centers that exist today. .
Demand for AI data centers has increased due to
the rapid advancement of generative artificial intelligence technology, Reuters reports. .
This is because traditional data
centers aren't as capable of handling
the advanced tasks that AI requires. .
Several supercomputers
would be built across five phases.
"Stargate" would be launched in the fifth phase, while a smaller supercomputer would be launched
in the fourth phase, tentatively around 2026.
Microsoft and OpenAI are reportedly
in the third phase currently.
We are always planning for
the next generation of infrastructure
innovations needed to continue
pushing the frontier of AI capability, Microsoft spokesperson, to Reuters .
The cost for the next two phases largely revolves around acquiring expensive AI chips.
In March, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said
that the newest "Blackwell" B200 AI chip
will cost between $30,000 and $40,000
