OpenAI is putting its focus on AI infrastructure with Stargate at a time when rivals like China's DeepSeek are closing the gap on its AI models.

We may now know roughly how much money SoftBank and OpenAI are contributing toward Stargate, OpenAI's massive data center project.

SoftBank Group Corp. and OpenAI each plan to commit $19 billion of capital to Stargate, the $100 billion US AI endeavor President Donald Trump unveiled this week, the Information reported.

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."

Under the Trump administration, OpenAI and other members of the tech sector are making a push to establish AI dominance in the U.S.

A new $500 billion AI initiative, Stargate, was announced by US President Donald Trump, SoftBank, OpenAI, and Oracle, promising to create over 100,000 jobs. However, Elon Musks doubts about the project's funding and his ongoing rivalry with OpenAIs Sam Altman sparked public disputes.
