After announcing the big for-profit OpenAI restructuring that everybody expected, OpenAI just introduced a new AI initiative that could make ChatGPT the default AI choice for democratic countries and give the chatbot a major edge over competitors. OpenAI calls it “OpenAI for Countries,” essentially the international version of Stargate.
Project Stargate is OpenAI’s plan to invest $500 billion in AI infrastructure over the next few years, with help and support from the US government. OpenAI is working with Microsoft, SoftBank, and others on the project. Stargate will give OpenAI the massive compute power it needs for the future of ChatGPT.
OpenAI wants to replicate that kind of partnership with other governments around the world that are interested in their own Stargate-like projects. The OpenAI for Countries initiative will launch with 10 unnamed countries, where OpenAI will build ChatGPT infrastructure tailored to each market’s needs, with the blessing of the US government.
