OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son are collaborating on a $500 billion AI megafactory project named Stargate, designed to meet the growing demand for artificial intelligence technologies. The initiative aims to advance AI development significantly, including the introduction of humanoid robots, which Altman described as having a sci-fi feel. Industry experts, including Andreessen and Elon Musk, emphasize the shift from software-based AI to embodied physical AI, particularly robotics, which Musk predicts will become the largest industry globally. Additionally, OpenAI is making a substantial hardware investment, acquiring Johnny Ive's startup and integrating 59 engineers to develop screenless AI devices targeted for release by 2026. Meanwhile, OpenAI's ChatGPT service is nearing $4 billion in revenue with 20 million subscribers in under three years, marking a rapid growth trajectory. Competitors like Anthropic have also launched new AI models, such as Claude, indicating an increasingly competitive AI landscape.
