what happened
According to Moody's, SB Energy, which SoftBank backs, plans to give its staff access to OpenAI tools, including ChatGPT. The move is linked to the company's role in the large Stargate AI infrastructure project. Besides using OpenAI's APIs, SB Energy is also expected to build and operate a 1.2-gigawatt data centre in Milam County, Texas.
The announcement comes amid a public dispute between Elon Musk and Sam Altman. Musk has accused SoftBank of failing to pay for turbine orders linked to Stargate, but he has not provided details to back the claim. SoftBank is among the major investors in OpenAI and the proposed $500 billion AI infrastructure initiative.
why it matters
For markets, the story matters mainly as a signal of how large the investment in AI infrastructure has become. Musk's allegation is unsubstantiated so far, but it adds uncertainty around Stargate financing and SoftBank's outlook.
