NVIDIA and Elon Musk’s XAI joined a consortium supported by Microsoft and Blackrock, which to expand artificial infrastructure in the US, companies said on Wednesday that Wednesday said that on Wednesday, as a global race as a global race to dominate newborn technology.
AI-related projects were initially formed a group formed last year with the target of investing more than $ 30 billion, which is one of the biggest attempts to bankrupt the data centers and energy facilities required to power the AI applications such as chatters.
US President Donald Trump extended two months after Stargate, a private sector AI Infrastructure initiative, supported by the SoftBank Group, Openai and Orockle, with a plan of up to $ 500 billion.

Consortium- including Abu Dhabi-supported investment firm MGX and Global Infrastructure Partners of Blackrock- turned themselves into an AI infrastructure partnership on Wednesday. Nvidia, a technical advisor, will continue in the role.
Training AI models and mass data processing require huge computational power, which increases energy consumption. To meet the demands, the tech companies are deploying thousands of chips in the cluster, running a bounce for special data centers.
To meet computing and power requirements, Consortium is looking to raise money from investors, asset owners and corporations, with a target of up to $ 100 billion, including loan financing.
