SoftBank CEO says hes all in on OpenAI, reveals hes long wanted Microsofts spot as main backer
Summary
SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son says the company is fully committed to OpenAI and plans to deepen its partnership even as OpenAI’s relationship with Microsoft becomes more uncertain. SoftBank has increased its planned investment in OpenAI to about 4.8 trillion yen and continues to back AI initiatives such as the Stargate project. Son also says he wants SoftBank to become a central platform provider for artificial superintelligence over the next decade. He ties that goal to OpenAI and Arm, and points to SoftBank’s earlier acquisition of Arm and recent chip investment activity as part of the strategy.
