Anthropic CEO sceptical of OpenAI’s $500 billion ‘Stargate’ venture funding

Anthropic Chief Executive Officer Dario Amodei expressed skepticism about the financing for rival OpenAI’s $500 billion infrastructure venture and called the planned project “a bit chaotic.”

In an interview with Bloomberg News at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Wednesday, Amodei said it’s “hard to make head or tail” of OpenAI’s new “Stargate” joint venture with SoftBank Group Corp., Oracle Corp. and other partners. The effort, announced by President Donald Trump at an event on Tuesday, is focused on building out the physical infrastructure needed to support AI development.
