OpenAI and SoftBank are reportedly putting $19B each into Stargate

We may now know roughly how much money SoftBank and OpenAI are contributing toward Stargate, OpenAI's massive data center project.

Partners in Stargate have initially pledged $100 billion, some of which is being put toward a facility in Abilene, Texas.
