According to the Financial Times of the United Kingdom, SoftBank is negotiating to invest up to 25 billion USD in OpenAI, which will make SoftBank the largest financial supporter of the ChatGPT maker OpenAI, and the two sides will collaborate on a new large-scale AI infrastructure project. The two companies announced last week that they would lead a joint venture to invest 100 billion USD in building "Gateway to the Stars"—a massive Datacenter project heavily promoted by US President Trump—over the next four years, this figure is expected to rise to 500 billion USD.

Multiple individuals familiar with the negotiations indicated that SoftBank is negotiating to directly invest 15 billion to 25 billion USD in OpenAI, having previously committed to invest over 15 billion USD in the "Gateway to the Stars". Ultimately, this Japanese company may invest over 40 billion USD in collaboration with OpenAI. An informed source stated: "Negotiations are still ongoing, and the amount SoftBank may invest for a major stake in OpenAI is a constantly changing objective." OpenAI also plans to directly invest about 15 billion USD in "Gateway to the Stars". According to several people familiar with the deal, SoftBank's Private Equity investment in OpenAI may cover the latter's commitments to "Gateway to the Stars."
