He wrote on the handle: "next phase of the msft x oai partnership is gonna be much better than anyone is ready for!!"

He did not share any further details about the partnership.

The partnership between the two firms assumes significance at a time when the rise in China's DeepSeek AI bot has hit the tech firms in the USA.

The Chinese AI bot sent ripples across the tech world  became the top AI application on Apple's iPhone App Store recently.

The capabilities of the app drew comparison with Open AI's ChatGPT.

However, it operated with fewer chips and less data, reducing cost and production costs.

"This project will not only support the re-industrialization of the United States but also provide a strategic capability to protect the national security of America and its allies," it said.

The initial equity funders in Stargate are SoftBank, OpenAI, Oracle, and MGX.

SoftBank and OpenAI are the lead partners for Stargate, with SoftBank having financial responsibility and OpenAI having operational responsibility.
