The company’s holding, as well as investments from it, such as PayPay and Ly Corp., will annually pay Openai $ 3 billion for the use of its and technologies.

SoftBank will join the growing list of technological giants, including Meta✴ Platforms and Microsoft, which allocate billions of dollars for the development of II technologies. The holding plans to send $ 15 billion to the Stargate AI project, and is also negotiating Openai on investments in a startup within $ 15–25 billion.

Sonai’s support reflects the revival of SoftBank as an investment company after a reduction period caused by a drop in the cost of the holding’s technological portfolio and a series of failures with investment projects, writes Bloomberg.
