The Stargate Project is an American artificial intelligence (AI) joint venture created by OpenAI, SoftBank, Oracle and investment firm MGX.[1] The venture plans on investing up to US$500 billion in AI infrastructure in the United States by 2029. It has been planned since 2022 and was formally announced on January 21, 2025, by US president Donald Trump.[2] Incorporated in Delaware as Stargate LLC,[3] SoftBank's CEO Masayoshi Son will be the venture's chairman.[4]

It is named after the 1994 movie, Stargate, in which the stargates were portals to other worlds.[5] Because of its large scale, the program has been compared to the Manhattan Project.[6][7][8][9]
