SoftBank and OpenAI create a new AI partnership with the start of SB OpenAI Japan.

SoftBank and OpenAI, two big tech companies, are working together on a new project called SB OpenAI Japan. They want to use artificial intelligence (AI) to help businesses do things better and faster.

One of their first AI tools is called Cristal, and it can help companies with planning, marketing, and understanding old computer code. SoftBank will use Cristal in its own companies first and plans to spend a lot of money on it.

OpenAI's ChatGPT is also getting smarter with a new feature called “deep research. This feature allows ChatGPT to search the internet for information and put together reports quickly.

This partnership between SoftBank and OpenAI is part of a bigger project called Stargate, which also involves Oracle. Stargate aims to invest a lot of money in AI technology in the United States and other countries, including Japan.

The announcement of DeepSeek, a new Chinese AI company with advanced but affordable AI, has shaken things up in the tech world. It remains to be seen how this will affect the plans of SoftBank, OpenAI, and the Stargate project.
