SoftBank's Masayoshi Son wants to build the next NVIDIA! Expected to launch AI chips in 2026, with the prototype to be announced as early as next summer.
Softbank CEO Masayoshi Son recently promised in a high-profile manner to invest $100 billion in the United States over the next four years, and proposed to create the next 'NVIDIA' in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). (Background: Nvidia collaborates with Softbank to launch 3 major initiatives: the first AI+5G telecommunications network, building Japan's strongest supercomputer, and an AI market) Softbank's commitment of k billion dollars Last week, Son and former U.S. President Trump appeared together at the Mar-a-Lago in Florida, announcing that Softbank would invest $100 billion in the United States over the next four years. Trump jokingly suggested that Softbank might raise this target to $200 billion, and Son wittily responded, 'I will try my best.' In addition to the financial commitment, Son also stated that this investment will be deployed during Trump's term and is expected to create 100,000 jobs focusing on artificial intelligence and infrastructure, injecting new vitality into the U.S. economy. Targeting the AI chip market In recent months, Son has shown a keen interest in the artificial intelligence hardware industry, particularly in the chip field. His ultimate goal is to dominate the market with self-developed chips like Nvidia, and to get a share of the global demand for AI hardware worth hundreds of billions of dollars. It is reported that Softbank's plan covers multi-level investments from chip design to energy infrastructure to support the operation of future AI systems. Son hopes to launch the first commercially viable artificial intelligence chips by 2026, and even plans to unveil prototype products as early as next summer. To achieve this, he plans to use Softbank's 90% stake in ARM to turn this semiconductor design company into a core R&D platform for AI chips.
