SoftBank Group Corp. and its telecommunications unit plan to begin offering U.S. customers access to AI-focused cloud computing resources next fiscal year, as demand for data center capacity grows. Bloomberg reports the effort will involve renting AI compute to U.S. companies and is tied to SoftBank’s pipeline of data center projects. The Japan Times says the company plans to set up a new venture this month to deliver “AI-tailored” cloud services. That report adds that SoftBank’s longer-term target is to provide data center capacity at an aggregate scale of about 10 gigawatts by around 2030. While details such as pricing, customers, or specific technology partners are not covered in the provided summaries, the accounts are aligned on the core plan: launch AI cloud services in the United States on a staged timeline, begin operations next fiscal year, and scale capacity toward a multi-gigawatt footprint by the end of the decade. The initiatives are presented as a way for SoftBank to monetize ongoing data center development and meet enterprise demand for AI infrastructure.
