OpenAI CEO Sam Altman revealed on Tuesday that OpenAI has now committed approximately $1.4 trillion in infrastructure investments, equivalent to approximately 30 gigawatts of data center capacity. The statement helps clarify a number of plans the company has recently announced with chip, data center and financing partners.
Altman said that OpenAI hopes to achieve up to 1 trillion US dollars in annual infrastructure spending to provide continuous guarantee for its rapidly expanding artificial intelligence production capacity.
According to OpenAI’s latest regulatory filing, investment in artificial intelligence infrastructure is expected to bring significant improvements to global GDP in the next few years. The concept of OpenAI is not only to promote the development of artificial intelligence, but also to regard this as a new opportunity for the United States to revitalize the industry.
Previously, OpenAI has announced a multi-year cooperation with chip manufacturer AMD and will invest billions of dollars in purchasing AMD chips. This agreement is expected to allow OpenAI to occupy as much as 10% of US semiconductor companies. The move is to meet the growing demand for computing power in the field of artificial intelligence and to avoid the risk of over-reliance on market leader NVIDIA in the supply chain.
