Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said that although the company had previously announced an investment plan of up to 100 billion U.S. dollars and planned to cooperate with OpenAI to build ultra-large-scale data centers, it has not yet paid any money to the other party. Actual progress on the giant collaboration is still in its early stages.
Although the investment has not yet landed, the cooperation framework between the two parties has been clear, which may profoundly affect the global AI computing power pattern in the future. Huang Renxun emphasized that all capital investments will be implemented gradually according to project progress and technical needs to ensure efficient allocation of resources.
In September this year, Nvidia and OpenAI announced an epic strategic cooperation. Nvidia plans to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI.
According to the agreement, the two parties will jointly build and deploy AI infrastructure on an unprecedented scale. The core of the plan is to build an AI data center with a total capacity of at least 10 gigawatts, which will contain millions of Nvidia GPUs. This will undoubtedly become the super engine for OpenAI to train and run its next-generation AI model, and ultimately achieve the goal of ‘super intelligence’.
To support this ambitious vision, NVIDIA will make a staggering investment: with every gigawatt of data center capacity deployed, NVIDIA will gradually invest in OpenAI, up to a total amount of up to $100 billion. This investment is not only the largest single investment in the history of AI, but also demonstrates Nvidia’s firm confidence in OpenAI’s technology roadmap.
