Recently, the technology industry has received a heavyweight news: Nvidia and OpenAI have announced a strategic partnership to jointly promote a globally anticipated artificial intelligence infrastructure development plan.

According to the agreement, Nvidia will deploy at least 10 gigawatts of Nvidia systems for OpenAI's artificial intelligence infrastructure. To support this grand plan, which includes the development of data centers and power capacity, Nvidia plans to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI. Such a massive scale and huge investment make it one of the world's largest and most ambitious plans for the development of artificial intelligence infrastructure, demonstrating the firm determination and strong strength of both sides in the field of AI.

OpenAI has revealed that the first phase of the plan aims to be launched in the second half of 2026. At that time, OpenAI will collaborate with NVIDIA as a computing and networking partner to advance its growth plan for artificial intelligence factories. Both parties will also jointly optimize the development roadmap in OpenAI models and infrastructure software, as well as Nvidia hardware and software, to achieve deep integration of technology and resources and inject strong impetus into AI development.

Huang Renxun, founder and CEO of Nvidia, is full of anticipation for this collaboration. He stated that Nvidia and OpenAI have mutually driven and grown together in the past decade, from the first DGX supercomputer to the breakthrough of ChatGPT, every advancement embodies the wisdom and efforts of both parties. And this investment and infrastructure cooperation mark a leap into the next stage of cooperation, deploying 10 gigawatts of computing power to provide a continuous source of power for the intelligent new era.

OpenAI co-founder and CEO Sam Ultraman also emphasized the importance of computing infrastructure. He believes that computing infrastructure will become the foundation of the future economy, and through the platform jointly built with NVIDIA, not only can new breakthroughs in artificial intelligence be achieved, but these breakthroughs can also be empowered to individuals and businesses in a scalable manner, promoting the application of AI technology in a wider range of fields.

OpenAI co-founder and president Greg Brockman reviewed the early close collaboration between the two parties. He pointed out that using Nvidia's platform, OpenAI has created AI systems that are used by hundreds of millions of people every day. The joint deployment of 10 gigawatts of computing power by both parties will further advance intelligent boundaries and bring the benefits of AI technology to everyone on a large scale.
