In this agreement, NVIDIA will be investing up to $100 billion in different phases starting from the second half of 2026.
OpenAI and NVIDIA announces plan to deploy at least 10 gigawatts of NVIDIA GPUs. The agreement is to support OpenAI’s AI infrastructure to train and run its next generation of models on the path to deploying superintelligence.
The first gigawatt is scheduled for the second half of 2026 on NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform GPUs. NVIDIA says it will invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI. The scale involves millions of GPUs.
Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “This investment and infrastructure partnership mark the next leap forward — deploying 10 gigawatts to power the next era of intelligence.”
Sam Altman, cofounder and CEO of OpenAI. “Compute infrastructure will be the basis for the economy of the future, and we will utilize what we’re building with NVIDIA to both create new AI breakthroughs and empower people and businesses with them at scale.”
We’re excited to deploy 10 gigawatts of compute with NVIDIA to push back the frontier of intelligence and scale the benefits of this technology to everyone.” Greg Brockman, cofounder and president of OpenAI.
OpenAI is set to work with NVIDIA as a preferred strategic compute and networking partner for its AI factory growth plans by co-optimize their roadmaps for OpenAI’s model infrastructure and NVIDIA’s hardware and software.
OpenAI has grown to over 700 million weekly active users and strong adoption across global enterprises, small businesses and developers. This partnership is set to advance OpenAI’s mission in building artificial general intelligence (AGI).
NVIDIA and OpenAI are finalizing the details of this new phase of strategic partnership in the coming weeks.
