OpenAI and Nvidia agree strategic partnership to deploy 10 gigawatts of Nvidia systems

by

Nvidia and OpenAI have announced a letter of intent for a landmark strategic partnership to deploy at least 10 gigawatts of Nvidia systems for OpenAI’s next-generation AI infrastructure to train and run its next generation of models on the path to deploying superintelligence.

To support this deployment including datacenter and power capacity, Nvidia intends to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI as the new Nvidia systems are deployed. The first phase is targeted to come online in the second half of 2026 using Nvidia’s Vera Rubin platform (main image).

Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia, says: “Nvidia and OpenAI have pushed each other for a decade, from the first DGX supercomputer to the breakthrough of ChatGPT. This investment and infrastructure partnership mark the next leap forward – deploying 10 gigawatts to power the next era of intelligence.” [Read more…] about OpenAI and Nvidia agree strategic partnership to deploy 10 gigawatts of Nvidia systems

OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank expand Stargate with five new AI data center sites

by

New data centers put Stargate ahead of schedule to secure full $500 billion, 10-gigawatt commitment by end of 2025.

OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank are embarking on the construction of five new US AI data center sites under Stargate, OpenAI’s overarching AI infrastructure platform.

The combined capacity from these five new sites – along with our flagship site in Abilene, Texas, and ongoing projects with CoreWeave – brings Stargate to nearly 7 gigawatts of planned capacity and over $400 billion in investment over the next three years.

This puts us on a clear path to securing the full $500 billion, 10-gigawatt commitment we announced in January by the end of 2025, ahead of schedule. [Read more…] about OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank expand Stargate with five new AI data center sites

OpenAI reportedly preparing to build humanoid robots

by

OpenAI is reportedly rekindling its interest in robotics, with a particular focus on developing humanoid robots. Recent job postings indicate the company is seeking professionals experienced in robotics hardware and software, suggesting plans to reestablish its robotics division.

This marks a significant shift from 2020, when OpenAI disbanded its robotics team due to challenges in data scarcity and the complexities of physical interactions. At that time, the company redirected its efforts toward AI models like ChatGPT, which could be trained on abundant text and image data.

In the interim, OpenAI has actively invested in robotics startups. Notably, it participated in a $675 million funding round for Figure AI, a company developing general-purpose humanoid robots designed to perform tasks in logistics and warehousing. Figure’s latest model, Figure 02, integrates OpenAI’s AI models to process voice commands, enhancing its operational capabilities.
