OpenAI and NVIDIA announced a landmark strategic partnership, unveiling plans to deploy at least 10 gigawatts of NVIDIA systems to power OpenAI’s next-generation AI infrastructure. This deployment aims to train and run the company’s upcoming models as it advances toward superintelligence. In a move that underscores the scale of the collaboration, NVIDIA plans to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI as these systems are rolled out, with the first phase expected to go live in the second half of 2026 using the NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform.
“NVIDIA and OpenAI have pushed each other for a decade, from the first DGX supercomputer to the breakthrough of ChatGPT,” said 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.”
