Technical details of the investment
Both companies will work with Nvidia NVLink technology to connect their architectures. They also confirmed that the first gigawatt of systems will be implemented in 2026 on the Vera Rubin platform.
Nvidia will invest $100 billion in OpenAI to create data centers and drive AI toward superintelligence
Both companies will work with Nvidia NVLink technology to connect their architectures. They also confirmed that the first gigawatt of systems will be implemented in 2026 on the Vera Rubin platform.
The magnitude of the project is reflected in the unit of measurement itself. Gigawatts make it possible to describe massive groups of AI chips, showing the unprecedented scale of this initiative.
The announcement came just a month after Huang promised to launch "revolutionary products" as part of Nvidia's global expansion. The company also recently became a shareholder in Intel, strengthening its position as an industry leader.
Nvidia and OpenAI seek to accelerate the development of more advanced models and set the course for the next technological era.
Nvidia announced a historic investment of US$100 billion in OpenAI. The agreement aims to build data centers and systems with greater power to train and run the next generation of artificial intelligence models.
According to both companies, the project aims to take a decisive step toward so-called "superintelligence," with unprecedented infrastructure in the technology industry.
Nvidia's founder and CEO, Jensen Huang, stated that this collaboration "marks the next step to drive the coming era of intelligence." The plan calls for the installation of at least 10 gigawatts, which is equivalent to between 4 and 5 million GPUs.
Meanwhile, Sam Altman, co-founder and CEO of OpenAI, emphasized that this infrastructure will be key for the economy of the future. He highlighted the importance of the union of American companies in the development of AI.
