Sept. 23 (UPI) -- Nvidia said it would invest as much as $100 billion as part of a strategic partnership that will see the chipmaker deploy huge processing firepower to help train and run OpenAI's new generation of AI models, the next milestone on the road to "superintelligence."
Under the tie-up, the investment will enable OpenAI to progressively build and roll out at least 10 gigawatts of AI data centers powered by Nvidia systems, equivalent to millions of Graphics Processing Units for the next generation AI infrastructure, the firm said in a news release.
"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," said Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang.
OpenAI co-founder and CEO Sam Altman said it would advance so-called "compute infrastructure "-- the computing power and resources used to train and run machine learning -- that will fuel economic growth in years to come.
