SSI — helmed by Sutskever, who was a co-founder of OpenAI and famously clashed with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman — announced a “long-term strategic partnership” with Nvidia with a reported investment of $5 billion, which will allow the company “10x our compute in the next 12 months.” The company wrote on X, “We reached the point where our research is worth scaling.” [Link: SSI Inc.

Nvidia has taken a substantial stake in Safe Superintelligence, a lab with no product. SSI says the money lets it 10x compute within 12 months.

Safe Superintelligence Inc. partners with Nvidia to scale compute capacity 10x within a year, deepening ties after a $32 billion funding round.
