Dubai: Nvidia will invest up to US$100 billion in the buildout of OpenAI data centres, Nvidia Founder and CEO Jensen Huang announced.
According to Emirates News Agency, Nvidia and OpenAI unveiled a letter of intent for what both companies described as a landmark artificial intelligence infrastructure project, pairing at least 10 gigawatts of Nvidia systems with the planned US$100 billion investment.
"This is the biggest AI infrastructure project in history," Huang said, adding the partnership was about moving AI "from the labs into the world," according to an interview-style post on Nvidia's corporate blog. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman highlighted Nvidia as the only partner capable of executing such a project, describing the infrastructure as essential for driving improvement.
The firms stated that the first gigawatt is targeted for the second half of 2026 on Nvidia's Vera Rubin platform. The partnership will utilize millions of Nvidia GPUs to train and run OpenAI's next generation of models. OpenAI noted its current service to more than 700 million weekly active users, underscoring the need to expand capacity with new models on the horizon.
