As OpenAI and NVIDIA land an AI deal, building the requisite infrastructure could be a historical breakthrough.
“There’s no partner but NVIDIA that can do this at this kind of scale, at this kind of speed,” chimes in Sam Altman, OpenAI’s Founder.
OpenAI’s mission has always been to build and deliver general intelligence to both businesses and individuals. A revolution that behaves as a bridge between the AI world and all of humanity. Altman’s vision for AI’s future is an optimistic one- it’ll connect all AI labs to the world, reaching a never-before-seen level of scale.
Cue in: OpenAI has struck a deal with NVIDIA to build and deploy 10 gigawatts, i.e., 3-4 million GPUs worth, of NVIDIA systems. They have signed a letter of intent to concretize this partnership, which will serve as a strategic path to superintelligence. As each gigawatt is deployed, NVIDIA will invest $100 billion into OpenAI.
This objective to build OpenAI’s next-gen infrastructure will also comprise NVIDIA’s Vera Rubin platform. With this alliance, NVIDIA is all geared up to be the AI powerhouse’s preferred networking partner and compute partner.
All the focus is on deployment, data center development, and power capacity. These components will become an integral part of the economy, says Altman. This project will only facilitate increasing AI use while decreasing the cost per unit of intelligence. On the positive side, it is already happening.
This is the need of the hour. The priority can’t just be training; AI companies must also prioritize inference. When there’s not enough computational power, there will always be a need to choose between finding a cancer cure and free education. And when no one wants to take that road, there’s only one solution-
Decoding maximum intellectual capacity- the ever-expanding frontier of AI.
This partnership will prove to be a breakthrough, paving the way forward. Especially to connect intelligence to every use case, device, and application. And Altman believes that NVIDIA is the partner that can deliver this mission.
With the involvement of the leading AI players, this project is the largest AI infrastructure initiative to date. Analysts believe that this alliance could generate revenue equivalent to $500 billion.
OpenAI and NVIDIA, the innovative collaborators, are laying the stepping stone. One that could accelerate the roadmap to a superintelligent future.
