"OpenAI has entered into a multi-year strategic partnership with Amazon Web Services, enabling it to tap into the cloud services provider's infrastructure and compute resources as it ramps up its efforts to build artificial general intelligence (AGI). Valued at $38 billion, the deal will go into effect "immediately," according to a Monday blog post from AWS, and is expected to scale up over the next seven years."
"The partnership, announced less than a week after OpenAI finalized its structural transition into a nonprofit with a subsidiary for-profit arm, will give the company access to hundreds of thousands of Nvidia GB200 and GB300 semiconductors running on Amazon data clusters. The new organizational structure also means OpenAI has more leeway in its relationship with Microsoft, which, from 2019 to 2023, was its sole source of computing power. The revised agreement between the two companies now stipulates that OpenAI can partner with any cloud provider."
OpenAI entered a multi-year strategic partnership with Amazon Web Services valued at $38 billion, effective immediately and planned to scale over seven years. The agreement grants OpenAI access to Amazon data clusters and hundreds of thousands of Nvidia GB200 and GB300 semiconductors for model training and inference. OpenAI completed a structural transition into a nonprofit with a for-profit subsidiary shortly before the deal, enabling expanded cloud-provider relationships beyond its prior sole reliance on Microsoft from 2019 to 2023. Reports indicate additional cloud collaborations with Google. Amazon's stock reached all-time highs following the partnership announcement.
