"OpenAI has signed a $38bn (29bn) deal to use Amazon infrastructure to operate its artificial intelligence products, as part of a more than $1tn spending spree on computing power. The agreement with Amazon Web Services means OpenAI will be able to use AWS datacentres, and the Nvidia chips inside them, immediately. Last week, OpenAI's chief executive, Sam Altman, said his company had committed to spending $1.4tn on AI infrastructure,"
"amid concerns over the sustainability of the boom in using and building datacentres. These are the central nervous systems of AI tools such as ChatGPT. Scaling frontier AI requires massive, reliable compute, Altman said on Monday. Our partnership with AWS strengthens the broad compute ecosystem that will power this next era and bring advanced AI to everyone. OpenAI said the deal would give it access to hundreds of thousands of Nvidia graphics processors to train and run its AI models."
"Amazon plans to use the chips in data clusters that will power ChatGPT's responses and train OpenAI's next wave of models, the companies said. Matt Garman, the chief executive of AWS, said OpenAI continued to push the boundaries of what was possible and that Amazon's infrastructure would serve as a backbone for its ambitions. OpenAI is committed to developing 30 gigawatts of computing resources enough to power roughly 25 million US homes."
OpenAI has struck a $38bn deal with Amazon Web Services to use AWS datacentres and Nvidia chips immediately, part of over $1tn planned computing investment. The pact provides access to hundreds of thousands of Nvidia GPUs to train and run models and will deploy chips in clusters powering ChatGPT responses and future models. AWS executives described the infrastructure as a backbone for OpenAI's ambitions. OpenAI plans to develop 30 gigawatts of computing capacity. The company recently reorganised into a for-profit entity valued at $500bn, with Microsoft holding about 27% stake, while concerns remain about funding the vast infrastructure spend.
