Amazon might drop a massive ten billion dollars into OpenAI. These early talks could push OpenAI's valuation past the five-hundred-billion mark. The deal would tie the AI firm closer to Amazon's cloud division, likely requiring increased use of Amazon's own AI chips over competitors like Nvidia.
This potential investment builds on an existing partnership where OpenAI committed to spending billions on Amazon Web Services. It also follows other huge infrastructure deals OpenAI has signed with Nvidia and Oracle recently. For Amazon, a stake secures a key relationship in the AI arms race and promotes its custom hardware.
OpenAI, which restructured earlier this year to ease fundraising, is also reportedly eyeing a future public offering. The move highlights how cloud providers are battling to lock down partnerships with the companies driving unprecedented demand for computing power.
