OpenAI and NVIDIA Announce Strategic Partnership to Deploy 10 Gigawatts of NVIDIA Systems

- Strategic partnership enables OpenAI to build and deploy at least 10 gigawatts of AI data centers with NVIDIA systems representing millions of GPUs for OpenAI’s next-generation AI infrastructure.

- To support the partnership, NVIDIA intends to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI progressively as each gigawatt is deployed.

- The first gigawatt of NVIDIA systems will be deployed in the second half of 2026 on the NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform.

OpenAI and NVIDIA today announced a letter of intent for a landmark strategic partnership to deploy at least 10 gigawatts of NVIDIA systems for OpenAI’s next-generation AI infrastructure to train and run its next generation of models on the path to deploying superintelligence. To support this deployment including data center and power capacity, NVIDIA intends to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI as the new NVIDIA systems are deployed. The first phase is targeted to come online in the second half of 2026 using the NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform.

“NVIDIA and OpenAI have pushed each other for a decade, from the first DGX supercomputer to the breakthrough of ChatGPT,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “This investment and infrastructure partnership mark the next leap forward — deploying 10 gigawatts to power the next era of intelligence.”

“Everything starts with compute,” said Sam Altman, cofounder and CEO of OpenAI. “Compute infrastructure will be the basis for the economy of the future, and we will utilize what we’re building with NVIDIA to both create new AI breakthroughs and empower people and businesses with them at scale.”

“We’ve been working closely with NVIDIA since the early days of OpenAI,” said Greg Brockman, cofounder and president of OpenAI. “We’ve utilized their platform to create AI systems that hundreds of millions of people use every day. We’re excited to deploy 10 gigawatts of compute with NVIDIA to push back the frontier of intelligence and scale the benefits of this technology to everyone.”

OpenAI will work with NVIDIA as a preferred strategic compute and networking partner for its AI factory growth plans. OpenAI and NVIDIA will work together to co-optimize their roadmaps for OpenAI’s model and infrastructure software and NVIDIA’s hardware and software.

This partnership complements the deep work OpenAI and NVIDIA are already doing with a broad network of collaborators, including Microsoft, Oracle, SoftBank and Stargate partners, focused on building the world’s most advanced AI infrastructure.

OpenAI has grown to over 700 million weekly active users and strong adoption across global enterprises, small businesses and developers. This partnership will help OpenAI advance its mission to build artificial general intelligence that benefits all of humanity.

NVIDIA and OpenAI look forward to finalizing the details of this new phase of strategic partnership in the coming weeks.

Headline

OpenAI and NVIDIA Announce Strategic Partnership to Deploy 10 Gigawatts of NVIDIA Systems

A specific unit, 10 gigawatts, stands in for scale instead of a vague word like massive or historic.

Lead paragraph

OpenAI and NVIDIA today announced a letter of intent for a landmark strategic partnership to deploy at least 10 gigawatts of NVIDIA systems for OpenAI's next-generation AI infrastructure. NVIDIA intends to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI as the new NVIDIA systems are deployed.

The lead states the investment ceiling and the technical commitment in the same two sentences, giving both the money and the mechanics at once.

Quote

NVIDIA and OpenAI have pushed each other for a decade, from the first DGX supercomputer to the breakthrough of ChatGPT. This investment and infrastructure partnership mark the next leap forward — deploying 10 gigawatts to power the next era of intelligence. (Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA)

The CEO's quote points back to a specific past product, the first DGX supercomputer, to root a new deal in a decade of shared history.

OpenAI's CEO explains the strategic logic of the deal rather than repeating NVIDIA's history angle, giving the two quotes different jobs.

Each passage above is quoted from the release; the note under it is this site's reading.

Why it works

  1. The headline uses a specific unit, 10 gigawatts, instead of a vague adjective like massive, giving the reader a number to anchor the scale of the deal.
  2. The lead states the investment ceiling, up to $100 billion, and the delivery mechanism, deployed as systems come online, in the same two sentences.
  3. Both CEOs are quoted and each does different work, Huang roots the deal in a decade of shared product history while Altman explains the forward-looking business logic.
  4. A third quote from OpenAI's president, Greg Brockman, adds a third voice on user scale, citing 700 million weekly active users, without repeating either CEO's point.
  5. The release names a firm delivery date, the second half of 2026, and the specific hardware platform, NVIDIA Vera Rubin, instead of leaving the timeline vague.
  6. The body places this deal inside a wider network of named partners, including Microsoft, Oracle and SoftBank, showing readers how the new partnership fits an existing map of alliances.
