The various recent partnerships involving OpenAI and Nvidia have been discussed at length by the entire internet as well as the stock market. Besides enhancing shareholder value, though, it's hard to say what the endgame of these large corporations is. The answer is a bit clearer after a CNBC interview, where OpenAI's President Greg Brockman talked up a future with agentic AI that works in your sleep — pointing out we'll need 10 billion GPUs or the equivalent thereof for the future he envisions.
The interview in question includes OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, and Brockman. The discussion goes back and forth, but Altman offers some perspective on pointing out that the scale of its partnership with Nvidia is larger than even the Apollo program that put mankind on the moon. He thinks of the future AI proverbial collective as a "superbrain", embedded in our daily lives.
