OpenAI has now signed a whopping $38 billion multi-year contract with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to power and scale its artificial intelligence workloads over the next seven years. This is likely to be one of the biggest cloud partnerships in the AI space and indicates OpenAI’s growing infrastructure needs as it continues to advance the intelligence and capabilities of its models.
Under the deal, OpenAI will use AWS’s high-performance infrastructure, including hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GPUs and the ability to scale up to tens of millions of CPUs. The company will use this compute power to train and deploy its next-generation models and support agentic workloads, including those that run behind ChatGPT.
