OpenAI has signed a multi-year, strategic partnership deal worth $38 billion with Amazon Web Services (AWS).
The partnership will give the Sam Altman-led startup to AWS' compute comprising hundreds of thousands of state-of-the-art Nvidia GPUs, according to a joint statement.
“Scaling frontier AI requires massive, reliable compute," said Altman, co-founder and CEO, OpenAI.
“Our partnership with AWS strengthens the broad compute ecosystem that will power this next era and bring advanced AI to everyone," he added.
Matt Garman, CEO of AWS, noted that AWS's best-in-class infrastructure will serve as a backbone for their AI ambitions.
Earlier this year, in another partnership between the two, OpenAI open weight foundation models became available on Amazon Bedrock.
OpenAI's deal with Amazon is part of its larger goal to boost its computing power. It has also struck deals with chipmakers Nvidia, AMD and Broadcom while also announcing new data centre buildouts with Oracle and Softbank.
Last week, OpenAI said that it completed its recapitalization, allowing it to for a profit-corporation within a non-profit foundation. This allowed OpenAI to finalise an agreement with its investor Microsoft about the restructuring. The duo have had frictions as they competed with each other over certain products.
