OpenAI Signs $38bn Multi-year Cloud Deal with AWS

OpenAI has signed a $38 billion seven-year agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS) which will see the generative AI giant run its workloads on AWS infrastructure. Under the terms of the deal, OpenAI will have access to “hundreds of thousands” of Nvidia GB200s and GB300s via Amazon EC2 UltraServers, with the ability to also expand access to tens of millions of CPUs.

Commenting on the deal with AWS, OpenAI co-founder and CEO Sam Altman said: “Scaling frontier AI requires massive, reliable compute. Our partnership with AWS strengthens the broad compute ecosystem that will power this next era and bring advanced AI to everyone.”

“As OpenAI continues to push the boundaries of what's possible, AWS's best-in-class infrastructure will serve as a backbone for their AI ambitions. The breadth and immediate availability of optimized compute demonstrates why AWS is uniquely positioned to support OpenAI's vast AI workloads,” said Matt Garman, CEO of AWS.
