OpenAI is negotiating with Amazon for a potential investment that could exceed $10 billion, as confirmed by CNBC. These discussions are confidential and follow OpenAI's restructuring in October, which allowed it to have greater freedom in forming partnerships and raising capital. Previously, Microsoft held a significant role as OpenAI's main investor, with over $13 billion invested since 2019. However, Microsoft no longer has the right of first refusal on being OpenAI's compute provider, opening the door for other collaborations. Amazon has previously invested around $8 billion in Anthropic, a rival to OpenAI, signaling its interest in the generative AI space. As part of expanding its capabilities, Amazon Web Services (AWS) has been developing its AI chips since 2015, including its Inferentia and the latest Trainium chips designed for model training and computation. OpenAI has also committed over $1.4 trillion in infrastructure, including a recent $38 billion deal with AWS for cloud capacity, marking its first major contract with the leading cloud provider. In October, OpenAI completed a secondary share sale worth $6.6 billion, allowing employees to cash out at a high valuation of $500 billion. The intertwining of OpenAI's strategies with major tech players like Amazon and Microsoft highlights the competitive and rapidly evolving landscape of AI development and investment.
