Oracle's cloud services are playing a significant role in the growth of companies like OpenAI and Nvidia, contributing to substantial profits for Oracle's co-founder Larry Ellison. The strategic partnership and investments in artificial intelligence are driving this success, highlighting the increasing demand for cloud computing capabilities in the tech industry.

Oracle plans to spend approximately $40 billion on high-performance Nvidia chips to support OpenAI's new data center in Abilene, Texas. This initiative is part of the U.S. Stargate Project, aimed at enhancing the country's position in the competitive AI industry. The purchase will involve around 400,000 of Nvidia's GB200 chips, which Oracle will lease to OpenAI.
