OpenAI faces the challenge of spending over $1 trillion in the next five years to fulfill computing promises with Nvidia, Broadcom, and AMD, according to Citi analysts. These deals aim to deliver 26 gigawatts of computing capacity, nearly enough to power New York State during peak summer demand. Citi estimates that it takes $50 billion to bring one gigawatt online, projecting OpenAI’s capital expenditures to reach $1.3 trillion by 2030. CEO Sam Altman has even suggested deploying 250 gigawatts by 2033, costing a staggering $12.5 trillion. However, concerns over funding and infrastructure challenges loom, potentially impacting OpenAI’s ability to cash in on its spending. If successful, chipmakers like Nvidia and Broadcom could see substantial revenue boosts. 1.
