OpenAI signs a $38 billion deal with Amazon Web Services for cloud capacity, moving away from exclusive reliance on Microsoft. The partnership allows OpenAI to access Nvidia GPUs in the U.S. and expand globally, with Amazon’s stock increasing by 5 percent after the announcement.

AWS will build more infrastructure for OpenAI to support real-time inference for programs like ChatGPT and AI training, driving cutting-edge AI development. The collaboration marks OpenAI’s largest deal outside of Microsoft, allowing the company to work with other cloud providers such as Google and Oracle.

The agreement boosts AWS’s presence in the AI space and aligns with Amazon’s investments in AI startup Anthropic. OpenAI is diversifying its cloud partnerships in preparation for a potential IPO, showcasing its strategic approach to expanding alliances in the industry.
