OpenAI CEO Altman Negotiates Billion Dollar Investment

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is in talks for a billion dollar investment to establish an international network for artificial intelligence chip production through collaboration with leading global chip manufacturers (whose names have not yet been announced).
This investment aims to overcome key challenges in the development of artificial intelligence, such as the lack of high-performance processors for AI models such as ChatGPT and DALL-E.
From the current industry trends, the importance of developing and producing powerful chips for artificial intelligence models (such as ChatGPT or DALL-E) that can answer queries and create images is self-evident.

NVIDIA, with its popular H100 GPU, has almost monopolized the market and driven the company’s market value to exceed $1 trillion for the first time. Accelerators such as H100 are widely used to train advanced artificial intelligence models such as GPT-4, Gemini, and Llama 2.
With the intensification of competition for high-performance artificial intelligence chips, it is necessary to ensure the necessary production capacity as soon as possible. In this context, Altman and his team are in talks with investment giants such as SoftBank Group and G42 in Abu Dhabi to finance this large-scale project.
Not only OpenAI, but also other major companies in the IT industry, including Microsoft, Amazon, and Google, are actively developing their own artificial intelligence chips.
Microsoft is one of the investors in OpenAI and announced in November last year that it is developing its first proprietary artificial intelligence chip for training artificial intelligence models.
Amazon subsequently launched an upgraded version of its Training chip; Google’s chip design team uses DeepMind AI to design its AI processors, including Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), on Google Cloud servers.
