As a result, the technology giant will provide OpenAI with Amazon EC2 UltraServers, featuring “hundreds of thousands of chips” and the ability to scale to tens of millions of CPUs for its advanced generative AI workloads.
Additionally, OpenAI will also have access to Nvidia GB200s and GB300s via the EC2 UltraServers.
OpenAI will immediately start using AWS compute as part of this partnership, with all capacity targeted to be deployed before the end of 2026, and the ability to expand further into 2027 and beyond.
OpenAI founder and CEO, Sam Altman, said: “Scaling frontier AI requires massive, reliable compute. Our partnership with AWS strengthens the broad compute ecosystem that will power this next era and bring advanced AI to everyone.”
AWS CEO Matt Garman, added: “As OpenAI continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible, AWS’s best-in-class infrastructure will serve as a backbone for their AI ambitions.
“The breadth and immediate availability of optimised compute demonstrates why AWS is uniquely positioned to support OpenAI’s vast AI workloads.”
