  • OpenAI signs $38B cloud computing deal with Amazon Web Services
    November 3, 2025, 1:42 PM EST. OpenAI has inked a $38B deal with Amazon Web Services to use AWS infrastructure and Nvidia GPUs to train and run its AI models, accelerating a broader push toward massive, reliable compute. The pact will provide OpenAI with access to hundreds of thousands of Nvidia accelerators housed in AWS datacentres, reinforcing its goal of 30 gigawatts of computing and a projected trillion-dollar-scale infrastructure spend. The agreement follows OpenAI's move to a for-profit corporate structure, with Microsoft holding a substantial stake. Analysts note the massive capital chase for datacentres-potentially trillions through 2028-and concern over how such compute will be financed. Other recent OpenAI deals, including a separate agreement with Oracle, underline the broad, corporate-backed race to power the next era of AI.
