Report: Nvidia may lease its chips to OpenAI as part of deal
Why buy when you can rent for cheaper? That’s the thinking behind a new report from The Information that says as part of its blockbuster $100 billion investment, Nvidia is in discussions with OpenAI to lease GPUs to the company as it races to build massive data centers as part of its Stargate plan.
According to The Information, leasing GPUs from Nvidia would effectively lower the cost by 10% to 15% and protect OpenAI from owning technology infrastructure that could soon become obsolete.
While OpenAI is pulling in serious revenue, it expects to burn through $115 billion by 2029, The Information reports. Leasing the costly GPUs the company needs would reduce the amount of money it would have to raise.
