TL;DR
NVIDIA announced a strategic partnership to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI progressively as each gigawatt of compute is deployed.
NVIDIA announced a strategic partnership to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI progressively as each gigawatt of compute is deployed. The first gigawatt of NVIDIA systems will come online in the second half of 2026 on the Vera Rubin platform, making NVIDIA OpenAI's preferred strategic compute partner.

Key Points
Up to $100B NVIDIA investment tied to gigawatt deployment
First GW live H2 2026 on Vera Rubin platform
OpenAI co-optimizing roadmaps with NVIDIA hardware/software
Why It Matters
The largest compute contract in history locks in a decade of AI infrastructure dynamics — and makes OpenAI's compute moat structural, not negotiated.
