Nvidia nears $250B OpenAI data center guarantee
NVIDIA is in talks to provide roughly $250 billion in guarantees to back OpenAI’s lease for capacity at a massive 10-gigawatt data center project in southern Ohio, a venture that could cost up to $500 billion and reshape AI infrastructure financing. The arrangement would position NVIDIA as a central financial architect of the AI ecosystem while ensuring a stable demand for its chips as OpenAI’s compute needs grow.
