OpenAI adds Broadcom to its growing list of chip and cloud partnersExisting collaborations with Nvidia, AMD, and Microsoft continue to anchor its AI infrastructureNew image outlines trillion-dollar network linking OpenAI\u2019s tech partners<\/p>\n
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently discussed the future of artificial intelligence with G42\u2019s Peng Xiao, covering topics ranging from infrastructure and chip design to global cooperation.<\/p>\n
The session at GITEX Global 2025 in Dubai touched on Stargate UAE, which OpenAI is developing in partnership with G42 as the first international site in its global infrastructure project.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n Peng spoke about the importance of collaboration, saying, \u201cNo company and no individual can do this alone, and that\u2019s why we\u2019re here sharing the stage with Sam as an equitable partner.\u201d<\/p>\n More than $1 trillion in combined deals<\/p>\n OpenAI has expanded its network of industry partners rapidly in recent times, including making massive deals with Nvidia<\/a>, AMD<\/a>, and, most recently announced, Broadcom.<\/p>\n Under its newest agreement, OpenAI will design custom chips with Broadcom, deploying enough processors to consume 10 gigawatts of electricity in the second half of next year.<\/p>\n \u201cPartnering with Broadcom is a critical step in building the infrastructure needed to unlock AI\u2019s potential and deliver real benefits for people and businesses,” Altman said.<\/p>\n \u201cDeveloping our own accelerators adds to the broader ecosystem of partners all building the capacity required to push the frontier of AI to provide benefits to all humanity.\u201d<\/p>\n Broadcom\u2019s president and CEO, Hock Tan, enthused, \u201cBroadcom\u2019s collaboration with OpenAI signifies a pivotal moment in the pursuit of artificial general intelligence. OpenAI has been in the forefront of the AI revolution since the ChatGPT moment, and we are thrilled to co-develop and deploy 10 gigawatts of next-generation accelerators and network systems to pave the way for the future of AI.\u201d<\/p>\n The scale of OpenAI\u2019s expanding infrastructure network was revealed in an image shared on X by StockMarket.News<\/a>.<\/p>\n Described as \u201cthe most expensive AI infrastructure network in history,\u201d this adds up to more than $1 trillion in combined deals.<\/p>\n The X thread highlighted Stargate, a $500 billion public-private project involving the U.S. government, Oracle, and SoftBank; Nvidia\u2019s $100 billion supply deal<\/a> for tens of thousands of GPUs; Microsoft<\/a>\u2019s $13 billion Azure partnership; and AMD\u2019s role<\/a>, which could also reach $100 billion for 6 gigawatts of next-generation chips.<\/p>\n StockMarket.News described OpenAI\u2019s strategy as \u201ccircular financing,\u201d where GPU vendors fund OpenAI, OpenAI drives demand, and vendors profit in return.<\/p>\n It said OpenAI now manages every layer of the AI supply chain, from chips to cloud infrastructure and energy.<\/p>\n The outlet noted OpenAI\u2019s valuation has surpassed $500 billion, linking its growth to nearly $3 trillion in expected data center spending through 2028, with $800 billion financed through private credit.<\/p>\n The post ended with an important question though: \u201cHow long can this model last before the money runs thin?\u201d<\/p>\n This is WILD:OpenAI just assembled the most expensive AI infrastructure network in history.Over $1 TRILLION in total deals.Every major chipmaker, cloud provider, and even the U.S. government is now tied into it.(a thread) pic.twitter.com\/gA1PsGsew0October 13, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Follow TechRadar on Google News<\/a> and add us as a preferred source<\/a> to get our expert news, reviews, and opinion in your feeds.
