OpenAI super data center officially launched, Nvidia backed up to 105 billion US dollars

Comparative news, according to monitoring, OpenAI's Ohio Super Data Center officially signed a contract. This project was previously revealed. At the time, OpenAI was still discussing a long-term lease with SB Energy, and Nvidia was only considering providing a guarantee. Now that the first 4.25 GW has been officially launched, Nvidia can continue to lock in the remaining 3.75 GW. Previously, the two sides discussed guarantees of up to 250 billion US dollars, and in the end, the initial liability was limited to 105 billion US dollars. This isn't money given directly to OpenAI. Only if OpenAI goes bankrupt or doesn't pay rent, and there is still a gap after the project is re-leased or sold, will Nvidia need to make up the difference. After that, OpenAI will also have to pay back the money actually advanced by Nvidia. Nvidia will also invest $1.5 billion in developer SB Energy, and the park will mainly use Nvidia's AI computing power. Hwang In-hoon estimates that each generation of systems deployed here may correspond to about 1.5 million GPUs and 150 billion to 200 billion US dollars in revenue. Until now, outsiders have been questioning that this model is circular financing: Nvidia backs up the customer's infrastructure, and the customer then uses the money to buy Nvidia chips. Hwang In-hoon also specifically responded this time, stressing that Nvidia only bears specific rent, electricity, and asset residual value risks; it is not responsible for the entire project on behalf of OpenAI.
