On December 17th, The Information reported, citing sources with inside knowledge, that OpenAI is currently engaged in discussions with Amazon regarding a substantial investment collaboration, potentially amounting to at least $10 billion. As part of this deal, OpenAI intends to leverage Amazon's AI chip, Trainium. This chip represents Amazon's foray into competing with Nvidia's AI accelerators. Should the negotiations culminate in a successful agreement, it will mark a significant win for Amazon, securing a new, high-profile customer for its Trainium chip.
