💰 Amazon invests $10b in OpenAI - OpenAI would start using AWS Trainium
OpenAI is reportedly in talks for $10B+ from Amazon, at a valuation above $500B, and the kicker is strategic: OpenAI would start using AWS Trainium - giving Amazon a flagship “frontier” customer while OpenAI diversifies away from its Nvidia-heavy stack.
Why Amazon cares: It strengthens AWS vs Microsoft by tying OpenAI more tightly into AWS compute + chips.
By now, almost everyone has invested in OpenAI in some way. Whether it's NVIDIA or Microsoft, now Amazon, and so on. This makes OpenAI truly too big to fail.
