OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, has announced a $38 billion partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to strengthen its global artificial intelligence infrastructure. The seven-year agreement will give OpenAI access to advanced computing resources, including hundreds of thousands of Nvidia GPUs and tens of millions of CPUs, essential for scaling generative and agentic AI systems.
This partnership marks one of OpenAI’s largest infrastructure deals to date and adds to its growing list of major collaborations with technology giants such as Oracle, Broadcom, AMD, and Nvidia.
“Scaling frontier AI requires massive, reliable compute,” said Sam Altman, co-founder and CEO of OpenAI, in a joint statement. “Our partnership with AWS strengthens the broad compute ecosystem that will power this next era and bring advanced AI to everyone.”
Under the agreement, OpenAI will begin using AWS computing capacity immediately, with all resources expected to be fully utilised by the end of 2026. The deal also allows for future expansion as OpenAI continues to grow its computing needs.
The collaboration will provide OpenAI with critical infrastructure to support the development and deployment of its AI models, including those used in products like ChatGPT. It also builds upon existing cooperation between the two companies, as OpenAI’s open-source models are already hosted on Amazon’s cloud platform.
By some estimates, OpenAI has signed close to $1 trillion worth of infrastructure deals in 2025 alone. These include a $300 billion agreement with Oracle and a $500 billion Stargate project involving Oracle and SoftBank.
The latest deal follows OpenAI’s recent restructuring, which gives the company greater flexibility to pursue commercial growth while maintaining its commitment to responsible AI development. Despite expected revenues in the tens of billions this year, the company’s ongoing investments highlight the immense cost of computing power required to train and deploy cutting-edge AI models.
