Under the deal, the AI startup will get access to Nvidia’s newest AI infrastructure, increasing its compute capacity “by an order of magnitude.” Nvidia has also made a financial investment, which sources told Bloomberg is worth US$5 billion.

Talking point: Safe Superintelligence—which Canadian computer scientist Ilya Sutskever founded in June 2024 after leaving OpenAI—plans to build smarter-than-human AI in a single shot, without releasing any interim products along the way. Precisely how it plans to do that remains a closely guarded secret, but it will require a lot of compute. Nvidia seems to have seen enough to spend big on the startup.
