The Wall Street Journal reports NVIDIA (NVDA.O) is investing in an AI lab
founded by OpenAI’s former chief scientist Ilya Sutskever. The long-term deal
reportedly involves a substantial, undisclosed investment and will give
Sutskever’s Safe Superintelligence extensive access to NVIDIA’s flagship
GPUs—enough to increase the startup’s compute by “an order of magnitude”—after
the firm had primarily relied on Google’s TPUs; the arrangement also helps
NVIDIA fend off competitors.
