- OpenAI adds Broadcom to its growing list of chip and cloud partners
- Existing collaborations with Nvidia, AMD and Microsoft continue to anchor its AI infrastructure
- New image depicts trillion-dollar network uniting OpenAI technology partners
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently discussed the future of artificial intelligence with Peng Xiao of the G42, covering topics ranging from infrastructure and chip design to global cooperation.
The session at GITEX Global 2025 in Dubai addressed Stargate UAE, which OpenAI is developing in partnership with G42 as the first international site in its global infrastructure project.
Peng spoke about the importance of collaboration, saying, “No company or individual can do this alone, and that is why we are here sharing the stage with Sam as an equal partner.”
More than $1 billion in combined deals
OpenAI has rapidly expanded its network of industry partners in recent times, including striking massive deals with Nvidia, AMD and, most recently announced, Broadcom.
Under its most recent agreement, OpenAI will design custom chips with Broadcom, deploying enough processors to consume 10 gigawatts of electricity in the second half of next year.
“Partnering with Broadcom is a critical step in building the infrastructure needed to unlock the potential of AI and deliver real benefits for people and businesses,” Altman said.
“The development of our own accelerators adds to the broader ecosystem of partners creating the capacity needed to push the frontier of AI and deliver benefits to all of humanity.”
Broadcom President and CEO Hock Tan enthused: “Broadcom’s collaboration with OpenAI marks a pivotal moment in the pursuit of artificial general intelligence. OpenAI has been at the forefront of the AI revolution since ChatGPT, and we are delighted to co-develop and deploy 10 gigawatts of next-generation accelerators and networking systems to pave the way for the future of AI.”
The scale of OpenAI’s expanding infrastructure network was revealed in an image shared on X by StockMarket.News.
Described as “the most expensive AI infrastructure network in history,” this adds up to more than $1 trillion in combined deals.
Thread X highlighted Stargate, a $500 billion public-private project involving the US government, Oracle, and SoftBank; Nvidia’s $100 billion supply deal for tens of thousands of GPUs; Microsoft’s $13 billion partnership with Azure; and the role of AMD, which could also reach $100 billion for 6 gigawatts of next-generation chips.
StockMarket.News described OpenAI’s strategy as “circular financing,” where GPU vendors fund OpenAI, OpenAI drives demand, and vendors make profits in return.
He said OpenAI now manages every layer of the AI supply chain, from chips to cloud infrastructure and power.
The outlet noted that OpenAI’s valuation has surpassed $500 billion, tying its growth to nearly $3 trillion in expected data center spending through 2028, with $800 billion financed through private credit.
However, the post ended with an important question: “How long can this model last before the money runs out?”
This is WILD: OpenAI just built the most expensive AI infrastructure network in history. Over 1 TRILLION dollars in total deals. All major chipmakers, cloud providers and even the US government are now tied to it. (a thread) pic.twitter.com/gA1PsGsew0October 13, 2025
