OpenAI CEO globally seeks financing and Computing Power partners

[OpenAI CEO Seeks Global Financing and Computing Power Partners] OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman has launched a global financing and supply chain initiative, seeking funding and manufacturing partners to help meet the startup's insatiable demand for computing power. Sources reveal that in order to ensure that OpenAI's massive, trillion-dollar infrastructure plan can secure long-term, low-cost supplies, Altman is exploring financing alternatives with supply chain partners. Since late September, the creator of ChatGPT has traveled to several places in Asia to accelerate global artificial intelligence chip manufacturing capabilities. He visited companies including TSMC, Foxconn, Samsung, and SK Hynix. Sam Altman urged these companies to expand their production capacity and prioritize OpenAI's orders. Many of these companies are suppliers for Nvidia (NVDA.O). Altman also plans to visit investors in the UAE to raise funds for OpenAI's infrastructure expansion and research. (The Wall Street Journal)
