AWS to provide OpenAI with Amazon EC2 UltraServers, featuring hundreds of thousands of chips, and the ability to scale to tens of millions of CPUs for its advanced generative AI workloads.
AWS and OpenAI have entered a seven-year, $38 billion partnership in which OpenAI will use AWS infrastructure to run and scale its core AI workloads. OpenAI will gain access to AWS compute powered by large volumes of NVIDIA GPUs, with the option to scale to tens of millions of CPUs. AWS brings extensive experience in managing secure, reliable large-scale AI infrastructure, and combining this with OpenAI’s GenAI innovation will continue delivering value to ChatGPT users.
The growing demand for AI is driving massive need for computing power. To scale its next-generation models, OpenAI will use AWS’s high-performance, secure infrastructure, with most capacity deployed by the end of 2026 and room to expand beyond 2027. AWS is building optimized GPU clusters using NVIDIA GB200 and GB300 chips to deliver low-latency, high-efficiency AI processing. These clusters can support everything from training future models to running ChatGPT, giving OpenAI flexibility as its workloads grow.
“Scaling frontier AI requires massive, reliable compute,” said OpenAI Co-founder and CEO Sam Altman. “Our partnership with AWS strengthens the broad compute ecosystem that will power this next era and bring advanced AI to everyone.”
“As OpenAI continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible, AWS’s best-in-class infrastructure will serve as a backbone for their AI ambitions,” said Matt Garman, CEO of AWS. “The breadth and immediate availability of optimized compute demonstrates why AWS is uniquely positioned to support OpenAI’s vast AI workloads.”
This partnership builds on ongoing collaboration to make advanced AI more accessible. Earlier this year, OpenAI open weight foundation models became available on Amazon Bedrock, bringing these additional model options to millions of customers on AWS. OpenAI has quickly become one of the most popular publicly available model providers in Amazon Bedrock with thousands of customers—including Bystreet, Comscore, Peloton, Thomson Reuters, Triomics, and Verana Health—working with their models for agentic workflows, coding, scientific analysis, mathematical problem-solving, and more.
