Nvidia in Talks to Guarantee $250 Billion Financing for OpenAI Data Center Project
Nvidia is reportedly negotiating to provide approximately $250 billion in financing guarantees to support OpenAI's lease of a 10-gigawatt data center project in southern Ohio, developed by SoftBank's energy subsidiary. The total project cost could exceed $500 billion, including Nvidia chips. The U.S. government controls the power supply, with Japan funding part of it under a recent trade deal. U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is involved in allocating power access, with other AI firms like Microsoft and Google also expressing interest. Nvidia's backing aims to improve financing terms for the project.
