- 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 outlines trillion-dollar network connecting OpenAI’s technology partners
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently discussed the future of artificial intelligence with G42’s Peng Xiao, covering topics ranging from infrastructure and chip design to global collaboration.
The session at GITEX Global 2025 in Dubai touched on Stargate UAE, which OpenAI is developing in collaboration with G42 as the first international site in its global infrastructure project.
Speaking about the importance of collaboration, Peng said, “No company and no individual can do this alone, and that’s why we’re here sharing the stage with Sam as a fair partner.”
More than $1 trillion in combined deals
OpenAI has expanded its network of industry partners rapidly in recent times, including making massive agreements with Nvidia, AMD and, most recently announced, Broadcom.
Under its latest deal, OpenAI will design custom chips with Broadcom and install 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 AI’s potential and deliver real benefits for people and businesses,” said Altman.
“Developing our own accelerators adds to the broader ecosystem of partners who are all building the capacity required to push the boundaries of AI to deliver benefits for all of humanity.”
Broadcom President and CEO Hock Tan enthused: “Broadcom’s collaboration with OpenAI marks a defining moment in the pursuit of artificial general intelligence. OpenAI has been at the forefront of the AI revolution since the ChatGPT moment, and we are excited to co-develop and deploy 10 next gigawatt systems for future network accelerators and pathways to network accelerators and future network accelerators. AI.”
The extent 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.
The X thread 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 Azure partnership; 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 profit in return.
It said OpenAI now controls every layer of the AI supply chain, from chips to cloud infrastructure and energy.
The business noted that OpenAI’s valuation has surpassed $500 billion, linking 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 has just assembled the most expensive AI infrastructure network in history. Over $1 TRILLION in total trades. All major chip makers, cloud providers and even the US government are now tied to it.(one thread) pic.twitter.com/gA1PsGsew013 October 2025
