Nvidia to provide up to $105 billion guarantee for OpenAI's Ohio data center
Nvidia announced it will provide financing guarantees of up to $105 billion for OpenAI's massive Ohio data center project. The deal stands as one of the chipmaker's largest commitments yet in the race to build out AI infrastructure.
The company said the guarantee would allow OpenAI to significantly expand its Ohio data center capacity to meet surging demand for AI computing power. The deal builds on Nvidia's deepening financial ties with OpenAI in recent months.
Analysts say such large financing arrangements deepen the mutual dependence between AI firms and hardware suppliers. Nvidia's shares moved in pre-market trading following the news.
The deal's scale coincides with a period in which capital spending on AI infrastructure has reached record levels in 2026. Investors are closely watching how such commitments affect corporate balance sheets.
