NVIDIA Partners with Blackstone and 贝莱德 on $500B AI Financing Deal

NVIDIA secures $500 billion financing partnership with Apollo, Blackstone, and 贝莱德 for AI infrastructure, aligning with prior OpenAI data center talks.

Woofun AI reports that NVIDIA has entered into a $500 billion AI financing agreement with Apollo, Blackstone, and BlackRock. This development follows earlier disclosures of discussions between NVIDIA and OpenAI regarding a data center in southern Ohio, valued at approximately $500 billion. The facility aims for a maximum power capacity of 10GW, potentially establishing it as the world's largest data center project. Reports indicate NVIDIA may provide OpenAI with roughly $250 billion to lease facilities developed by SoftBank's energy subsidiary, SBEnergy. The total project cost is estimated to exceed $500 billion, with up to $350 billion allocated for AI chip purchases. Phase one completion is targeted for 2028, featuring an initial power capacity of around 800MW.
