OpenAI CEO Sam Altman Affirms Strong Partnership with Nvidia, Dispelling Dissatisfaction Rumors

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, has publicly refuted claims that his company is unhappy with Nvidia's AI chips, emphasizing their strong working relationship and calling Nvidia's hardware the "best AI chips in the world." This statement follows reports suggesting OpenAI was exploring alternatives and that a substantial investment from Nvidia had stalled.

OpenAI senior executive Sachin Katti also reinforced Nvidia's crucial role in their compute infrastructure, despite expanding partnerships with other chipmakers.
