đš AI WARS UPDATE: OpenAI Ă Amazon
OpenAI is reportedly in advanced talks to raise up to $10B from Amazon, alongside a major infrastructure shift toward AWS custom AI chips (Inferentia / Trainium).
Why it matters
đĄ Strategic realignment: Deeper integration into AWS, reduced reliance on NVIDIA
⥠Compute independence: Dedicated chip capacity to scale beyond GPU bottlenecks
đ Cloud war escalation: Challenges Microsoftâs Azure-OpenAI axis and Googleâs TPU stack
Big picture:
This isnât just funding â itâs a foundational shift in AI infrastructure.
The race is no longer only about models.
Itâs about who controls the silicon.
