OpenAI in Talks with Amazon for $10 Billion Investment and Chip Partnership
Dec 17, 2025
OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, is in discussions with Amazon for a potential investment of at least $10 billion. Multiple reports confirm that the companies are also talking about OpenAI using Amazon's in-house AI chips as part of the deal.
The talks are still at an early stage, and the final amount of investment has not been set. If completed, this agreement could make OpenAI a key user of Amazon’s Trainium chips, which are designed for artificial intelligence work.
This partnership would strengthen the business ties between OpenAI and Amazon, one of the world's largest cloud computing providers. It could also help Amazon broaden its presence in the AI industry and compete with other chip makers.

OpenAI is a company known for creating artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT.
Why does OpenAI want to use Amazon’s chips?
Amazon’s chips, such as Trainium, are designed to handle artificial intelligence tasks efficiently, which can help OpenAI run and improve its AI models.
Is the $10 billion investment final?
No, the discussions are still in the early stages and the final investment amount has not been agreed upon.
