  • OpenAI plans to build and operate the facilities using Nvidia’s next‑generation chips, with the first center slated to begin service in the second half of 2026.
  • The companies plan to settle detailed terms within the coming weeks, and Bloomberg reported an initial $10 billion cash investment at contract in exchange for OpenAI equity.
