A Reuters-style report says Nvidia is discussing a backstop for roughly $250 billion in financing tied to OpenAI’s planned lease of a 10-gigawatt data center in southern Ohio.
The project is reportedly part of a SoftBank-developed buildout that could ultimately cost more than $500 billion and would become one of the largest AI computing hubs ever proposed. The photo attached to the post shows the headline framed around a government-controlled power context and the site-breaking ceremony with SoftBank and SB Energy branding.
