WSJ reports Nvidia is discussing a roughly $250B backstop for OpenAI's data center buildout.
- The deal would support a massive AI data center project, making it one of the largest financial arrangements yet tied to the AI boom.
- Because the core story is about compute infrastructure economics and a huge financing structure, it fits infra first, with funding as a secondary angle.
- The report comes from the Wall Street Journal and is not an official announcement.
