Nvidia backs Ilya Sutskever's SSI in a long-term compute partnership
- SSI says Nvidia is making a large investment in the company and that the deal will help it expand compute by 10x over the next 12 months.
- The Wall Street Journal reports the partnership is part of Nvidia's broader effort to deepen relationships with major AI labs and expand its compute customer base.
- No financial terms were disclosed, but SSI will gain access to large amounts of Nvidia flagship GPUs.
- WSJ also says SSI had previously relied mainly on Google's TPU chips for compute.
- The article frames the deal in the context of Nvidia's growing influence across the AI stack, and notes a similar investment agreement it made earlier this year with Mira Murati's Thinking Machines Lab.
