- Dec 16: Amazon.com Inc is in discussions to invest about $10 billion in OpenAI, with talks described as preliminary and confidential, sources said.
- OpenAI, led by Sam Altman, faces large compute commitments, including a $38 billion AWS deal and over $1.4 trillion in recent infrastructure commitments, prompting talks.
