OpenAI is reportedly in talks with Amazon about a major new partnership that could include a large investment and the use of Amazon’s artificial intelligence chips. The talks are still ongoing and the final terms have not been decided yet. However, the potential investment could be worth more than $10 billion, reports CNBC and The Information. If the deal completes, this would mark an important step for OpenAI as it looks to expand its funding sources and reduce dependence on a single partner.
SurveyThese talks come after OpenAI completed a major restructuring in October. At the same time, the company clearly explained how its long-standing partnership with Microsoft would work going forward. The change gave OpenAI more freedom to raise money from other investors and work with different technology partners.

Microsoft has already invested more than $13 billion in OpenAI. While Microsoft remains a key partner, OpenAI is now allowed to build some products with other companies and choose alternative providers.
Meanwhile, Amazon has been increasing its presence in the AI space. The company has invested at least $8 billion in Anthropic, a major competitor to OpenAI. Expanding its relationship with OpenAI could help Amazon strengthen its position in the fast-growing generative AI market. Other tech giants are making similar moves. Microsoft recently said it would invest up to $5 billion in Anthropic, while Nvidia plans to invest as much as $10 billion.
