JAKARTA - Not long ago, OpenAI announced that they were looking for additional investment of 100 billion US dollars (Rp. 1,679 trillion). It seems, Amazon is interested in investing.
The company that dominates in the cloud sector is in the stage of negotiations to invest funds worth 50 billion US dollars or around Rp. 840 trillion into OpenAI. The negotiations, reported by TechCrunch, were led directly by Amazon CEO, Andy Jassy.
It's no secret that OpenAI is trying to boost its valuation. If successful, the Artificial Intelligence (AI) company will reach 830 billion US dollars (Rp. 13,940 trillion).
In addition to Amazon, OpenAI is also reportedly in discussions with Nvidia, Microsoft, and SoftBank. The company led by Sam Altman is also discussing investment issues with state wealth funds in the Middle East.
If OpenAI accepts Amazon's investment, it will be a very unique partnership. This is because Amazon is often known as the main supporter of Anthropic, OpenAI's toughest competitor who developed Claude.
Amazon has even invested up to hundreds of trillion rupiah, reaching at least 8 billion US dollars (Rp. 134 trillion). The company also built a special data center for Anthropic's AI model.
If this agreement is reached, OpenAI will get cloud infrastructure support from Amazon. This support will certainly accelerate the development of the latest generation of more advanced AI technology.
This funding process is expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of this year. Although talks are still ongoing, neither Amazon nor OpenAI have made any official comments regarding the planned deal.
