Information from WSJ states that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is seeking to raise up to $7 trillion to enhance the global semiconductor supply. This source mentions that Altman has approached various investors, including 'giants' from the United Arab Emirates, to discuss an alliance between OpenAI and chip manufacturers, investors for GPU factories.

WSJ reports that Altman met with Sheikh Tahnoun bin Zayed al Nahyan (son of the UAE founder) to discuss the aforementioned project. The ultimate goal is to form an alliance leveraging OpenAI's AI advantage, chip developers' expertise, and investment capital to establish GPU factories. These factories will then be operated by chip developers.

Undoubtedly, GPUs are the powerhouse necessary to serve the development of AI technology. The advancements made by Nvidia or AMD in recent years serve as the clearest evidence of this. However, the development of AI and GPU supply over the past 2 years has been uneven. GPUs are consistently in short supply, which somewhat slows down the progress of AI advancement.

Altman himself recently reaffirmed the importance of GPUs, while also expressing hope that in 2024, there will be additional suppliers to alleviate the current scarcity.

In another post on X last week, Altman stated, 'We believe the world needs more AI infrastructure, more capabilities of fabs, energy sources, data centers, ... than we previously envisioned. Building large-scale infrastructure and a flexible supply chain plays a crucial role in enhancing economic competitiveness, and OpenAI can help with that.'

According to a recent report, OpenAI achieved $2 billion in revenue in the past year of 2023. This figure is remarkably noteworthy for a company founded just in 2015.
