[OpenAI CEO Altman Seeks Global Financing and Compute Power Partners] OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is undertaking a global initiative to seek financing and supply chain partners to meet the company's growing demand for computational power. According to informed sources, Altman is exploring long-term, low-cost financing solutions with supply chain companies to support a multi-trillion-dollar infrastructure plan. Since late September, he has visited multiple locations in Asia, meeting with companies such as TSMC, Foxconn, Samsung, and SK Hynix, urging them to expand capacity and prioritize OpenAI's orders. Most of these companies are suppliers for NVIDIA. Additionally, Altman plans to visit the UAE to negotiate with local investors to raise funds for OpenAI's infrastructure expansion and R&D efforts.
