Semafor reports that Nvidia is backing OpenAI's lease at a massive data center owned by SoftBank, providing a $250 billion credit enhancement. This allows OpenAI, which lacks an investment-grade credit rating, to secure the lease by leveraging Nvidia's balance sheet. The arrangement underscores the financial engineering behind AI infrastructure buildout and ties Nvidia's fortunes directly to OpenAI's compute spending. What the sources said: - Semafor: "Nvidia’s $250 billion backstop to OpenAI will let the money-burning AI lab lease space at the largest data center ever built." (source) - Semafor: "It’s classic credit-enhancement, taking a risky thing and wrapping it in something safer." (source)
