Nvidia will make a $5 billion equity investment in Safe Superintelligence as part of a strategic partnership between the chipmaker and the startup co-founded by OpenAI's former chief scientist Ilya Sutskever, a person briefed on the deal said. The two companies announced the deal Monday morning without disclosing financial terms. The funding will boost SSI's available computing resources, the companies said. The deal also gives SSI access to Nvidia's cutting-edge Vera Rubin hardware.
