OpenAI CEO J.C. Altman is on a global mission to secure partners for financing and manufacturing to support the company's growing demand for computing power. Altman has been traveling across Asia since late September, engaging with major tech manufacturers like TSMC, Foxconn, Samsung, and SK Hynix to boost AI chip production capacity. These companies, many of which supply Nvidia, are being urged to prioritize OpenAI's orders to support its multi-trillion-dollar infrastructure plans. In addition to manufacturing partnerships, Altman is also seeking investment from the United Arab Emirates to fund OpenAI's infrastructure expansion and research initiatives. This global campaign underscores OpenAI's strategic push to ensure a long-term, cost-effective supply chain for its AI technologies.
