Nvidia pours billions into Ilya Sutskever's Safe Superintelligence
Nvidia just forged a massive multibillion-dollar partnership with Safe Superintelligence, the stealth lab founded by former OpenAI chief scientist Ilya Sutskever. The deal provides SSI with Nvidia's Vera Rubin GPU platform, boosting its compute power by an order of magnitude and phasing out Google TPUs. Why it matters: Nvidia is securing long-term loyalty from the most elite AI safety researchers, while Ilya bets that brute-force GPU scaling is still the true path forward.
