OpenAI Raises $110B From SoftBank, NVIDIA, and Amazon to Scale AI Infrastructure

Feb 27, 2026 · Updated Apr 25, 2026

OpenAI announced $110B in new investment at a $730B pre-money valuation - $30B from SoftBank, $30B from NVIDIA, and $50B from Amazon. Alongside the capital, OpenAI secured a multi-year strategic partnership with Amazon for enterprise distribution and next-generation inference from NVIDIA: 3 GW dedicated inference capacity and 2 GW of Vera Rubin training systems.

OpenAI framed the round around three infrastructure needs: compute (NVIDIA), distribution (Amazon), and capital (SoftBank). The Amazon deal means OpenAI products reach enterprises through AWS. The NVIDIA expansion builds on Hopper and Blackwell systems already running across Microsoft, OCI, and CoreWeave.

The investment is built around real demand: 900M weekly active ChatGPT users, 50M consumer subscribers, and Codex weekly users tripling to 1.6M since January. This isn't speculative infrastructure — it's capacity for growth already happening.
