OpenAI has committed to buying billions of dollars worth of compute from AWS—the latest in a string of major deals brokered by the AI startup. www.wired.com/story/openai...

The deal is yet another sign of the AI industry becoming increasingly entangled, with OpenAI now at the center of major partnerships with industry players including Google, Oracle, Nvidia, and AMD. www.wired.com/story/openai...

One analyst says that OpenAI’s strategy is to limit its dependence on any one cloud provider. “OpenAI is deploying with pretty much everybody at this point." www.wired.com/story/openai...

But many now worry that the race to build ever-more infrastructure—and the unusual financial agreements behind the deals—are a sign of an AI bubble. www.wired.com/story/openai...
