Mira Murati's startup secured a multi-year deal with NVIDIA for at least 1 gigawatt of next-generation Vera Rubin chip-powered servers, plus an undisclosed equity investment.

The Murati + Weng + gigawatt NVIDIA compute combination is a serious new competitor entry. NVIDIA Blog | CNBC

$12,930,300,000. Not "about $13 billion." That exact figure is in Jensen Huang's September 3 post, and the precision is the first sign this is a signed agreement rather than the leak-stage reporting we got in late August. NVIDIA's blog frames the platform in the numbers that m...
