The deal is expected to close in the first half of 2026, the companies said on Wednesday.

Here is a list of multi-billion dollar AI, cloud and chip deals signed recently:

AMD AND OPENAI

AMD agreed to supply artificial intelligence chips to OpenAI in a multi-year deal that would also give the ChatGPT creator the option to buy up to roughly 10% of the chipmaker.

NVIDIA AND OPENAI

Nvidia ( NVDA ) is set to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI and supply it with data center chips, in a deal giving the chipmaker a financial stake in OpenAI. OpenAI is already an important customer for Nvidia ( NVDA ).

META AND COREWEAVE

CoreWeave ( CRWV ) has signed a $14 billion agreement with Meta to supply computing power to the Facebook parent.

NVIDIA AND INTEL

Oracle is reported to have signed one of the biggest cloud deals ever with OpenAI, under which the ChatGPT maker is expected to buy $300 billion in computing power from the company for about five years.

COREWEAVE AND NVIDIA

CoreWeave ( CRWV ) signed a $6.3 billion initial order with backer Nvidia ( NVDA ), a deal that guarantees that the AI chipmaker will purchase any cloud capacity not sold to customers.

NEBIUS GROUP AND MICROSOFT

Nebius Group ( NBIS ) will provide Microsoft ( MSFT ) with GPU infrastructure capacity in a deal worth $17.4 billion over a five-year term.

META AND GOOGLE

Google struck a six-year cloud computing deal with Meta Platforms ( META ) worth more than $10 billion, Reuters had reported in August.

INTEL AND SOFTBANK GROUP

TESLA AND SAMSUNG

Tesla signed a $16.5 billion deal to source chips from Samsung Electronics ( SSNLF ), with the EV maker's CEO Elon Musk saying that the South Korean tech giant's new chip factory in Texas would make Tesla's next-generation AI6 chip.

META AND SCALE AI

Meta took a 49% stake for about $14.3 billion in Scale AI and brought in its 28-year-old CEO, Alexandr Wang, to play a prominent role in the tech giant's artificial intelligence strategy.

GOOGLE AND WINDSURF

Google hired several key staff members from AI code generation startup Windsurf and will pay $2.4 billion in license fees as part of the deal to use some of Windsurf's technology under non-exclusive terms.

COREWEAVE AND OPENAI

CoreWeave ( CRWV ) signed a five-year contract worth $11.9 billion with OpenAI in March, before the Nvidia ( NVDA )-backed startup's IPO.

STARGATE DATACENTER PROJECT

Stargate is a joint venture between SoftBank, OpenAI and Oracle to build data centers. The project was announced in January by U.S. President Donald Trump, who said that the companies would invest up to $500 billion to fund infrastructure for artificial intelligence.

AMAZON AND ANTHROPIC

Amazon.com ( AMZN ) pumped $4 billion into OpenAI competitor Anthropic, doubling its investment in the firm known for its GenAI chatbot Claude.
