The government plans to allocate 4 billion euros to a gigafactory for artificial intelligence that will be located between Madrid and Catalonia, thus boosting national technological development. On the other hand, OpenAI, under the leadership of Sam Altman, has closed a strategic agreement with the semiconductor company Cerebras to enhance the speed and capacity of ChatGPT. According to The Wall Street Journal, the collaboration is valued at around 10 billion dollars and will allow OpenAI to access 750 megawatts of computational power starting in 2026, making this infrastructure the largest high-speed AI inference facility in the world, according to a statement from Cerebras reported by Efe. The main goal is to integrate Cerebras technology into OpenAI's infrastructure to reduce latency and provide faster, more natural responses in its AI systems. Sachin Katti, head of computing infrastructure at OpenAI, states that this will enable smoother interactions and lay the groundwork for scaling AI in real-time to a much broader audience. The integration of Cerebras' capabilities will be carried out gradually until 2028. Both companies have collaborated since 2017, sharing research and anticipating the convergence between AI model development and the evolution of the hardware needed to support them. Now, they assert, that moment has arrived. This agreement adds to other recent moves in the sector, such as the investment announced by Nvidia, which plans to allocate up to 100 billion dollars to OpenAI for the construction of infrastructure and data centers with an energy capacity of at least 10 gigawatts, in response to the growing demand for high-energy-consuming AI tools.
