Conversation: The billion-dollar infrastructure deals powering the AI boom Crunch

A: Hey there! Did you hear about the big news in tech?
B: No, what's up?

A: It looks like there's a huge race going on to build the infrastructure for AI products. Nvidia says that around $3 trillion to $4 trillion will be spent on this by the end of the decade!

B: Wow, that's a lot of money! Who's spending it?

A: Big companies like Microsoft, Google, Oracle, and even Elon Musk's xAI are getting in on the action. Each one is investing big bucks to power their AI products.

B: That makes sense. I remember Microsoft invested a billion dollars in OpenAI back in 2019!

A: Yeah, that was a great deal for both sides. But recently, OpenAI announced it would use other cloud providers too. They still give Microsoft the right of first refusal though.

B: I see. So, what's the latest with Microsoft and OpenAI?

A: Well, Oracle just signed a $30 billion deal with OpenAI! That's more than their cloud revenues for the entire previous year! It looks like they'll be joining Google as one of OpenAI's hosting partners.

B: That's crazy! I wonder what this means for Microsoft?

A: Who knows, but the competition is heating up. Nvidia, the main supplier of GPUs for these data centers, just invested $100 billion in OpenAI and has deals with other big players too. It seems like everyone wants a piece of the AI pie!

B: Wow, that's some serious spending! I guess it'll be interesting to see how this all plays out.

A: Definitely! Let's keep an eye on it and chat again soon. 😊
