Nvidia is investing approximately $5 billion in Safe Superintelligence (SSI), an AI startup founded by former OpenAI chief scientist Ilya Sutskever. The company, valued at $32 billion, has no commercial product or revenue but focuses on artificial superintelligence research.
SSI, established in 2024, will gain access to Nvidia’s next-generation Vera Rubin platform, which promises a tenfold increase in computing capacity. The startup emphasizes a direct approach to developing safe and aligned AI, prioritizing research over short-term commercialization.
The investment underscores growing investor confidence in AI research-driven ventures, despite their lack of traditional revenue streams. Nvidia and SSI stated the partnership aims to accelerate SSI’s research capabilities significantly.
