Because OpenAI lacks an investment-grade credit rating, Nvidia's balance sheet would backstop the lease and construction debt. A separate discussion covers up to $350 billion in chip purchase financing, putting the total project cost above $500 billion. Critics, including Michael Burry and tech commentator Ed Zitron, highlight the circular nature of the arrangement: a chip supplier underwriting its customer's ability to keep buying its own chips. Nvidia has already committed over $40 billion to AI equity positions, including ~$30 billion in OpenAI. The deal would give OpenAI its first owned compute infrastructure, reducing dependence on Microsoft, Amazon, and Oracle. The Ohio site is politically sensitive, with power controlled by the US government and funded partly through a Japan trade deal. No agreement has been signed and talks remain ongoing. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
