Ilya Sutskever’s Safe Superintelligence partners with Nvidia to scale its AI research

After two years in stealth, Safe Superintelligence, the AI lab founded by former OpenAI co-founder and alignment lead Ilya Sutskever , has announced a long-term partnership with Nvidia as it prepares to scale to its next phase.

The deal, which includes an undisclosed investment, will give Safe Superintelligence (SSI) access to Nvidia’s Vera Rubin GPU platform, which is expected to increase the startup’s compute resources “by an order of magnitude.” The partnership comes as SSI has achieved significant research milestones, per Nvidia .

Nvidia’s investment stretches into multiple billions, a source familiar with the deal told TechCrunch.

Already an investor in SSI, the chipmaking giant said it signed this compute partnership to “accelerate SSI’s next stage of growth after obtaining rare access into the company’s closely guarded research.”
