The Information's TITV

Welcome everyone to The Information's TITV. My name is Akash Pasricha. It is Monday, August 17th. Today on the show, Nvidia is backing OpenAI and SB Energy's massive new Ohio data center with roughly $100 billion in guarantees. We'll unpack that deal and Nvidia's SB Energy investment with our Nvidia reporter shortly. We'll then unpack new reporting that we have on the Tesla Roadster.

And we're going to close out the show with a discussion on Dario Amodei's latest thoughts on AI regulation and the debate around AI centralization that has made waves on X for much of the weekend. It's going to be a great show, so let's get right on into it. Nvidia announced this morning it will provide a financial guarantee for the lease on a new Ohio data center that is expected to amount to 10 gigawatts of new power capacity.

The company also announced it will take a state in the data center developer, SB Energy. My colleagues Phoebe Liu, Valida Pau, and Ann Davis Vaughn had exclusive details about much of that investment over the weekend. I want to bring on Phoebe to walk us through what we need to know. Phoebe, welcome back to the show. Happy Monday. Happy Monday. Good to be here. Okay, so we are getting right to it this morning with a big deal that Nvidia has announced.

There was a lot in this press release, and of course, you and Valida and Ann reported many of these details over the weekend. What did they announce this morning? Let's start there. Yes, so Nvidia, OpenAI, and SB Energy basically announced that they've finalized the agreement for OpenAI to lease data center and power capacity that SB Energy is building, and that will house Nvidia hardware.
