Safe Superintelligence and NVIDIA partner, saying SSI's compute will grow by an order of magnitude
SSI and NVIDIA said on 27 July they signed a long-term partnership with money from NVIDIA. They say SSI's compute will grow by an order of magnitude.
On 27 July 2026 Safe Superintelligence (SSI) and NVIDIA announced a long-term partnership. NVIDIA has also put money into SSI. The joint release says Money from NVIDIA plus access to its Vera Rubin platform will let SSI increase its compute by an order of magnitude. The amount, chip count and timing are not given. We file this because it is a company-confirmed deal that changes SSI's computing capacity. How we read it: a research lab has lined up a large block of future compute from a supplier that is now also a backer, with its size undisclosed. What would change this: a delay in the Vera Rubin deliveries. Why it matters to you: it shows how much computing power even a research-focused lab needs to compete.
What this doesn't prove
Joint company release. 'An order of magnitude' is the companies' own wording, not our math. The amount of money from NVIDIA, the chip count and the timing are not disclosed.
