This park is developed by the energy subsidiary of SoftBank Group, with a planned total capacity of up to 10 gigawatts. If internal investments such as NVIDIA chips are included, the total project investment is expected to exceed $500 billion, potentially becoming one of the largest AI infrastructure projects in the world. The core of this deal lies in NVIDIA's unique role design. Since OpenAI is not yet publicly listed and has not achieved profitability, it lacks an investment-grade credit rating, making it difficult to obtain large-scale financing independently. NVIDIA will leverage its strong balance sheet to provide credit backing for OpenAI's lease payments and project financing, helping SoftBank's developers raise debt funding under more favorable conditions. This arrangement effectively upgrades NVIDIA from a traditional "chip supplier" to an "infrastructure financing guarantor," creating a new model for chip manufacturers to deeply engage in customer infrastructure financing. Additionally, sources reveal that NVIDIA is also discussing a potential independent chip procurement financing agreement with OpenAI that could reach up to $350 billion. Analysts point out that this "circular financing" model raises concerns about potential vulnerabilities in the industry—if market sentiment shifts or AI growth slows, the deeply intertwined supply chain will face challenges. The first phase of the project, with an estimated capacity of about 800 megawatts, is expected to be operational by 2028, while other tech giants like Microsoft and Google have also expressed interest in the park's computing power ### Related Stocks - [SFTBY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SFTBY.US.md) - [NVDA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDA.US.md) - [NVDX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDX.US.md) - [NVD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVD.US.md) - [NVDS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDS.US.md) - [NVDU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDU.US.md) - [NVDD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDD.US.md) - [NVDY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDY.US.md) - [NVDQ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDQ.US.md) - [NVDL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDL.US.md) - [NVDB.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDB.US.md) - [NVDG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDG.US.md) - [NVDO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDO.US.md) - [NVDW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDW.US.md) - [NVYY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVYY.US.md) - [NYYY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NYYY.US.md) - [DIPS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/DIPS.US.md) - [MAGX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MAGX.US.md) - [SMH.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SMH.US.md) - [SOXX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SOXX.US.md) - [SOXL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SOXL.US.md) - [SOXQ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SOXQ.US.md) - [XSD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/XSD.US.md) - [PSI.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/PSI.US.md) - [FTXL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/FTXL.US.md) - [07788.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/07788.HK.md) - [07388.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/07388.HK.md) - [09388.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/09388.HK.md) - [9984.JP](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/9984.JP.md) - [OpenAI.NA](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/OpenAI.NA.md) - [MSFT.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSFT.US.md) - [GOOGL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GOOGL.US.md) - [GOOG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GOOG.US.md) - [NVD.DE](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVD.DE.md) ## Related News & Research - [As Nvidia Discloses a 9.3% Stake in Nebius, Here’s How You Should Play NBIS Stock](https://longbridge.com/en/news/293504980.md) - [Nvidia supplier Wistron launches $700 million Texas factory for AI system production](https://longbridge.com/en/news/293413420.md) - [DeepSeek’s $71 Billion Boom Collides With an Awkward Nvidia Question](https://longbridge.com/en/news/293972328.md) - [SoftBank's $40 Billion OpenAI Loan Adds 21 New Lenders](https://longbridge.com/en/news/293974613.md) - [Nvidia forms industry alliance for open AI security after Hugging Face hack](https://longbridge.com/en/news/293916175.md)
