Safe Superintelligence partners with Nvidia to scale its AI research
After two years in stealth mode, Safe Superintelligence (SSI), the AI startup founded by Ilya Sutskever, has announced a long-term partnership with Nvidia. The collaboration includes an undisclosed investment and access to Nvidia’s Vera Rubin GPU platform, expected to boost SSI's computing resources significantly. According to sources, the deal involves billions in funding from Nvidia, which aims to accelerate SSI’s growth following its recent research milestones. SSI is focused on developing a safe artificial superintelligence without commercial distractions or short-term revenue goals—a strategy that stands out amid growing concerns about AI safety and alignment. The partnership also includes joint efforts between SSI and Nvidia to advance future compute platforms, leveraging the startup's unique insights into AI development. This collaboration marks a significant step for SSI as it emerges from its quiet founding phase. Sutskever is known for his foundational work in deep learning with AlexNet and has previously led OpenAI’s Superalignment team before leaving due to internal disagreements.
