CoreWeave, the Livingston-based AI Hyperscaler, has significantly strengthened its partnership with OpenAI through an expanded agreement worth up to $6.5 billion. This latest deal brings the total contract value between the two companies to a massive $22.4 billion, cementing CoreWeave’s status as a critical infrastructure provider for the world’s most demanding artificial intelligence workloads.
The expanded contract, announced today, will see CoreWeave continue to power the training of OpenAI’s most advanced next-generation models. This builds upon an initial agreement announced in March 2025, valued up to $11.9 billion, and a subsequent expansion in May 2025 worth up to $4 billion.
Michael Intrator, co-founder, chairman, and chief executive officer of CoreWeave, hailed the milestone. “We are proud to expand our relationship with OpenAI, a company consistently at the forefront of advancing artificial intelligence,” said Intrator. “This milestone affirms the trust that world-leading innovators have in CoreWeave’s ability to power the most demanding inference and training workloads at an unmatched pace.”
OpenAI acknowledged CoreWeave’s essential role in its mission. Peter Hoeschele, VP of Infrastructure and Industrial Compute at OpenAI, commented, “CoreWeave has become an important partner in OpenAI’s broader infrastructure platform. By delivering compute at unmatched speed and scale, they’re helping us advance the frontier of intelligence and ensure AI’s benefits reach everyone.”
The new agreement is the latest in a series of milestones underscoring CoreWeave’s central position in the rapidly evolving AI landscape. Earlier this month, the company announced a commitment aimed at fueling AI innovation and growth in the United Kingdom. Furthermore, CoreWeave recently launched CoreWeave Ventures, a new initiative dedicated to backing founders who are developing the platforms and technologies that will shape the AI ecosystem.
