OpenAI前首席科学家Ilya Sutskever创办的人工智能公司Safe Superintelligence(SSI)与英伟达宣布建立长期战略合作关系[1]。根据该协议,英伟达将向SSI投资50亿美元[1],同时承诺大幅扩展其GPU计算资源,使SSI的算力规模在未来12个月内增长10倍[1]。英伟达首席执行官黄仁勋在合作声明中表示,"以提出AlexNet神经网络为开端,Ilya在现代AI的基础技术上取得多项开创性突破"[1]。
SSI成立于2024年6月,致力于开发安全的人工智能系统[1]。此次英伟达投资前,该公司已筹集总计70亿美元资金[1],包括2024年9月获得的10亿美元首轮融资(当时公司估值达50亿美元)和2025年3月完成的20亿美元新一轮融资[1]。目前SSI拥有33名员工,分布在美国加利福尼亚州和以色列特拉维夫[1],公司尚未产生收入,不打算在近期销售AI产品[1]。
Nvidia announced a major long-term strategic partnership with Safe Superintelligence (SSI), the AI safety company founded by former OpenAI Chief Scientist Ilya Sutskever, involving a $5 billion investment commitment [1]. Under the collaboration, Nvidia will significantly expand SSI's computational capacity, enabling a tenfold increase in computing power over the next 12 months [1].
The investment represents a major vote of confidence in SSI's mission to develop safe AI systems. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang praised Sutskever's contributions to modern AI, stating: "Beginning with his pioneering work on the AlexNet neural network, Ilya has made multiple groundbreaking breakthroughs in the foundational technologies of contemporary AI" [1]. Prior to this Nvidia deal, SSI had already raised $7 billion in total funding, including a $1 billion Series A round completed in September 2024 that valued the company at $5 billion, and a subsequent $2 billion financing round concluded in March 2025 [1].
Founded in June 2024, SSI operates with a lean team of 33 employees distributed across California and Tel Aviv, Israel [1]. The company has not yet generated revenue and does not plan to commercialize AI products in the near term, focusing instead on the development and safety of advanced AI systems [1].
