Tech's past and future walk into a San Francisco cafe. That's the conceit behind a new video starring legendary Apple designer Jony Ive and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who on Wednesday announced a $6.5 billion deal that will see the ChatGPT-maker gobble up Ive's nascent device startup.
The two have previously teamed up, with OpenAI signing an $11.9bn deal with CoreWeave to use its compute capacity. That deal was not included in CoreWeave's remaining performance obligation (RPO) number, which currently stands at $25.9 billion. It is unclear if the latest $4 billion deal was included.
