Nvidia-backed Firmus signs a deal with OpenAI to secure data center capacity in Malaysia, according to multiple reports. The agreement centers on providing compute resources for AI operations, tying Firmus’ infrastructure plans to OpenAI’s demand for model training and deployment.
Both outlets describe Firmus as backed by Nvidia and frame the transaction as an effort to expand AI capacity in Malaysia. While the available summaries do not detail financial terms, deal size, or specific timelines, the reporting consistently links the arrangement to data center infrastructure rather than a software or research-only partnership. The emphasis varies mainly in wording—one source highlights Firmus “landing” the OpenAI deal and the other describes it as Firmus “signing” the agreement for Malaysia capacity—but the core facts are the same.
Further specifics, such as delivery schedules, capacity figures, and whether the deal covers a full build-out or phased availability, are not provided in the excerpts.
