Firmus, an Australia-based firm backed by Nvidia, has signed a multi-year deal with OpenAI to supply computing capacity from two Malaysian data centres. This makes OpenAI an anchor customer for Firmus as demand surges for infrastructure to run advanced AI models.
The deal raises Firmus' contracted capacity across customers to more than 900 megawatts. Firmus has a portfolio that includes two operational AI data centres in Australia and Singapore, with five more under development across Asia-Pacific.
