I'm Julie Chang for the Wall Street Journal, Nvidia has struck a deal with OpenAI. The chipmaker will invest up to $100 billion into OpenAI for a massive data center buildout. It'll allow OpenAI to build and deploy at least 10 gigawatts of Nvidia systems for its artificial intelligence data centers to train and run its next generation of models. The first phase is targeted to come online in 2H20. The companies say they'll finalize the details of their new partnership in the coming weeks. Citigroup says starting this month it'll begin piloting new agentic capabilities inside of the proprietary AI platform it's been developing over the last couple of years. Citi's CTO says the firm's internal platform uses a range of models, including Google's Gemini and Anthropic's Claude. With the new update, users will be able to direct an AI tool to complete multiple tasks, like researching clients and building profiles by accessing various company systems with a single prompt. The initial Pilot will span 5,000 users over four to six weeks. And Indian tech and IT stocks closed lower today as new US visa rules stoked concerns about rising costs. The Nifty IT index, a benchmark for India's tech sector, fell 2.9% after President Trump imposed a $100,000 fee on new H1B visas. That'll make hiring foreign talent more IT services provider emphasis was one of the biggest decliners, falling 4.6%. LTI Mindtree fell 4.5%.
