OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced a technological milestone on Friday, revealing the deployment of NVIDIA Corp.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) first full 8-rack GB200 NVL72 system on Microsoft Corp.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) Azure platform, marking a major advancement in the companies&#8217; strategic partnership.
What Happened: &#8220;First full 8-rack GB200 NVL72 now running in Azure for OpenAI—thank you Satya Nadella and Jensen [Huang]!,&#8221; Altman wrote on X.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">first full 8-rack GB200 NVL72 now running in azure for openai—thank you <a href="https://twitter.com/satyanadella?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@satyanadella</a> and jensen!
&mdash; Sam Altman (@sama) <a href="https://twitter.com/sama/status/1885191346916356371?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 31, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
The GB200 NVL72, known for delivering 30 times faster real-time large language model inference and enhanced AI training capabilities, represents the latest evolution in OpenAI&#8217;s infrastructure expansion. This deployment comes as Microsoft reported a 175% year-over-year surge in AI revenue and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43327008/microsofts-13-billion-run-rate-and-openai-azure-deal-spark-surge-in-enterprise-demand-for-ai-solutions-just-first-tranche-of-future-growth-potential">a $13 billion annual AI revenue run rate</a>.
large language model inference is&nbsp;the process by which LLMs use their training to generate human-like responses to user input.
The infrastructure upgrade arrives amid reports that SoftBank Group Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>) is in discussions to lead a massive $40 billion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/01/43374528/softbank-may-lead-openais-40-billion-funding-round-at-a-300-billion-valuation-despite-deepseek-disruption-report">funding round for OpenAI</a> at a potential $300 billion valuation. 
However, OpenAI faces challenges on the competitive front. The company recently alleged that Chinese AI startup DeepSeek <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43354099/openai-alleges-deepseek-used-proprietary-models-without-permission-as-microsoft-investigates-ai-secu">used its proprietary models without authorization</a>, leading to the blocking of suspected accounts for terms of service violations.

Why It Matters: This controversy emerged after DeepSeek claimed to have developed its R1 model for just $5.6 million using lower-end Nvidia chips.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella acknowledged DeepSeek&#8217;s &#8220;real innovations&#8221; during a recent earnings call but remained noncommittal about whether these developments mark a turning point <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/43327016/microsoft-ceo-satya-nadella-accepts-deepseek-ai-has-some-real-innovations-but-wont-say-if-they-mark-a-turning-point-for-ai-cost-reduction">for AI cost reduction</a>. 
Despite these challenges, OpenAI appears to be strengthening its partnership with Microsoft. Earlier this week, Altman <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43354099/openai-alleges-deepseek-used-proprietary-models-without-permission-as-microsoft-investigates-ai-secu">hinted at expanded collaboration</a>, stating on social media that the &#8220;next phase of the MSFT x OAI partnership is gonna be much better than anyone is ready for.&#8221; 
This aligns with Microsoft CFO Amy Hood&#8216;s recent statement that OpenAI&#8217;s Azure commitment represents just the &#8220;first tranche&#8221; of future growth potential.

Sam Altman Thanks Satya Nadella, Jensen Huang As OpenAI Deploys NVIDIA's GB200 On Microsoft Azure, Boosting Performance By 30X

As Mastercard Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MA#NYSE">MA</a>) surpassed analyst <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43345282/mastercard-q4-earnings-revenue-and-eps-beat-strong-growth-in-payments-and-cross-border-transactions">expectations</a> for the fourth quarter, it highlighted an important function that grew massively in 2024, securing the data of billions of users.
What Happened: Mastercard tokenized about four billion transactions per month in 2024, which was up 40 times over the past six years, said the company CEO Michael E Miebach during its earnings call.
Tokenization is a process that enhances security by replacing sensitive card data with tokens, reducing fraud risk. It also improves the customer experience by simplifying online checkout.
The CEO explained that Mastercard&#8217;s massive growth in tokenized transactions underscores its critical role in enabling secure and frictionless digital commerce, paving the way for a future of password-free and seamless payments.
&#8220;While the growth of token makes the ecosystem safer and more secure, we also benefit on the natural tailwind associated with the growth of token usage,&#8221; added Miebach.
Additionally, in response to an analyst, the CEO also highlighted that tokenization is a key component of Mastercard 2030 vision and has &#8220;tremendous opportunity&#8221;.
&#8220;We&#8217;ll be looking at other use cases and see what that can do for our company overall,&#8221; he added.

Why It Matters: Mastercard <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43345282/mastercard-q4-earnings-revenue-and-eps-beat-strong-growth-in-payments-and-cross-border-transactions">beat Q4</a> revenue and earnings expectations. Net revenue reached $7.49 billion as compared to the expected $7.39 billion, a 14% increase year-over-year). Adjusted earnings per share was at $3.82, as compared to the expected $3.69, a 20% rise.
Payment network revenue grew 13%, driven by increased gross dollar volume of 12%, cross-border volume of 20%, and switched transactions of 11%. The company forecasts low double-digit net revenue growth for both the first quarter and the full year 2025.

Price Action: Mastercard&#8217;s stock rose 3.14% on Thursday and advanced 0.29% to $567.66 per share in after-hours trading, whereas, the exchange-traded fund tracking S&amp;P 500, SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) was up 0.54% at $605.04.
Mastercard has a consensus ‘buy&#8217; with a price target of $542.84, according to the 34 analysts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MA/analyst-ratings">tracked by Benzinga</a>. The high target is $654, and the low is $424. Recent ratings by Piper Sandler, Citigroup, and Oppenheimer suggest a $587.67 target, implying a 3.53% upside.

Earnings Scheduled For January 31, 2025

President Donald Trump has resurfaced his old threat of imposing 100% tariffs on the BRICS nations via Truth Social, the social media platform owned by his company Trump Media &amp; Technology Group Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>). But this fund manager, while agreeing with his views asks how the will U.S. manage the production of essential goods.
What Happened: Trump, who had issued the 100% tariff threat earlier in December, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/24/12/42405749/bitcoin-far-more-of-a-threat-than-a-brics-reserve-currency-says-jeremy-siegel-find-it-curious-that-trump-championed-btc-at-100k">warned the BRICS nations again</a>, calling them &#8220;hostile,&#8221; for planning a combined BRICS currency.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/31031532/Screenshot-2025-01-31-at-1.45.23%E2%80%AFPM-1024x348.png" alt="" class="wp-image-759658" /></figure>
Aditya Sesh, founder and managing director of Basiz Fund&nbsp;Services, told <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/">Benzinga</a> that the U.S. is justified in using tariffs to protect the dollar&#8217;s strength and promote reciprocal trade, aiming to boost American exports and improve negotiating leverage for the country.
However, Sesh out that &#8220;Assuming 100% tariffs are imposed, how will the U.S. manage production from Slippers to Ships? Will American factories come up so quickly, and if so, at what cost? What about the inflationary impact of consumables in the U.S. when imports become expensive? It will also impact not just the American capital markets but also global capital markets.&#8221;
Trump announced Thursday that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/43353698/trump-slaps-25-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-loonie-peso-slide-oil-climbs">U.S. will implement a 25% tariff </a>on imports from Canada and Mexico, effective Saturday, Feb. 1. The decision comes in line with Trump&#8217;s pledge to impose tariffs, citing concerns over illegal immigration, trade imbalances, and fentanyl trafficking from Canada and Mexico.
BRICS, an intergovernmental organization, comprises nine countries including Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, and the United Arab Emirates.
Trump, in his post, drew a firm line, demanding a commitment from these nations to abandon such efforts. He also suggested these nations find &#8220;another sucker nation&#8221; to trade with, emphasizing the importance of access to the US economy.
The statement expresses confidence that the BRICS nations will be unsuccessful in their attempts to displace the dollar in international trade. It concludes with a stark warning: any country that attempts to challenge the dollar&#8217;s position should expect a severed trading relationship with the U.S.

Why It Matters: U.S. economists, back in December had questioned Trump&#8217;s views on this matter. Jeremy Siegel, in a <a href="http://-https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/24/12/42405749/bitcoin-far-more-of-a-threat-than-a-brics-reserve-currency-says-jeremy-siegel-find-it-curious-that-trump-championed-btc-at-100k">note </a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/24/12/42405749/bitcoin-far-more-of-a-threat-than-a-brics-reserve-currency-says-jeremy-siegel-find-it-curious-that-trump-championed-btc-at-100k">dated</a> Dec. 9, 2024, argued that Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) posed a greater threat to the dollar&#8217;s reserve currency status than any BRICS initiative.
A senior economist at WisdomTree and former professor at the University of Pennsylvania, Siegel <a href="https://resources.wisdomtree.com/weekly-siegel-commentary/archive-december-9-2024">said</a> that he finds it contradictory that Trump threatens BRICS nations with tariffs for seeking a new reserve currency, while simultaneously supporting Bitcoin, a similar alternative global currency.
Similarly, in his X post dated Dec. 4, Peter Schiff, who is the chief economist and global strategist at Europac.com said that Trump has &#8220;the relationship backwards&#8221; and the BRICS nations are at a disadvantage, exchanging valuable goods for U.S. fiat currency, which is subject to inflation. The U.S. receives tangible products it cannot produce domestically, while the BRICS nations receive currency that loses value, he added.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">You have the relationship backwards. The BRICS nations are the suckers for accepting our fiat currency for their real consumer goods. We get actual products that make our lives better, that we lack the capacity to produce ourselves. All they get in return is our inflation.
