Nvidia has hired Chris Malone, OpenAI’s former head of data center operations, as vice president of its DSX Platform, with an effective start date of September 24, 2026. Malone left OpenAI in August 2026 following a major restructuring of the infrastructure division, during which his responsibilities were distributed among several leaders including Sachin Katti. This recruitment comes as OpenAI is experiencing a significant executive exodus, including Brad Lightcap and Fidji Simo, signaling a strategic pivot toward partnerships rather than building proprietary infrastructure. Nvidia’s DSX platform, launched on May 31, 2026, is a reference design ecosystem that optimizes AI performance in data centers, with features like DSX MaxLPS enabling up to 40% more GPUs to operate at peak efficiency. Major hardware manufacturers including Dell, HPE, Lenovo, and Supermicro are already developing DSX-compatible systems.
