When it comes to artificial intelligence (AI), perhaps no one commands more attention than Sam Altman, the CEO of ChatGPT maker OpenAI. On Nov. 3, OpenAI announced a headline-grabbing $38 billion partnership with e-commerce and cloud titan Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN).

The AWS partnership is OpenAI's first major cloud computing deal since it struck a new agreement with Microsoft, which gave it more flexibility.

CNBC's MacKenzie Sigalos reports on Amazon’s record-setting rally after signing a $38 billion cloud deal with OpenAI.

The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq advanced on Monday, with artificial intelligence-related deals driving much of the gains even as the Federal Reserve's near-term monetary policy grew increasingly foggy due to scarcity of official U.

Ahead of the opening bell, the Dow shed early losses and edged higher, with Nvidia and Cisco Systems CSCO doing most of the lifting. S&P 500 futures gained 0.3%. The Nasdaq 100 futures advanced 0.6% in premarket trading.
