NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has confirmed that his company will be making a significant investment in AI startup OpenAI, with estimates suggesting the deal could be one of the largest investments the tech giant has ever made. According to reports, the terms of the agreement were previously agreed upon at $100 billion, but those plans appear to have stalled and are no longer being pursued.
Huang reportedly stated that while NVIDIA will indeed invest a substantial amount of money in OpenAI's latest funding round, it is not anywhere near the original figure of $100 billion. The actual investment amount has yet to be disclosed, but sources close to the matter have indicated that it could be significant nonetheless.
This development comes as both companies were initially set to collaborate on building 10 gigawatts of AI data centers, with a target completion date in the second half of 2026. However, it appears that discussions between NVIDIA and OpenAI regarding the project's progress have become increasingly strained, with Huang reportedly criticizing OpenAI's business approach as lacking discipline.
When questioned about the reports claiming that NVIDIA had cancelled plans to invest $100 billion in OpenAI, CEO Jensen Huang disputed these claims, stating instead that he "believes in OpenAI" and praised their work. Nonetheless, it remains unclear what the actual investment amount will be or when it might be finalized.
