NVIDIA Plans to Make Significant Investment in OpenAI Amid Revamped Deal Talks
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has confirmed that the tech giant will be investing a substantial amount of money in OpenAI's latest funding round, with estimates suggesting it could be the largest investment NVIDIA has ever made. The news comes after reports emerged last week indicating that NVIDIA and OpenAI were rethinking a previous $100 billion deal that had stalled in early negotiations.
The two companies had announced in September that they would be collaborating on a massive AI project, with NVIDIA investing up to $100 billion to build 10 gigawatts of data centers. The plan was for the first phase of the project to go live in the second half of 2026. However, sources close to the discussions claimed that the agreement was nonbinding and that Huang had privately expressed concerns about OpenAI's business approach.
Huang has since fired back at reports suggesting he had criticized OpenAI, calling them "nonsense." Instead, he expressed his confidence in the company, stating that their work is "incredible" and that they are one of the most consequential companies of our time. However, it appears that NVIDIA will be investing a significantly reduced amount compared to the original deal.
The exact details of the revised investment have not been disclosed, but Huang's comments suggest that it could still be a substantial sum. With OpenAI poised for significant growth and NVIDIA looking to expand its AI capabilities, this latest development is likely to spark further interest in the tech giant's plans for the company.

I mean, can you imagine what kind of sick AI advancements we'll get from these two giants collabing? NVIDIA and OpenAI are basically going to change the game with their massive investment 
I'm talking huge data centers, serious supercomputing power... it's like something straight outta a sci-fi movie 
or was there some real concern from NVIDIA's side? Either way, I think we're all winners in this scenario 
apparently nvidia is gonna invest big time in openai now... i think this could be huge for the future of ai and gaming lol what do u guys think? should we be worried about nvidia getting too powerful tho?

so like nvidia wants to invest in openai but not as much as they thought and now its all secretive again... meanwhile openai is trying to figure out how to use their money wisely 
and huang just keeps saying openai is "incredible" but we dont really know if that means anything anymore 
... on one hand, it's dope that they're putting resources into ai research - who doesn't want to harness its power? 
but on the other hand, remember what happened with the original $100b deal? it seemed like just another example of tech giants throwing around cash without thinking about actual implementation 
! I'm a bit surprised that it's going back to the drawing board after that massive $100 billion deal initially seemed so solid... I guess we'll just have to wait and see what actually goes down 
guess we'll just have to wait and see how it all plays out 
anyway. anyway, Jensen Huang is saying nice things about openai, but i'm not sure if he's just trying to save face 
. either way, it looks like this partnership is gonna be a big deal, especially with both companies looking to grow in the ai space 
. But hey, if OpenAI can get their act together, who knows? Maybe this investment will actually pay off and they won't have to rely on NVIDIA's generosity forever 
I mean, I'm hyped about NVIDIA and OpenAI collab, but $100 billion is wild... and now it's "revised" 
what's the deal with that? Are they trying to keep it under wraps or something? 
but yaaas lets not count our chickens yet lol u never no what happens in the end 
this deal is still shrouded in mystery tho but one thing's for sure - AI research just got a major boost
