NVIDIA Plans to Make Significant Investment in OpenAI Amid Negotiation Reboot
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has revealed that the company is set to invest a substantial amount of money in OpenAI's latest fundraising round, according to reports. The news comes after earlier this year, NVIDIA and OpenAI jointly announced an investment deal worth up to $100 billion to build 10 gigawatts of AI data centers. However, it appears that negotiations between the two companies have stalled, with some sources suggesting that the agreement had not progressed beyond its initial stages.
Speaking at a press conference in Taipei over the weekend, Huang reportedly stated that NVIDIA's investment in OpenAI could be "the largest we've ever made." He also expressed his confidence in the AI firm, praising their work as "incredible" and stating that they are one of the most consequential companies of our time.
However, when asked about the initial $100 billion deal, Huang was quoted as saying that the report's claims were "nonsense," and indicated that NVIDIA's investment would be significantly less than previously reported. It remains to be seen what this revised investment will look like, but it is clear that both parties are committed to their collaboration.
Sources close to the negotiations have long stated that the initial deal had not been binding, with Huang reportedly criticizing OpenAI's business approach as lacking discipline. The latest development suggests that despite some setbacks, NVIDIA and OpenAI remain committed to their partnership, and are looking to make a significant investment in the company's future.
