Nvidia Clarifies OpenAI Investment, Says $100 Billion Figure Was Never a Firm Pledge

Huang says Nvidia will participate in OpenAI’s round with staged funding.

Overview

  • Jensen Huang reiterated that Nvidia will make a large investment in OpenAI and join the current funding round, but emphasized the plan is incremental rather than a single $100 billion commitment.
  • The September memorandum to build 10 gigawatts of compute has not closed, with the Wall Street Journal reporting the arrangement has effectively stalled.
  • Reuters reported OpenAI has been seeking alternatives for certain inference workloads—targeting roughly 10% of future needs—even as both companies publicly dismiss talk of a rift.
  • Oracle declared the NvidiaOpenAI situation has zero impact on its OpenAI contract and voiced confidence in OpenAI’s fundraising, and the stock fell about 2.8% after the post.
  • Nvidia shares slipped around 2% as investors assessed uncertainty over deal size and structure and the broader risk in circular AI financing models.
