Huang Reaffirms Commitment to OpenAI
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said the company is moving forward with a major investment in OpenAI. He described the planned commitment as “huge” and likely the largest Nvidia has ever made.
Speaking to reporters in Taipei on Saturday, Huang rejected speculation that he was unhappy with OpenAI. He called such claims “nonsense,” according to Reuters and Bloomberg.
“We are going to make a huge investment in OpenAI. I believe in OpenAI. The work they do is incredible. They are one of the most consequential companies of our time,” Huang said.
Background on the Proposed $100 Billion Plan
In September, Nvidia had suggested a potential $100 billion investment in OpenAI. This plan aimed to provide both capital and advanced chips to help OpenAI maintain its edge in artificial intelligence.
However, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday that the deal faced delays. According to sources, Huang described the initial $100 billion plan as non-binding and not finalized.
Additionally, Huang reportedly voiced concerns about OpenAI’s business discipline and highlighted competitive pressures from companies such as Google and Anthropic.
