Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has confirmed that the chipmaking giant plans to make a massive investment in OpenAI, calling it likely the largest investment Nvidia has ever made. Speaking to reporters in Taipei, Huang dismissed recent media reports suggesting dissatisfaction with the ChatGPT creator, labeling such claims as “nonsense” and reaffirming his strong support for OpenAI and its leadership.
The announcement follows earlier reports that Nvidia had considered investing up to $100 billion in OpenAI, a move that would strengthen OpenAI’s access to advanced AI chips critical for maintaining its leadership in artificial intelligence. While The Wall Street Journal recently reported that the plan had stalled due to internal concerns at Nvidia, Huang clarified that earlier figures were non-binding and never finalized. He emphasized that Nvidia remains fully committed to participating in OpenAI’s current fundraising round, which is being led by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
Huang praised OpenAI as one of the most consequential companies of modern times and highlighted his positive working relationship with Altman. Although he ruled out an investment anywhere near $100 billion, Huang confirmed that Nvidia will invest a substantial amount, leaving the final figure to be announced by Altman. This clarification helped calm speculation about tensions between the two companies and reinforced Nvidia’s long-term strategy in the AI sector.
The renewed commitment comes as competition in the artificial intelligence market intensifies. OpenAI faces growing rivals such as Google, owned by Alphabet, and AI startup Anthropic, while demand for cutting-edge AI infrastructure continues to surge. According to Reuters, OpenAI is seeking to raise up to $100 billion in total funding at a valuation of approximately $830 billion. Amazon is also reportedly in talks to invest as much as $50 billion, underscoring the scale of interest in OpenAI’s future.
Huang made the remarks during a high-profile gathering in Taipei, where he hosted Nvidia’s key Taiwanese suppliers, including TSMC, at an event dubbed the “trillion-dollar dinner” by local media. The event symbolized Nvidia’s central role in the global AI supply chain and highlighted how strategic investments in companies like OpenAI are shaping the future of artificial intelligence and semiconductor innovation.
