Nvidia Corp. Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang said the company will be participating in OpenAI\u2019s latest funding round, describing it as potentially \u201cthe largest investment we\u2019ve ever made.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will invest a great deal of money,\u201d Huang told reporters while visiting Taipei on Saturday. \u201cI believe in OpenAI. The work that they do is incredible. They\u2019re one of the most consequential companies of our time.\u201d Huang didn\u2019t say exactly how much the company might contribute but described the investment as \u201chuge.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLet Sam announce how much he\u2019s going to raise \u2014 it\u2019s for him to decide,\u201d Huang said, adding that Altman is in the process of closing the round. \u201cBut we will definitely participate in the next round of financing because it\u2019s such a good investment.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday that a plan that Nvidia had announced in September to invest as much as $100 billion in OpenAI overall had stalled after some inside the chip giant expressed doubts about the deal. Citing unidentified people familiar with the matter, the Journal reported that Huang had privately emphasized that the $100 billion agreement was nonbinding, had privately criticized what he has described as a lack of discipline in OpenAI\u2019s business approach and expressed concern about competition. \u00a0<\/p>\n
When asked by a reporter in Taipei about the report that seemed to suggest he wasn\u2019t very happy with OpenAI, Jensen said, \u201cThat\u2019s nonsense.\u201d Huang said Nvidia\u2019s contribution to OpenAI\u2019s latest funding round wouldn\u2019t approach $100 billion.<\/p>\n
Nvidia\u2019s massive investment commitment to OpenAI, a key buyer of its advanced AI chips, has stoked concerns about the circular nature of AI deals over the past year. Investors are increasingly questioning how these partnerships \u2014 in which tech companies are investing in AI businesses that purchase their products \u2014 may be artificially propping up demand. In a separate such deal, Nvidia\u00a0recently\u00a0announced plans to invest an additional $2 billion in CoreWeave Inc., a cloud computing provider that\u2019s also a key customer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As part of a letter of intent signed in September, Nvidia said it planned to invest as much as $100 billion in OpenAI to support new data centers and other artificial intelligence infrastructure. The deal was designed to help OpenAI build data centers with a capacity of at least 10 gigawatts of power \u2014 equivalent to the peak electricity demand of New York City \u2014 equipped with Nvidia\u2019s advanced chips to train and deploy AI models.\u00a0<\/p>\n
OpenAI has been seeking to raise as much as $100 billion in its current funding round, according to a person familiar with knowledge of the matter, asking not to be identified because the discussions are private. Amazon was in talks to invest as much as $50 billion in the fundraise and expand an agreement that involves selling computer power to the AI startup, the person said on Thursday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Altman has also met with top investors in the Middle East to line up funding for the round, which may value the company at about $750 billion to $830 billion, people familiar with the matter said earlier in January, while asking not to be identified because the information isn\u2019t public. Microsoft Corp. is in discussions to participate as well, the Information had previously reported.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
