$100 Billion OpenAI–Nvidia Investment Talks Reportedly Stall

Nvidia’s proposed large-scale investment in OpenAI has slowed amid internal uncertainty, with discussions remaining preliminary and potentially shifting toward an equity stake in OpenAI’s ongoing funding round.

Summary

Nvidia has reportedly paused plans to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI to support the training and operation of new artificial intelligence models. Although cooperation between the two companies was announced in 2023, discussions remain at an early stage due to internal doubts within Nvidia. Current prospects suggest the talks may pivot toward a smaller equity investment as part of OpenAI’s existing fundraising efforts rather than a large infrastructure-focused deal.
