CEO Jensen Huang has denied reports that Nvidia was considering withdrawing its fresh, huge investment in OpenAI.
Nvidia is poised to make its “biggest investment ever” in ChatGPT developer OpenAI, despite recent reports suggesting the deal may be in jeopardy.
Huang dismissed claims of dissatisfaction with OpenAI as “nonsense”.
While Nvidia CFO Colette Kress stated in December 2025 that the company had not finalized a final deal with OpenAI, some senior Nvidia officials have indicated that an official deal between the two companies would be finalized soon.
How much is Nvidia investing in OpenAI?
Nvidia’s CEO did not disclose the exact amount of the investment, but clarified that it would be “nothing like” the $100 billion mentioned in the partnership agreement signed in September.
“We will definitely participate in the next round of financing because it is such a good investment,” Huang told reporters at a press conference, as reported by Bloomberg.
As the world’s most valuable company, Nvidia produces a significant amount of hardware that powers tools like ChatGPT and Sora.
Another notable point is that Nvidia’s technology is essential to the AI data centers that OpenAI is preparing to invest hundreds of billions in across the United States. These data centers are expected to consume as much electricity as India in the process.
Huang’s clarification about Nvidia’s OpenAI investment comes on the heels of a report from The Wall Street Journal earlier this week that called the deal “on ice.”
The Journal also reported that Huang had privately expressed concerns regarding “a lack of discipline in OpenAI’s business approach” and the increasing competition from competitors such as Google and Anthropic.
Surprisingly, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman also expressed competition concerns recently.
He announced in December a hiatus on other projects to focus on improving ChatGPT’s user experience after Google’s Gemini 3 outperformed it in various benchmarking tests.
