CEO Jensen Huang has rejected reports claiming that Nvidia was considering withdrawing its huge new investment in OpenAI.
Nvidia is set to make its “largest investment ever” in ChatGPT developer OpenAI, despite recent reports suggesting the deal may be under threat.
Huang dismissed claims of dissatisfaction with OpenAI as “nonsense.”
While Nvidia CFO Colette Kress stated in December 2025 that the company had not completed a definitive agreement with OpenAI, some senior Nvidia officials have indicated that an official agreement between the two companies would be finalized soon.
How much is Nvidia investing in OpenAI?
Nvidia’s CEO did not reveal the exact amount of the investment, but clarified that it would be “nothing close” to the $100 billion figure mentioned in the partnership agreement signed in September.
“We will definitely participate in the next round of financing, because it is a very good investment,” Huang told reporters at a press conference, as reported by Bloomberg.
As the most valuable company in the world, Nvidia produces a considerable amount of hardware that powers tools like ChatGPT and Sora.
Another point to highlight is that Nvidia technology is crucial for 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 on Nvidia’s investment in OpenAI comes on the heels of a report from The Wall Street Journal earlier this week, which called the deal “frozen.”
The Journal also reported that Huang had privately expressed concerns about “the lack of discipline in OpenAI’s business approach” and growing competition from competitors such as Google and Anthropic.
Surprisingly, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman also recently expressed concerns about competition.
It announced in December a pause on other projects to focus on improving ChatGPT’s user experience, after Google’s Gemini 3 outperformed it in several benchmark tests.
