Nvidia to invest $100bn in OpenAI, joining forces in AI race
Nvidia, the chipmaking giant, plans to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI and supply it with advanced chips for data centers, both companies announced on Monday. This marks a major partnership between two of the biggest names in artificial intelligence.
The agreement involves two connected deals. OpenAI will pay Nvidia cash for chips, while Nvidia will invest in OpenAI by buying shares, though it won’t take control of the company.
The first $10 billion of Nvidia’s investment will start once a final agreement is signed for OpenAI to purchase chips. Nvidia has already invested $6.6 billion in OpenAI before. The AI start-up, recently valued at $500 billion, is still working on its shift to a for-profit model. Microsoft, which invested $13 billion in 2023, is set to receive 49% of OpenAI’s profits.
The new partnership includes a plan to use at least 10 gigawatts of Nvidia chips to power OpenAI’s growing AI infrastructure.
“Everything starts with computing power,” said OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. “The systems we’re building with Nvidia will help us make new AI breakthroughs and bring them to people and businesses at scale.”
Altman has often said OpenAI is limited by access to computing power, measured in GPUs (graphics processing units), which are essential for running AI tools like ChatGPT.
The companies expect to finalize the deal in the coming weeks, with the first set of chips expected to be delivered in the second half of 2026.
Nvidia’s investment comes only days after it pledged $5 billion to struggling chipmaker Intel. Worth $4 trillion, Nvidia is the world’s most valuable company and is viewed as a leader in artificial intelligence because of its advanced chips.
