Finding the largest investment project at NVIDIA is OpenAI, although it’s not about a $100 billion deal.

New Week Brings Renewed Focus on the Relationship Between Nvidia and OpenAI

Over the past week, discussions about investments in OpenAI once again became the central theme of the news cycle. Some sources said that Nvidia plans to invest up to $100 million in the startup, while others emphasized doubts among the company’s leadership.

> Bloomberg reports that Nvidia’s CEO denied any questions about the investment, but did not specify the amount.

Official Statements
- Nvidia’s CEO and founder Jensen Huang called the upcoming funding round “the largest of all those we’ve ever conducted.”

- On Saturday in Taipei he told reporters:

“We’re going to put a serious sum of money into this. I believe in OpenAI. They’re doing incredible things and are one of the most important companies of our time.”
Huang did not disclose a specific figure, but stressed that the amount would be substantial.

- According to him, the details of the investment will only be disclosed by Sam Altman because “that’s his prerogative.”

Why Nvidia Is Involved
Huang noted that participating in the next stage of OpenAI’s fundraising is “a very good investment.” Although he dismissed concerns about the prospects of the investment as a “hype,” the fact of participation has been confirmed: Nvidia’s contribution will not approach $100 million, as it did in the strategic agreement from September.

What’s Happening Around It
- Overall goal: OpenAI aims to raise up to $100 million from various investors.

- Who else is involved?

- Amazon is ready to invest up to $50 million.

- Microsoft will be the largest external strategic investor (the senior one).

- SoftBank intends to invest up to $30 million.

- Altman is negotiating with institutional investors in the Middle East.

Take‑aways for OpenAI
After the new round, the company’s valuation should rise to between $750–830 million. This confirms that Nvidia and other major players see high value and growth potential in OpenAI.
