Nvidia is reportedly close to investing $30 billion in OpenAI, according to Reuters, citing a source familiar with the matter. The stake would be part of a massive funding round in which OpenAI aims to raise more than $100 billion, valuing the ChatGPT developer at approximately $830 billion — potentially one of the largest private capital raises in history.
SoftBank and Amazon are also expected to participate in the round. OpenAI plans to allocate a significant portion of the new capital to purchasing Nvidia chips required for training and operating its AI models.
According to the Financial Times, the investment would replace a previously announced agreement from September, under which Nvidia was expected to provide up to $100 billion to support OpenAI’s chip usage in data centers. That arrangement reportedly faced delays in execution.
