NVIDIA's CEO, Jensen Huang, disclosed that the company is contemplating taking part in OpenAI's latest private financing round and intends to invest when OpenAI goes public in the future. He mentioned that this financing round is anticipated to be "the largest private financing in history," while simultaneously refuting rumors of dissatisfaction with OpenAI. NVIDIA is on the verge of securing a $20 billion investment, which will constitute a substantial portion of OpenAI's latest financing round, although the agreement is still pending finalization. Earlier, Reuters reported that OpenAI aims to raise $100 billion, with its post-investment valuation potentially soaring to $830 billion. Recently, there have been subtle shifts in the relationship between the two entities. OpenAI has voiced discontent with the performance of some NVIDIA chips and is considering alternative solutions starting from 2025. Despite this, NVIDIA still acknowledges OpenAI's long-term strategic significance. In September 2025, NVIDIA had declared an investment plan of up to $100 billion. Although reports indicated that the plan was "put on hold," NVIDIA's investment intentions remain steadfast. At present, numerous tech giants and investment institutions are actively pursuing cooperative relationships with OpenAI.
