Nvidia to make ‘huge’ investment in OpenAI: CEO Huang

Nvidia plans to make what its chief executive, Jensen Huang, described as a “huge” investment in OpenAI, signalling continued backing for the ChatGPT maker, according to a recent report by Reuters.

Speaking to reporters in Taipei on January 31, Nvidia CEO Huang rejected suggestions that he was unhappy with OpenAI, calling such claims “nonsense”. 

“We are going to make a huge investment in OpenAI,” Huang said. He said Nvidia would take part in OpenAI’s next funding round and that the investment would likely be the largest the chipmaker has ever made, though he ruled out a figure close to $100 billion.

In September 2025, Nvidia announced that it was considering investing up to $100 billion in OpenAI. 

In January 2026, the Wall Street Journal reported that Huang had privately questioned OpenAI’s business discipline and highlighted increasing competition from rivals including Alphabet’s Google and the AI start-up Anthropic.
