SAN FRANCISCO -- Nvidia is on the cusp of investing $30 billion in OpenAI, scaling back a plan to pump $100 billion into the ChatGPT maker, the Financial Times reported Thursday.<div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/news/technology/2026/1/6/nvidia-unveils-new-ai-chip-platform-amid-rising-competition-1115" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Nvidia unveils new AI chip platform amid rising competition</a></div>The AI-chip powerhouse will be part of OpenAI&#x27;s new funding round with an agreement that could be concluded as early as this weekend, according to the Times, which cited unnamed sources close to the matter.Nvidia declined to comment on the report.Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang has insisted that the US tech giant will make a &quot;huge&quot; investment in OpenAI and dismissed as &quot;nonsense&quot; reports that he is unhappy with the generative AI star.Huang made the remarks late in January after the Wall Street Journal reported that Nvidia&#x27;s plan to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI had been put on ice.Nvidia announced the plan in September, with the investment helping OpenAI build more infrastructure for next-generation artificial intelligence.The funding round is reported to value OpenAI at some $850 billion.Huang told journalists that the notion of Nvidia having doubts about a huge investment in OpenAI was &quot;complete nonsense.&quot;<div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/news/business/2025/12/25/nvidia-expands-ai-empire-with-groq-talent-grab-0929" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Nvidia expands AI empire with Groq talent grab</a></div>Huang insisted that Nvidia was going ahead with its investment in OpenAI, describing it as &quot;one of the most consequential companies of our time&quot;.&quot;Sam is closing the round, and we will absolutely be involved in the round,&quot; Huang said, referring to OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman.&quot;We will invest a great deal of money.&quot;Nvidia has become the coveted supplier of processors needed for training and operating the large language models (LLM) behind chatbots like OpenAI&#x27;s ChatGPT or Google Gemini.LLM developers like OpenAI are directing much of the mammoth investment they have received into Nvidia&#x27;s products, rushing to build GPU-stuffed data centers to serve an anticipated flood of demand for AI services.The AI rush, and its frenzy of investment in giant data centers and the massive purchase of energy-intensive chips, continues despite signs of concern in the markets.
