The big relationship between NVIDIA and OpenAI has changed a lot. NVIDIAs boss, Jensen Huang said that the chance for private companies to invest a lot in OpenAI is almost gone. He said this at a conference. NVIDIA did invest $30 billion in OpenAI. It won’t invest $100 billion like some people thought.
The reason is that OpenAI is getting ready to let people buy its stock. This might happen by the end of 2026. So NVIDIA is changing its plan. Of trying to own more of OpenAI NVIDIA wants to make sure OpenAI buys its computer chips.
Here are some important points:
- NVIDIA invested $30 billion in OpenAI. This was an investment round that happened in February 2026. OpenAI is now worth $852 billion.
- OpenAI might let people buy its stock soon. Its finance boss, Sarah Friar said its checking if people want to buy its stock.
- NVIDIA wants to sell computer chips to OpenAI of trying to own part of it. This way NVIDIA makes money from selling chips.
- NVIDIA is also stopping its investments in other AI companies like Anthropic.
So NVIDIA is changing how it works with OpenAI and other AI companies. Its not going to try to own part of them. Instead it will just sell them computer chips. This way NVIDIA is still important, in the AI industry no matter how well OpenAIs stock does. OpenAI has to get ready for people to buy its stock and be judged by them. The world will be watching to see if OpenAI can do what its leader, Sam Altman says it can do.
