Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang denied reports that he was unhappy with OpenAI and said his company still planned to make a “huge” investment in the ChatGPT firm. NVIDIA announced in September that it would invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI, but recently, there have been suggestions that the deal might not happen. While Huang told reporters in Taipei that it was “nonsense” to say he was unhappy with OpenAI, when asked if Nvidia would be investing over $100 billion, he replied, “No, nothing like that.”
Reuters reported Huang said:
“We are going to make a huge investment in OpenAI. I believe in OpenAI, the work that they do is incredible, they are one of the most consequential companies of our time and I really love working with Sam,” he said, referring to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
“Sam is closing the round (of investment) and we will absolutely be involved,” Huang added. “We will invest a great deal of money, probably the largest investment we’ve ever made.”
