Negotiations between Nvidia and OpenAI over a potential investment valued at nearly $100 billion have stalled, after discussions were halted due to internal concerns raised within Nvidia regarding the feasibility and broader implications of the deal. The development highlights a divergence in strategic outlook between two of the world’s most influential players in the artificial intelligence sector.

The two companies had previously announced the signing of a letter of intent to establish a major strategic partnership aimed at financing the construction of new data centers and advanced AI infrastructure, largely based on Nvidia’s hardware and computing technologies.

At the time, the proposed investment was estimated at up to $100 billion, with plans to build computing capacity equivalent to around 10 gigawatts—roughly comparable to the peak electricity consumption of New York City.

However, talks later stalled as some Nvidia executives expressed concerns over the scale of the financial commitment and the nature of the investment relationship, amid growing questions about the long-term sustainability of the current AI boom and increasing interdependence among major technology companies.

In an official statement, Nvidia reaffirmed its long-standing relationship with OpenAI, noting that it has been the company’s preferred partner for processors and advanced computing technologies for the past decade, without providing details on the status or reasons behind the stalled negotiations.

OpenAI has not issued an immediate comment on the matter, as it continues efforts to secure substantial funding to support its rapid expansion and surging demand for its services, particularly in generative AI systems and conversational applications.

According to current scenarios, Nvidia could still participate in OpenAI’s funding round but with a significantly smaller investment, potentially limited to tens of billions of dollars, as part of OpenAI’s broader effort to raise up to $100 billion from strategic investors.
