Nvidia to invest $100 billion in OpenAI to help expand the ChatGPT maker's computing power

Chipmaker Nvidia will invest $100 billion in OpenAI as part of a partnership that will add at least 10 gigawatts of Nvidia AI data centers to ramp up the computing power for the owner of the artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT. Per the letter of intent the companies announced Monday, the first gigawatt of Nvidia systems will be deployed in the second half of 2026. Nvidia and OpenAI said they would be finalizing the details of the arrangement in the coming weeks. The Nvidia-OpenAI partnership comes about 10 days after OpenAI said that Microsoft would take a $100 billion equity stake in its for-profit corporation.
