Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has publicly rejected reports suggesting friction between his company and OpenAI regarding a potential $100 billion investment, according to TechCrunch AI.
Huang characterized the recent report as “nonsense,” directly challenging claims that collaboration between the two AI industry leaders has stalled. The CEO’s comments appear aimed at dispelling speculation about tensions in what would be one of the largest corporate investments in the AI sector.
According to TechCrunch AI, Huang’s pushback comes in response to reporting that suggested difficulties in the relationship between Nvidia, the dominant provider of AI chips, and OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT. However, the CEO did not provide additional details about the current status of any investment discussions or partnership terms.
The report comes at a critical time for both companies, as Nvidia continues to supply the computational infrastructure powering many of OpenAI’s products, while OpenAI remains one of the most prominent customers for Nvidia’s high-performance AI chips. Neither company has officially confirmed the existence of a $100 billion investment proposal.
Huang’s denial represents the first public comment from Nvidia leadership addressing the reported investment friction.
