"Jensen Huang suggested NVIDIA would likely not proceed with a previously discussed $100 billion investment in OpenAI, and that the company intends to curtail future investments in AI frontier model companies like OpenAI and Anthropic. That is worth pausing on. Back in Q3 FY2026, NVIDIA had announced a strategic partnership with OpenAI to deploy at least 10 gigawatts of NVIDIA systems for next-generation AI infrastructure."
"Concerns that NVIDIA has been creating 'circular funding' for AI companies has weighed on the company's stock. Bears have pointed to these deals and compared them to what happened during the Dot-Com bust with fiber companies like Nortel providing 'vendor financing' that later blew up. NVIDIA likely wants to tamp down on these accusations, and there's plenty of capital available for leading frontier model companies."
NVIDIA shares declined 0.56% in premarket trading as two major stories emerged. CEO Jensen Huang announced the company will probably not pursue a previously discussed $100 billion investment in OpenAI and intends to curtail future investments in AI frontier model companies like Anthropic. This reversal from NVIDIA's earlier strategic partnership with OpenAI, which involved deploying 10 gigawatts of systems, signals a strategic shift. The decision addresses investor concerns about circular funding arrangements where NVIDIA provided capital to AI companies that then purchased NVIDIA chips, drawing comparisons to dot-com era vendor financing practices that ultimately failed.
