Nvidia CEO Denies Unhappiness, Still Plans 'Huge' Investment Not Really $100B
KEY POINTS
- •Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang denied reports that he was unhappy with OpenAI in Taipei on January 31.
- •He reaffirmed Nvidia’s plan to make a 'huge' investment in OpenAI but dismissed the $100 billion figure as 'nothing like that.'
- •The original deal announced in September mentioned up to $100 billion investment, but recent speculation called it into question.
In a dazzling display of corporate quantum physics, Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang publicly rejected gossip that he’s peeved at OpenAI while simultaneously reassuring everyone that Nvidia's 'huge' investment Is definitely happening—even if it’s probably less than $100 billion. Spotted in Taipei on January 31, Huang called whispers about his dissatisfaction 'nonsense,' a term smashing hype harder than a GPU crushing your gaming frame rate. Yet when pressed on the $100 billion pledge Nikola-style, he answered, 'No, nothing like that.' So it’s 'huge' but 'not $100B huge'—imagine promising a yacht but delivering a very convincing yacht-shaped cardboard cutout instead.
