Huang Defends Nvidia’s Up to $100 Billion OpenAI Deal, Rejects ‘Flatlining’ AI Outlook

He argues the investment reflects surging compute needs that consensus forecasts fail to capture.

Overview

  • Nvidia and OpenAI have a letter of intent to deploy at least 10 gigawatts of Nvidia-powered systems starting in 2026.
  • Estimates suggest the buildout could need as many as 5 million GPUs and represent a $300 billion to $500 billion long-term revenue opportunity.
  • Reports citing Reuters say Nvidia plans an initial $10 billion investment for non-voting shares once a definitive agreement is reached.
  • Jensen Huang says the collaboration spans chips, software, systems and AI factories, and he describes OpenAI as a likely multi-trillion-dollar hyperscaler.
  • Analysts warn of ‘circular’ financing and market concentration risks that could invite scrutiny, while Nvidia says the plan will not reduce supply for other customers.
