Sam Altman and OpenAI Secure Nvidia Investment and Chip Supply

Intelligence: Nvidia will invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI through non-voting shares and supply at least 10 gigawatts of data center systems, a move that boosts OpenAI’s compute access and raises competition and antitrust questions.

• The deal structure ties investment to chip purchases, with an initial $10 billion after a definitive agreement, OpenAI’s latest valuation at $500 billion, and a letter of intent to deploy at least 10 gigawatts of Nvidia systems.

• Deliveries begin as soon as late 2026, with the first 1 gigawatt in the second half of 2026 on Nvidia’s Vera Rubin platform, a scale whose power draw equals more than 8 million U.S. households.

• Strategic implications include OpenAI securing compute and cash to sustain its lead while Nvidia gains a financial stake and demands visibility, though analysts warn of circular concerns about investment dollars returning as chip revenue.

• Antitrust risk is in focus as the DOJ and FTC have set the stage for potential probes of Microsoft, OpenAI, and Nvidia, with experts cautioning the pact could entrench Nvidia’s chip dominance and OpenAI’s software lead, while the Trump administration has signaled a lighter competition stance.

• The competitive context remains dynamic as OpenAI continues custom chip work with Broadcom and TSMC and keeps its Microsoft partnership, while Nvidia deepens ties across the industry, including collaborations with Intel and prior backing of OpenAI in a $6.6 billion round.

• Market reaction was positive for Nvidia shares, up to 4.4 percent, and Oracle, up about 6 percent on its Stargate exposure, while Broadcom dipped 0.8 percent.
