Jan 30 (Reuters) - Nvidia's ( NVDA ) plan to invest up
to $100 billion in OpenAI to help it train and run its latest
artificial-intelligence models has stalled after some inside the
chip giant expressed doubts about the deal, the Wall Street
Journal reported on Friday.
Both companies are rethinking the future of their
partnership, and the latest discussions include an equity
investment of tens of billions of dollars as part of OpenAI's
current funding round, the Journal said, citing people familiar
with the matter.
Nvidia ( NVDA ) CEO Jensen Huang has privately emphasized to industry
associates in recent months that the original $100 billion
agreement was non-binding and not finalized, the report said.
Huang has also privately criticized what he has
described as a lack of discipline in OpenAI's business approach
and expressed concern about the competition it faces from the
likes of Alphabet's Google and Anthropic, the WSJ
added.
Reuters could not immediately verify the report. OpenAI and
Nvidia ( NVDA ) did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for
comment.
