Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang stated that recent investments in OpenAI and Anthropic are likely the chipmaker's last in those companies, as both AI firms prepare for potential public listings this year. A previously announced $100 billion deal with OpenAI was abandoned, with Nvidia instead finalizing a $30 billion investment.
Huang indicated a $10 billion investment in Anthropic will also probably be the last. Both OpenAI and Anthropic are moving toward IPOs, with OpenAI's potential valuation reported as high as $1 trillion.
The main topics covered are Nvidia's investment strategy, the upcoming IPOs of OpenAI and Anthropic, and the abandonment of a larger deal due to sector concerns.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said the latest investments in OpenAI and Anthropic might be the chipmaker's last in those companies, as the AI companies prepare to go public this year.
The opportunity to invest $100 billion in âOpenAI is â probably not in â the cards as the ChatGPT creator is set to go public later this year, Huang said at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media and Telecom conference on Wednesday.
Nvidia and OpenAI had announced a $100 billion deal in September last year.
Nvidia has instead finalized a $30 billion investment in OpenAI, which might be the last â time it âhas the opportunity to "invest in a consequential company like this," Huang said.
OpenAI is laying the groundwork â for an IPO that could value the company at up to $1 trillion, Reuters exclusively reported last year.
Nvidia's $10 billion investment in Anthropic probably will be the last as well, Huang added. The startup is reportedly looking to go public this year.
Anthropic, which is embroiled in a dispute with the Pentagon, has said it has not finalised an âIPO decision.
OpenAI and Anthropic did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment.
The Financial Times reported in February that Nvidia and OpenAI had â abandoned their $100 billion deal amid doubts about the health of the AI sector.
Some analysts had raised concerns about the circular arrangement, as the large investment in Anthropic would have made Nvidia a major investor in one of its biggest customers and the money it would pour into the startup was likely to be spent on its own AI processors.
