Nvidia Signals End to OpenAI & Anthropic Investments Pre-IPO

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has indicated that the chipmaker’s recent investments in Nvidia, OpenAI, and Anthropic may be its last, as both companies move closer to potential public listings.

The statement points to a shift in Nvidia’s investment approach as the global artificial intelligence sector continues to expand.

Speaking at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media & Telecom Conference, Huang suggested that Nvidia is unlikely to make additional private investments in the two AI startups.

The reason, he explained, is that both companies are preparing for potential initial public offerings (IPOs), which would limit opportunities for private funding rounds.

• Jensen Huang says AI startups nearing public market stage
• Nvidia focuses on AI infrastructure as IPO plans advance

Nvidia has already made large financial commitments to both firms. The company recently finalized a $30 billion investment in OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT. Earlier, Nvidia also invested about $10 billion investment in Anthropic, the company behind the Claude family of language models. Huang said these investments may represent the last opportunity for Nvidia to take major equity stakes in these companies before they enter public markets.

Earlier reports suggested Nvidia might invest up to $100 billion investment in OpenAI, which would have been one of the largest private funding deals in the technology sector. However, Huang indicated that such an investment is unlikely, particularly as OpenAI accelerates plans for a potential IPO that could value the company at up to $1 trillion valuation.

Even as it steps back from further equity investments, Nvidia remains closely linked to both companies through its core business. The rapid expansion of AI technologies has significantly increased demand for Nvidia’s graphics processing units (GPUs), which power many of the systems developed by OpenAI and Anthropic. Huang noted that Nvidia’s focus remains on supporting the broader AI infrastructure ecosystem rather than prioritizing additional equity stakes in startups.

Analysts say the decision reflects Nvidia’s strong position in the AI chip market. By supplying the processors required to train and run large AI models, the company benefits from the growth of nearly every major AI developer.
