Nvidia will invest €85 billion in OpenAI to develop "superintelligence."

Nvidia, the American chip giant, announced this Monday a $100 billion investment (about €85 billion at the current exchange rate) in the technology company OpenAI – owner of ChatGPT – as part of a strategic alliance to build a data center and systems with greater power and capacity.

This is a historic agreement that will allow OpenAI to implement at least 10 gigawatts (GW) – equivalent to between 4 and 5 million graphic processors (GPUs), giving the project a "gigantic" character – and build artificial intelligence data centers with Nvidia model systems to advance toward the implementation of "superintelligence," as both companies explained in a statement.

In this sense, Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia, says that the investment and collaboration between both companies paves the way to drive "the next era of intelligence." For his part, Sam Altman, co-founder and CEO of OpenAI, warns that computing infrastructure will be the foundation of the economy of the future and that American companies are working to achieve it.

Thus, the first gigawatt of Nvidia systems is expected to be implemented during the second half of 2026 on the chip giant's Vera Rubin platform. Last month, Huang already promised that Nvidia is moving forward with a plan to introduce "revolutionary products" after becoming a shareholder in Intel.

Following the announcement of the investment, Nvidia shares rose more than 3% during trading on Monday.
