NVIDIA to Invest $100 Billion in OpenAI
OpenAI and NVIDIA have unveiled a massive strategic collaboration that could reshape the artificial intelligence landscape. The deal will see NVIDIA invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI, with funding tied to the deployment of 10 gigawatts of AI data centers.
The first gigawatt deployment is expected in the second half of 2026, signaling a long-term partnership between the two tech giants.
AI Breakthroughs and Future Plans
Sam Altman, OpenAI’s CEO, highlighted the significance of compute infrastructure in driving future economic growth.
“Compute infrastructure will be the basis for the economy of the future,” Altman said. “We will utilize what we’re building with NVIDIA to create new AI breakthroughs and empower people and businesses at scale.”
NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang noted that the collaboration marks the next leap forward in AI computing power, building on years of joint innovation that began with the first DGX supercomputer.
Worldcoin Price Attempts Recovery
Worldcoin (WLD), the cryptocurrency co-founded by Altman, has been under pressure along with the broader crypto market. WLD recently fell to $1.31 before stabilizing near $1.35, a crucial support level.
Analysts say a rebound is possible if buyers defend this zone, with sentiment potentially boosted by the positive news of OpenAI’s growing AI infrastructure and vision for global impact.
Expanding AI Reach
OpenAI now counts over 700 million weekly active users across enterprises, small businesses, and developers. Its long-term goal is to build artificial general intelligence (AGI) that benefits humanity, a mission aligned with Worldcoin’s proof-of-human concept.
The NVIDIA deal further strengthens OpenAI’s ecosystem, which already includes partnerships with Microsoft, Oracle, SoftBank, and Stargate.
