Nvidia halts plan to invest US$100bn in OpenAI: ‘WSJ’By Nick Turner / BloombergNvidia Corp’s negotiations to invest as much as US$100 billion in OpenAI have broken down, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported, exposing a potential rift between two of the most powerful companies in the artificial intelligence (AI) industry. The discussions stalled after some inside Nvidia expressed concerns about the transaction, the WSJ reported, citing unidentified people familiar with the deliberations. OpenAI makes the popular chatbot ChatGPT, while Nvidia dominates the market for AI processors that help develop such software. The US$100 billion was meant to support new data centers and other AI infrastructure, built with Nvidia components. OpenAI has been seeking to raise as much as US$100 billion in that round.
