Nvidia and OpenAI Negotiates $100 Billion Buildout
Nvidia and OpenAI's proposed September partnership — under which Nvidia would invest up to $100 billion to deploy at least 10 gigawatts of AI data centers and supply an estimated 4–5 million GPUs — remains unsigned as of December 2025, Nvidia CFO Colette Kress said at the UBS Global Technology and AI Conference. The delay stems from ongoing negotiations over pricing, energy guarantees and supply logistics and has introduced investor volatility while posing industry-wide compute provisioning implications.
