However, several months have passed since that announcement, and it seems the deal is going nowhere. OpenAI had hoped to seal the deal a few weeks after the initial agreement, but sources told The Wall Street Journal that the talks have largely stalled since then.
It seems both parties are rethinking the deal terms, although OpenAI could still receive tens of billions of dollars from Nvidia through an equity investment. According to the publication, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has been privately telling his peers that the $100 billion MOU isn’t binding and is still subject to change.
Furthermore, although Huang said that OpenAI is “likely going to be the next multi-trillion-dollar hyperscaler company,” he has also been quietly criticizing the AI company’s approach to its business. People familiar with the matter say that the Nvidia CEO is concerned about the company's lack of business discipline and competition from Anthropic and Google . An analyst actually seems to agree with the leather-clad CEO, predicting that the company could run out of cash by mid-2027 .
