Nvidia’s Huang says “no drama” with OpenAI as ChatGPT maker weighs other AI chips

Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang said the chipmaker will invest in OpenAI’s next fundraising round and would consider backing an eventual IPO, rejecting suggestions the talks have soured. “There’s no drama involved. Everything’s on track,” Huang told CNBC. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/02/03/nvidias-jensen-huang-denies-openai-deal-rumors-theres-no-drama.html https://www.reuters.com/technology/nvidia-will-consider-investing-openai-ipo-ceo-huang-tells-cnbc-2026-02-03/ The reassurance matters because OpenAI is a marquee buyer of AI computing, and Nvidia’s own growth is tied to how fast big customers keep ordering its chips. Any wobble in that relationship would land as Wall Street is already jumpy about how much cash the AI buildout is soaking up.
