Nvidia recently announced plans to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI as part of a growing partnership following substantial financial backing from Microsoft. In October 2024, Nvidia previously supported OpenAI in a $6.6 billion funding round. Antitrust lawyer Andre Barlow warns that this deal could solidify Nvidia's chip monopoly and challenge competitors like AMD. The Trump administration's relaxed regulatory stance may further enable this strategic collaboration in the AI sector.
