1. OpenAI Investment Plans
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang confirmed the company will commit $30 billion to OpenAI, scaling back from an initial $100 billion proposal. The decision reflects OpenAI’s upcoming public listing and signals a more measured capital allocation toward long-term AI research partnerships.
2. Grace CPU Server Deployment
Nvidia announced its largest deployment of Grace CPU-only servers with Meta, marking a significant expansion of its data center footprint. The deal underscores Nvidia’s push to diversify beyond GPUs and capture growing demand for high-performance CPU infrastructure in AI inference and traditional computing workloads.
