On the evening of October 8th Beijing time, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang confirmed that NVIDIA has invested in Elon Musk's startup xAI.
Huang expressed his excitement about xAI's ongoing fundraising efforts and candidly stated his desire to participate in virtually every field that Musk ventures into.
Regarding another AI giant, OpenAI, he mentioned that NVIDIA's deal with OpenAI will help prepare the startup to become an "autonomous hosted hyperscale data center operator." However, he was unaware of OpenAI's deal with AMD before it was publicly announced.
Furthermore, Huang frankly admitted his regret for not investing in OpenAI earlier, while noting that OpenAI's revenue is experiencing exponential growth.
When asked how OpenAI would fund its deal with NVIDIA, he responded that OpenAI "currently has no money" and will subsequently raise funds through revenue as well as equity or debt financing methods.
