Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has officially ruled out a financial commitment of $100 billion in OpenAI and Anthropic. This decision comes amid strong controversy surrounding the creators of ChatGPT's collaboration with the Pentagon and reports of a planned contract with NATO. Simultaneously, OpenAI reports record revenues exceeding $25 billion annually, despite escalating conflicts with existing partners, including Microsoft.

Nvidia Says 'No'

Jensen Huang ruled out a $100 billion investment in OpenAI and Anthropic, ending speculation about massive financial support for AI giants.

OpenAI's Financial Record

Sam Altman's company's revenues exceeded $25 billion annually, making it one of the fastest-growing players in Silicon Valley.

Military Expansion

The company is considering signing secret contracts with NATO, continuing the path of tightening ties with defense departments despite internal protests.

Claude Model's Success

Anthropic's app gained popularity following controversies related to OpenAI's ethical model, reaching the top of download charts.

The high-performance technology market has been stirred by Jensen Huang's declaration, which unequivocally cut off speculation about a giant capital injection for the leaders of the artificial intelligence sector. Although Nvidia remains a key supplier of graphics processing units essential for training language models, its CEO signaled a strategic shift, raising questions about the future stability of funding for the most capital-intensive projects in the industry. This decision coincides with the publication of OpenAI's financial report, which shows the company has reached a historic milestone of $25 billion in annual revenue, theoretically reducing its dependence on external investors. Concurrently, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, is grappling with a wave of criticism from employees and the public. The source of tensions is an agreement with the Pentagon, under which ChatGPT technology is to be used in military operations. Protests against the military use of artificial intelligence have taken place in San Francisco. In internal communications, Altman admitted that the company has limited influence over how the defense department ultimately utilizes the provided tools. The situation is complicated by reports that OpenAI aspires to become a permanent technological partner of NATO. The relationship between algorithm creators and the defense sector has a long history, dating back to Project Maven in 2018, when protests by Google employees forced the company to abandon a contract for analyzing drone imagery.Amid OpenAI's reputational turmoil, its competitor Anthropic is gaining. Their Claude model became the most downloaded app in the App Store after it was allegedly banned by the Pentagon due to overly strict ethical barriers. This phenomenon suggests that private users and smaller businesses are beginning to seek alternatives to technology perceived as increasingly intertwined with government interests. Meanwhile, OpenAI plans further expansion, preparing its own alternative to the GitHub platform, thereby opening a direct front in the battle with its largest investor—Microsoft. „Our work with the Pentagon is painful, but necessary for national security.” — Sam Altman
