Nvidia (NVDA) Cuts OpenAI Data Center Guarantee to $120 Billion

Nvidia (NVDA) has revised its financial commitment for a planned OpenAI data center in Ohio, reducing its backstop from $250 billion to less than $120 billion. The restructured deal will initially cover approximately five gigawatts of capacity, with future funding decisions to be made at a later stage. Nvidia's stock fell 5% following the initial report of the larger backstop discussions. This data center project, which could eventually reach 10 gigawatts, is part of OpenAI's strategy to develop its own AI infrastructure, despite its current unprofitable status and a valuation of $852 billion.
