From $250 Billion to Less Than $120 Billion, Reports Say Nvidia Significantly Shrinks Financing Guarantee for OpenAI Data Centers

Nvidia and OpenAI are advancing the construction of a hyperscale data center campus in Ohio, but both parties have adjusted the financing structure. The financial guarantee amount provided by Nvidia has been significantly reduced from the initial $250 billion to less than $120 billion.

Data centers are key computing infrastructure supporting large model training and inference. As a core GPU supplier, Nvidia deeply ties itself to OpenAI's computing power needs through guarantees, aiming to ensure the market absorption capacity of its AI chips.

The reduction in guarantee scale reflects the capital market's concern regarding Nvidia's balance sheet risk exposure. Investors worry that the chip giant is taking on excessive financing risk for downstream customers, which may affect its own financial stability.

This adjustment shows the financial balance challenges faced by AI computing power investment during high-speed expansion. Nvidia needs to find a new balance point between promoting the deployment of AI infrastructure and controlling its own operational risks.
