OpenAI, despite raising over $168 billion, faces slowing investment due to a lack of a profitable business model. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced a planned $30 billion investment in OpenAI, but hinted it could be the last until the AI company goes public. A previously discussed $100 billion infrastructure investment is now unlikely. Experts are questioning the financial risk of such large investments, as Nvidia's stock tumbled despite strong earnings, reflecting investor uncertainty about AI monetization. Analysts are finding it difficult to assign clear values to AI companies like OpenAI, currently valued at $730 billion, due to the uncertainty of how these companies will monetize their products.
