Nvidia is scaling back its planned financial guarantee for OpenAI’s Ohio data center, according to multiple reports. The Wall Street Journal and other outlets say the guarantee is reduced to under $120 billion, after Nvidia previously signaled a much larger backstop.
Earlier coverage described the guarantee as as high as $250 billion. Quartz reports Nvidia revises the plan after investors raised concerns about the company’s risk exposure tied to large financing commitments. Channel NewsAsia also cites a lower figure, describing a guarantee potentially up to about $105 billion, while several other reports place the revised support at $120 billion or just under.
Across outlets, the shared point is the downsizing of Nvidia’s proposed guarantee for the Ohio facility and the investor/risk-exposure concerns cited as the driver for the change. The main difference is the specific upper range reported, with figures such as approximately $105 billion and “below $120 billion” appearing depending on the outlet’s sourcing and timing.
