Interesting timing. If OpenAI goes public this year, this $30B investment becomes much more about financial returns than strategic partnership. Nvidia's compute moat is strong, but they're essentially betting that the OpenAI ecosystem will remain dominant. With open source models catching up rapidly (Llama, Mistral, DeepSeek), the landscape could look very different by 2027.
