OpenAI will keep using Nvidia GPUs but they may have to actually pay for them.

Would Nvidia investing heavily in ClosedAI dissuade others to use Nvidia?

All these giant non-binding investment announcements are just a massive confidence scam.

We know that it is all a grift before the inevitable collapse, so everyone is racing for the exit before that happens.

I guarrantee you that in 10 years time, you will get claims of unethical conduct by those companies only after the mania has ended (and by then the claimants have sold all their RSUs.)

Not only has OpenAI's market share gone down significantly in the last 6mo, Nvidia has been using its newfound liquid funds to train its own family of models[1]. An alliance with OpenAI just makes less sense today than it did 6mo ago.

Nvidia had the chance to build its own AI software and chose not to. It was a good choice so far, better to sell shovels than go to the mines - but they still could go mining if the other miners start making their own shovels.

If I were Nvidia I would be hedging my bets a little. OpenAI looks like it's on shaky ground, it might not be around in a few years.
