Their comments came in an interview with CNBC, where Huang announced to invest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/business\/nvidia-openai-announce-100-billion-partnership-for-future-ai-infrastructure-9590212.html\">$100 billion in <\/a><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/business\/nvidia-openai-announce-100-billion-partnership-for-future-ai-infrastructure-9590212.html\"><span class=\"cf0\">OpenAI<\/span><\/a><span class=\"cf0\"> for the development of data centers based on Nvidia\u2019s chips. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span class=\"cf0\">Earlier, US President Donald Trump signed a proclamation raising the one-time fee on H-1B visas to a staggering $100,000, with exemptions for certain companies or sectors depending on the national interest. The proclamation accused the IT industry of misusing the visa provision to benefit itself and posed a threat to national security. The order sent a wave of panic across the globe among US companies and H-1B and H-4 visa holders, particularly Indians. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span class=\"cf0\">Huang, who is himself an immigrant, in an interview to CNBC said that they wanted all the brightest minds to come to the US and remember immigration is the foundation of the American Dream. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><span class=\"cf0\">\u201cWe represent the American Dream. And so I think immigration is really important to our company and is really important to our nation\u2019s future, and I\u2019m glad to see President Trump making the moves he\u2019s making.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span class=\"cf0\">OpenAI\u2019s<\/span><span class=\"cf0\"> Sam Altman also agreed with it and added that they needed to get the smartest people in the country, and streamlined the process and also sort of outlined financial incentives seems good to me. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><span class=\"cf0\">The $100,000 one-time fee for new H-1B visa holders will definitely work as a big hurdle and demotivator for companies to hire foreign workers. Instead, they would prefer American workers if the required talent is available. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">Some sectors in America highly rely on H-1B program to get high-skilled employees, especially from India and China. Those two countries accounted for 71% and 11.7% of visa holders last year, respectively.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">The partnership of OpenAI and Nvidia is designed to support the training and deployment of OpenAI\u2019s future models as the company advances toward building superintelligence. The first phase is expected to go live in the second half of 2026 on Nvidia\u2019s Vera Rubin platform.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">\u201cNvidia and OpenAI have pushed each other for a decade, from the first DGX supercomputer to the breakthrough of ChatGPT,&#8221; said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia. \u201cThis investment and infrastructure partnership mark the next leap forward \u2014 deploying 10 gigawatts to power the next era of intelligence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Varun Yadav\" title=\"Varun Yadav\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2025\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-11-at-14.38.33-2025-02-47cdd4fd31681cc3efe5087cb8bd1418.jpeg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/varun-yadav-28203.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Varun Yadav<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Varun Yadav is a Sub Editor at News18 Business Digital.
