A person familiar with the negotiations said that Nvidia executives expressed the purchase intention to OpenRouter's matchmaking team and are preparing to make a generous offer, but it will take more time to evaluate the deal before the official bid is made. And OpenRouter's founders didn't want to wait. In the end, Nvidia did not issue an official takeover offer, and Stripe took OpenRouter at a price of $8 billion. Nvidia's deal team quickly turned to other acquisition targets. Over the next two months, Nvidia finalized various deals worth more than 140 billion US dollars, including a credit guarantee of 105 billion US dollars. By the end of July, Nvidia had an equity investment of nearly 100 billion US dollars, and promised future investments of 25 billion US dollars. More deals may be reached in the future. A person familiar with the matter revealed that previously undisclosed information shows that Nvidia has discussed an additional investment of 1 billion US dollars in the humanoid robot company Figure. Figure was valued at about 38 billion US dollars before the current round of financing, and the company is in the process of raising a new round of capital. According to people familiar with the matter, Nvidia may also acquire startups to help develop its own Nemotron open source model and lay out other AI application tracks. Nvidia agreed to invest $6 billion to license Poolside's software and recruit its team, in part to advance the Nemotron project. The Poolside team launched Laguna's open-source weighted AI model this year.
