Given OpenAI's increased funding and strong market position in artificial intelligence, its stock is likely to see positive growth. The backing of significant investors signals confidence in its future profitability and potential public offering.

Nvidia's continuing support and involvement with OpenAI, especially their key partnership in the AI sector, indicates a potential upside for Nvidia's stock as AI applications grow.
