Amazon.com Inc (AMZN  ) is reportedly considering a $50 billion investment in the artificial intelligence company, OpenAI. The conversations are still in the early stages and final numbers have not yet been finalized, a source told Reuters on Thursday. A $50 billion investment would make Amazon the largest contributor to OpenAI's latest funding round.

Benzinga reported earlier today that OpenAI was in discussions to secure funding of nearly $40 billion from Nvidia (NVDA  ), Amazon and Microsoft (MSFT  ).

Microsoft, which has made previous investments into the artificial intelligence company and owns a 27 percent stake in the company, is considering an additional investment below $10 billion, while Nvidia is considering an investment upwards of $30 billion, the Financial Times reported.

Earlier this week, Benzinga reported Softbank Group was in talks to invest up to $30 billion more in OpenAI, as the ChatGPT maker seeks up to $100 billion in new capital. This would put the company's valuation at $830 billion, which would support the company's expansion plans, including "substantial data center capacity."

Reports earlier this month also suggested that CEO Sam Altman was courting top investors in the Middle East to raise $50 billion in funding. The round is likely to be closed during the first quarter of 2026.
