The chipmaker announced that it has invested in "more than two dozen" companies this year, from big new AI platforms valued in the billions of dollars to smaller start-ups applying AI to industries such as healthcare or energy.

Analyst Dealroom, which tracks venture capital investments, claims that Nvidia participated in 35 deals in 2023, almost six times more than last year.

This would make Nvidia the most active large-scale investor in AI last year, outstripping Silicon Valley's largest venture firms such as Andreessen Horowitz and Sequoia.
