Nvidia Eyes Potential Deal with Rebellions Over AI Chip Tech
Nvidia is in talks with Korean AI chip designer Rebellions about potential collaborations, including technical partnerships, investments or acquisitions. The discussions are preliminary and may not lead to a transaction.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang met with Rebellions co-founder and CEO Sunghyun Park at Nvidia's headquarters in Santa Clara, California this week.
Nvidia has made several high-profile deals in recent years, including a nonexclusive license agreement with US AI firm Groq. In 2025, Nvidia struck an unconventional deal with Groq, securing a license while absorbing most of its engineering talent.
Rebellions has raised $850 million from investors and was valued at around $2.3 billion. The company specializes in neural processing units for data centers, optimized for AI inference work. Inference is the larger-in-volume workload required to operate AI services at scale.
