Nvidia Weighs Perplexity Investment at Over $30 Billion Valuation

Perplexity has emerged as a prominent challenger in AI-powered search, combining generative answers with links to online sources and expanding into agent-based products. A stake from Nvidia would underscore how the world’s leading AI-chip supplier is extending its reach beyond GPUs into software, talent and consumer applications, strengthening its influence across the broader artificial-intelligence ecosystem.

As of Aug. 25, 2026, Nvidia was in talks to participate in Perplexity’s latest funding round at a valuation exceeding $30 billion, or about NT$958.3 billion. The size of Nvidia’s potential investment has not been disclosed. Perplexity’s annualized revenue has grown significantly, but the startup continues to face intense competition in AI search and agents from the world’s largest technology companies.
