Tech News Roundup: Nvidia CEO Addresses OpenAI Investment, SpaceX Plans Orbital Data Centers, and More

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang refuted reports suggesting his dissatisfaction with OpenAI and reaffirmed the company's commitment to a substantial investment in the ChatGPT creator, according to The Verge on January 31, 2026. This announcement came amidst speculation that the deal, initially projected to be a $100 billion investment in September, might not materialize.

In other news, SpaceX submitted a request to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on Friday, seeking approval to deploy a constellation of 1 million solar-powered data center satellites into orbit, The Verge reported. The company argues that this initiative presents a more cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional land-based data centers. While the FCC is unlikely to approve such a large network, SpaceX has historically requested approval for an unrealistically high number of satellites.

Meanwhile, TechCrunch offered a glimpse into the San Francisco headquarters of Physical Intelligence, a startup focused on developing advanced robot brains. The office space, described as a "giant concrete box," features tables laden with monitors, robotics parts, and assembled robotic arms.

For consumers, The Verge highlighted several deals, including discounts on the AirPods 4 and Google's 4K streamer. Savings were also available on Apple TV Plus, the latest Zelda game, and Qi2 charging pucks.

In gaming news, The Verge reviewed "Cassette Boy," a top-down adventure game inspired by retro classics like "The Legend of Zelda." The game features a perspective-shifting twist.
