Nvidia's "virtuous circle" in tech refers to the company's self-reinforcing cycle of innovation and growth, primarily driven by its proprietary CUDA architecture2. This cycle not only cements Nvidia's dominance in the GPU market but also accelerates advancements in AI and computing-heavy applications, resulting in a continuously expanding ecosystem that drives technological advancement and market dominance2.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang highlighted the company's focus on maintaining its position in the AI chip market by transforming into a data center-focused company, creating new markets for AI such as industrial robotics, and partnering with computer makers and cloud providers. Huang emphasized the low total cost of ownership of Nvidia's AI chips, suggesting their performance and cost efficiency as key competitive advantages.
Nvidia's stock surge since last year's meeting can be attributed to its advantage in artificial intelligence chips, a result of a bet the company made more than 10 years ago, investing billions in AI and building a team of thousands of engineers. The surge was also driven by the company's transformation into a data center-focused company and its strategy to create new markets for its AI, such as in industrial robotics.
