Part 6/9:
Nvidia has repositioned itself over the decades, evolving from a graphics chip manufacturer into a pivotal player in the AI infrastructure market. The introduction of CUDA and the DGX systems signaled a seismic shift in computing paradigms, which are unmatched by their contemporaries. Huang emphasizes the need for new architectural innovations to handle the increasing computational demands of AI, noting that the modern data center itself is now viewed as an AI factory, generating “tokens” of computational power akin to raw materials for industry.
