For his two-hour long keynote address at Nvidia’s GTC developers conference yesterday at the packed SAP Center in San Jose, CEO Jensen Huang was clad in a black leather jacket that was just a bit more rock and roll than the plain versions he has sported over the past few years. With a few silver zippers here, a little shine and texture there, the jacket offered a small clue that, while Huang joked that he hoped the audience realized the gathering was not a concert, Nvidia is one of the past year’s biggest AI rock stars.
But Huang didn’t tout the company’s stock price, which has skyrocketed since OpenAI’s ChatGPT was released in November 2022 and generative AI exploded — with its accompanying hunger for Nvidia’s GPUs. There was no need to mention generative AI models require thousands of GPUs to run — and Nvidia holds over 80% of the GPU market, according to John Peddie Research. Or that OpenAI reportedly used 10,000 Nvidia GPUs to train ChatGPT. Or that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently said the company plans to buy 350,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs.
