Nvidia is a US chip company that designs GPUs and AI computing platforms, and its CUDA software stack is widely used to train and run AI models. Recent coverage has centered on its stock and valuation: Apple overtook Nvidia as the world's most valuable company on Oct. 30, and Nvidia shares fell as much as 5.3% that day, with FQ2 revenue of $96 billion, up 106% year over year. Nvidia also plans a $1 billion investment in Naver for a 4.54% stake.

The 2026 Inference Hardware Revolution

By 2026 the AI focus shifted from training to inference: reasoning models, chain-of-thought outputs and agentic AI have sharply increased inference load, prompting vendors like Tensordyne to build inference chips (Napier) and Nvidia to call it an "inflection point of inference" at GTC 2026. Data centers and vendors are adjusting products and investments for continuous, high-volume inference.

Huang says Nvidia could grow 70% next year

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang reiterated at a Goldman Sachs conference that the company expects revenue to grow 70% next year, arguing Nvidia delivers massive interconnected GPU systems rather than consumer chips. He said one 36 Grace + 72 Blackwell system is growing 27% month-over-month; analysts expect this fiscal year’s revenue near $400 billion, so 70% growth implies about $680 billion.

NVIDIA: robotaxis are physical AI's breakthrough

NVIDIA says the global robotaxi market could reach $400 billion by 2035 with over 6 million commercial vehicles. Scaling fleets requires massive compute; NVIDIA offers an open platform—from DGX training systems to simulation and in-vehicle computing—and says major commercial robotaxi programs use its stack.
