NVIDIA designs and manufactures graphics processing units (GPUs) and computing platforms used for gaming, data centers, and artificial intelligence. These products work by using parallel processing to handle complex mathematical calculations much faster than standard computer processors, supported by a software ecosystem that allows developers to build and run AI models. Unlike competitors that may focus solely on hardware, NVIDIA integrates its chips with specialized software and cloud services to create a complete environment for high-performance tasks. The company’s goal is to provide the underlying technology necessary to power advanced computing, from realistic video game graphics to autonomous vehicles and large-scale data analysis.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang declared that "AGI has arrived" whilst congratulating OpenAI on its newest model, Astra, released last Thursday. Astra was trained on Nvidia's chips and is described by OpenAI as the world's "most intelligent and aligned model". AGI, or artificial general intelligence, refers to AI systems that match or surpass human intelligence. OpenAI defines it as "highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at most economically valuable work". OpenAI president Greg Brockman said people will likely look back and think AGI was created "about this time". However, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently called AGI "a very poorly defined term" and "an irrelevant marketing term". Nvidia reported $96.2 billion in quarterly revenue in August, more than double the previous year, driven largely by demand for its AI chips.
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang claimed artificial general intelligence has arrived, citing OpenAI's latest ChatGPT model trained on his company's chips. NVIDIA now sells 72 chips in one box, wired to function as a unified system. Huang stated roughly 100,000 of these boxes trained OpenAI's new model, though he initially posted 300,000 before deleting and revising the figure without explanation. NVIDIA sold $89 billion of AI computers in three months, more than double the previous year. However, OpenAI has not confirmed AGI's arrival, and its president Greg Brockman stopped short of making such claims. A previously announced $100 billion partnership between the firms was never signed, and OpenAI has reportedly been buying fewer NVIDIA chips.
NVIDIA has taken a strategic investment in Lancium, a Blackstone-backed infrastructure company, to deploy its AI platform across power-ready data centres. The deal provides NVIDIA access to 4 gigawatts of leased capacity and a development pipeline exceeding 15 gigawatts. The partnership addresses a critical bottleneck in AI infrastructure, where compute demand has outpaced available power-ready capacity at gigawatt scale. NVIDIA's DSX MaxLPS technology enables up to 40% more GPU density within the same power budget, improving deployment economics. Lancium is backed by Blackstone Energy Transition Partners and Blackstone Multi-Asset Investing. The investment signals NVIDIA is moving beyond hardware sales to secure physical capacity for customers, recognising that compute demand requires corresponding power and space infrastructure. The arrangement allows NVIDIA customers faster access to large-scale infrastructure built specifically for demanding AI workloads.
AI stocks are predicted to remain strong investments over the next five years, with recent corporate guidance supporting this outlook. Broadcom reported 86% year-over-year revenue growth in its fiscal 2026 third quarter, with AI semiconductor revenue up 221%. The chipmaker projects AI chip revenue will double to $115 billion in fiscal 2027, then double again to $230 billion in fiscal 2028. Nvidia anticipates 70% year-over-year revenue growth in its fiscal 2028, citing supply chain issues as a limiting factor. Hyperscalers including Amazon, Microsoft, and Alphabet are generating substantial returns from their AI infrastructure investments through their cloud platforms. Investors are increasingly looking beyond chipmakers to smaller AI stocks for diversification opportunities.
Nvidia confirmed Thursday it will acquire AI model distribution platform Hugging Face for $12.9 billion. The company had reached $150 million in annualised revenue and raised nearly $395 million from investors including Amazon, Intel, Sequoia, and Coatue. The deal exemplifies how IPOs are becoming optional rather than obligatory for venture-backed companies. According to PitchBook research, the public offering is now "a tool for a specific problem" rather than an expected destination. Recent public market struggles support this shift. Chime went public at a steep markdown, whilst Figma has traded below its offer price for most of 2026. Only companies with capital needs too large for private buyers, such as OpenAI and Anthropic, now require public listings. Other successful exits include Stripe's acquisition of OpenRouter and SpaceX buying Cursor.
