Nvidia

NVIDIA Corporation is an American technology company and the world’s leading designer of graphics processing units (GPUs) and AI accelerators. Founded in 1993 by Jensen Huang, Chris Malachowsky and Curtis Priem, and headquartered in Santa Clara, California, Nvidia originally built GPUs for gaming and professional visualisation before becoming the central supplier of compute for the modern artificial-intelligence boom. Its data-center GPUs — paired with the CUDA software platform — power the training and inference of large language models at virtually every major AI lab and cloud provider. Nvidia also builds chips for autonomous vehicles, robotics and scientific computing. The combination of dominant hardware and a deep software moat has made it one of the most valuable publicly traded companies in the world, and a bellwether for the entire AI and semiconductor sector.
