The Cracks in the Fortress
The partner in question is OpenAI, the brains behind ChatGPT and arguably the most important AI customer on the planet. Nvidia’s recent financial filings quietly admitted that its landmark deal with them isn't set in stone. To me, this is far more than just a bit of legal housekeeping. It’s a glaring signal that the AI world is hedging its bets. While Nvidia is dealing in maybes, its rival AMD has been busy securing confirmed, tangible contracts from the very same people.
What does this really tell us? It suggests that even the biggest players are getting nervous about putting all their eggs in one very expensive, Nvidia-shaped basket. If the poster child for the AI revolution is actively shopping around, it’s a clear sign that the era of single-supplier dominance could be drawing to a close. The fortress, it seems, has a few cracks appearing in its walls.
