2023 is the first year of the AI big model, which should not be an exaggeration.
Since ChatGPT became popular, the world's ChatGPT has become popular, and in the Chinese market alone, dozens have emerged, although many people say that some are ChatGPT shells, but it is enough to show the popularity of AI large models.
However, from the perspective of the entire AI large model track, there is no winner at present, even if it is ChatGPT, it is difficult to say victory, and there are still many variables.
But regardless of the AI big models, dead or alive, there is a big winner who has been born, that is, NVIDIA's Huang Jenxun.
On May 30, Nvidia's market capitalization exceeded the trillion-dollar mark intraday, becoming the ninth company in the world with a market capitalization of more than $1 trillion, and the first chip stock with a market value of more than one trillion yuan, as well as the chip company with the highest market capitalization.
In 2023, in just 5 months, NVIDIA's market value will increase by 175% (about $640 billion). Its founder, Jensen Huang, is now worth more than $35 billion (about 250 billion yuan).
The reason why Nvidia performs so well is that behind the AI large model is the support of GPU computing power, and these current AI large models are basically using Nvidia's GPUs and are the preferred chips in the AI field.
In addition, Nvidia not only provides high-end GPUs optimized for AI tasks such as deep learning and machine learning, such as the H100 model, but also develops custom CPUs designed to work with GPUs, such as the Grace Hopper model, and also builds its own programming language and software, forming a complete AI ecosystem.
And these are AMD's GPUs that cannot be replaced, and other GPUs cannot be replaced.
Huang Jenxun is a native of Taiwan, China, born in Taiwan Province in 1963. Later, when he was 9 years old, he went to the United States with his family, and after graduating from college, he worked at AMD and helped AMD design chips. Later, when he was 29 years old, he quit his job with friends and founded NVIDIA for $40,000.
Unexpectedly, 30 years later, Nvidia's market value has actually pushed to nearly $1 trillion, second only to technology giants such as Apple, Microsoft, Google and Amazon.
As AI continues to be popular, it is estimated that Nvidia will continue to rise in the future, and Huang Jenxun's net worth will continue to increase, and Nvidia is also expected to become a new hegemon in the chip industry with the help of the AI boom.
