NVIDIA\u2019s stock just hit a record high, closing at $138.07. If you\u2019re wondering why this is significant, let me take you through a clearer view of what\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n
NVIDIA is now the second most valuable company in the U.S., with a market cap of $3.4 trillion, right on the heels of Apple. In simpler terms, NVIDIA\u2019s meteoric rise is no accident\u2014it\u2019s tied to something much bigger: artificial intelligence, or AI for short.<\/p>\n
And here\u2019s why that matters.<\/p>\n
NVIDIA\u2019s surge in stock value (180% in 2023 so far) is because it controls a staggering portion of the AI chip market\u2014anywhere from 70% to 95%, depending on whose numbers you trust. What does that mean for you? Well, nearly every major AI development you\u2019ve heard about\u2014think OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT, self-driving cars, or the AI systems running complex data centers\u2014is powered by NVIDIA\u2019s technology.<\/p>\n
OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, just secured a massive $6.6 billion funding round<\/a>. Why does this matter for NVIDIA? Because OpenAI is buying up NVIDIA\u2019s AI chips like there\u2019s no tomorrow. In fact, CEO Jensen Huang recently said NVIDIA\u2019s next-generation Blackwell chips<\/a> are already sold out for the next 12 months. Think about that: products that aren\u2019t even out yet have waiting lists. That\u2019s what we\u2019d call \u201cinsane\u201d demand, as Huang himself put it.<\/p>\n
