Nvidia CEO: AI Now Needs ‘100 Times More’ Compute Than At ChatGPT Launch

Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang has set the stage for the future of artificial intelligence, highlighting that forthcoming AI technologies will require 100 times the computing power compared to their predecessors. This leap is fueled by advanced reasoning models that methodically ponder ‘how best to answer’ queries step by step.

Revolutionizing Reasoning With AI

In a recent conversation with CNBC’s Jon Fortt, Huang underscored the burgeoning demand for computing infrastructure, pointing to cutting-edge models like DeepSeek’s R1, OpenAI’s GPT-4, and xAI’s Grok 3 as pivotal catalysts.

Financial Milestones And Market Challenges

Nvidia’s financial tome shines this quarter, with results outpacing analyst predictions—revenue soaring by 78% year-on-year to a staggering $39.33 billion. Notably, data center revenue surged by 93% to $35.6 billion, underscoring the paramount role of Nvidia’s GPUs in AI workloads.

Despite these figures, Nvidia’s stock remains in a slump, suffering a 17% decline on January 27—triggered by speculation that firms like DeepSeek might achieve superior AI performance at reduced infrastructure costs. Huang, however, advocated that reasoning models necessitate more sophisticated chips—a domain where Nvidia remains a trailblazer.

Global Trade And Technological Advancements

Export restrictions are reshaping Nvidia’s footprint, especially in China, where revenues have halved. For developers, software innovations might circumvent these barriers, ensuring resilience across platforms, whether in supercomputers or personal devices.

Nvidia’s GB200, available in the U.S., outpaces its Chinese counterparts, producing AI content 60 times faster, offering significant advantages in AI technology evolution.

In the face of global constraints and rapid innovations, Nvidia remains the cornerstone of the AI revolution, driven by substantial infrastructure investments from tech giants worldwide.

UnitedHealth Removes DEI Mentions From Website Amid Growing Shift In Corporate Policies

UnitedHealth Group has significantly reduced its public focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) by removing related content from its website. 

The reasons for these changes remain unclear, and it’s uncertain whether the removal signals a shift in the company’s policies or simply a change in the language used. A UnitedHealth spokesperson, Tyler Mason, commented that the company continues to support a collaborative environment and mutual respect, which remain integral to its culture and mission to expand access to healthcare services.

The move coincides with a broader trend among major corporations, especially in the tech industry, retreating from DEI programs. This shift is partly in response to executive orders from the Trump administration targeting DEI initiatives in companies receiving federal funding. Some tech giants, including Google and OpenAI, have already scrubbed DEI-related content from their sites.
