Do you think today's Al would exist without NVIDIA?

This short video showcases in 2016, Jensen Huang personally delivered a state-of-the-art AI supercomputer to Elon Musk. This powerful machine was specifically designed to propel AI reasearch - advancing Musk's ambitious projects - Tesla and SpaceX.

🪩 Nvidia revealed that the Las Vegas Hype Sphere is powered by 150 RTX A6000 GPUs. Each of them has 48GB of video memory - that's a total of 7200GB of memory. All this hardware is needed to drive 1.2 million LED panels outside and 16000x16000 screens inside. The total cost of the GPUs is over $1m.

Nvidia CEO: This is the largest GPU the world has ever seen and the total R&amp;D cost to build it was $10 billion.

I do, if Nvidia didn't exist there would be another.

Not a chance bruh... NVIDIA's GPUs are the backbone of modern AI.

AI has been a planned agenda for longer than most ppl think. DSRPAI 1956
