The main news piece as of late was Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's comments at GTC Paris, stating that "quantum computing is reaching an inflection point" and that the world is "within reach" of using quantum computers for complex problems. These words starkly contradict the tone we heard from Mr. Huang before - hence the reaction across the niche.

The Nvidia CEO gave his continued bullish assessment of artificial intelligence, calling it an “incredible technology” and saying it should be seen as infrastructure, just like electricity.

Semiconductor companies such as Arm and Nvidia Corp. are increasingly warning that export bans will compel China to develop its own industry and could ultimately backfire on the U.S.

Wearing his signature biker jacket and mobbed by fans for selfies, the Nvidia CEO cut the figure of a tech rockstar as he took the stage at VivaTech in Paris. “AI is the greatest equalizer of people the world has ever created,” Huang said, kicking off one of Europe’s biggest technology industry fairs.

Nvidia designed a new architecture called Blackwell to power those inference workloads, and it produces up to 40 times more performance than the Hopper architecture. But it might not be enough, because Huang says some reasoning models consume a staggering 1,000 times more tokens (words, punctuation, and symbols) than the old one-shot LLMs.
