Description:
Nvidias unmatched control of AI hardware forces even Amazon and Google into deference, as reliance on GPUs sustains its dominance.

FULL STORY ======================================================================Nvidia GPUs remain the unshakable backbone of global AI progress Amazon and Google discreetly notify Jensen Huang before revealing AI chip projects Cloud computing giants still cannot survive without Nvidias critical GPU supply

Nvidia has established a level of control over AI hardware which few other companies in the technology sector can match.

The companys GPUs have become the essential foundation for modern AI tools , large-scale cloud computing services, and data center workloads.

This dominance means competitors and partners alike are compelled to
recognize Nvidias influence in the industry. Deference from Amazon and Google

Large companies such as Amazon and Google even inform Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang ahead of announcements related to their own AI chip programs.

The Information notes, at the center of it all is Huang, to whom other leaders in the industry show unusual forms of deference.

Both companies are seeking to lessen dependence on Nvidia, yet they still choose to notify Huang first, reflecting his position in the industrys hierarchy.

Insiders suggest this deference arises because the cloud computing businesses of Amazon and Google cant survive without access to Nvidias GPUs.

While both companies explore their own in-house designs, the reality is that their largest AI projects remain reliant on Nvidias hardware.

The scale of demand is so vast that a single collaboration between OpenAI and Nvidia could consume four to five million GPUs.

Orders for the GB300 AI server have similarly been described as unimaginable by a Quanta AI executive.

Thus, in practice, even the largest firms cannot bypass Huangs awareness if their projects require millions of Nvidia GPUs .

Despite efforts from AMD and Intel, Nvidias lead in AI GPU technology appears secure. AMD has yet to close the gap, and Intel is often described as operating on the sidelines.

For now, Huang is seen as the AI GPU Godfather, a figure whose oversight of the sector makes it difficult for rivals to make progress without drawing his attention.

The concentration of power in a single company raises questions about how sustainable the current situation is.

If Amazon and Google succeed with their in-house designs, the balance could shift over time.

Yet the continued dependence on Nvidias GPUs shows how difficult it will be
to change the market's structure.
