With the exponential growth in AI model sizes, the demand for greater GPU computing clusters is undeniable. While Nvidia's capex phase seems poised to continue, it remains to be seen how long this trend will last and if demand for inferencing will meet expectations. As we move towards a more diversified revenue stream from enterprise and government markets, it's clear that AI adoption is on the rise. In the battle of hardware and software innovation, Nvidia is looking to maintain its edge through a one-year release cycle for data center GPUs and powerful ARM-based CPUs like Grace Hopper. It will be fascinating to see how these advancements shape the future of accelerated computing.
