Executive Commentary
“NVIDIA is entering a virtuous cycle of AI,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO. “Blackwell sales are off the charts, and cloud GPUs are sold out. Compute demand keeps accelerating and compounding across training and inference — each growing exponentially. We’ve entered a new era where the AI ecosystem is scaling rapidly — with more foundation-model makers, startups, and industries adopting at once.”
