Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang<\/a> said he wishes he’d invested more in Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence startup, xAI<\/a>, calling it one of the few opportunities he regrets not going bigger on.<\/p>\n

Huang’s comments came during a CNBC interview in which he was asked about reports that Nvidia<\/a> was helping finance xAI’s latest fundraising, and whether such deals amounted to “circular financing” \u2014 with Nvidia lending money to AI startups that, in turn, buy its chips.<\/p>\n

“I’m super excited about the financing opportunity they’re doing,” Huang said in the Wednesday interview. “The only regret I have about xAI \u2014 we’re an investor already \u2014 is that I didn’t give him more money.”<\/p>\n

Huang praised Musk’s track record, saying the Tesla<\/a> and SpaceX<\/a> founder has a knack for building transformative companies. “Almost everything Elon’s part of, you really want to be part of as well,” he said.<\/p>\n

Huang described xAI as part of a new generation of AI firms, alongside OpenAI and Anthropic, that are reshaping computing as models become more capable and commercially viable.<\/p>\n

“For the last several years, they were generating tokens at a loss,” he said. “But in the last several months, it’s become clear the technology is now reasoning, doing research, using tools \u2014 it’s actually useful. The tokens are profitable now.”<\/p>\n

The Nvidia CEO said that the current wave of AI investment is “dramatically different” from the dot-com era, and is fueled by real, trillion-dollar demand.<\/p>\n

“Back then, all the internet companies combined were maybe $30 or $40 billion in size,” Huang said. “If you look at the hyperscalers now, that’s about $2.5 trillion of business already operating today.”<\/p>\n

He added that the shift from CPU-based computing to GPU-powered generative AI is just beginning \u2014 a “multi-trillion-dollar buildout” that Nvidia is racing to support.<\/p>\n

“My favorite enterprise AI service is Cursor,” Huang said. “Every one of our engineers, 100%, is now assisted by AI coders, and our productivity has gone up incredibly.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said he wishes he’d invested more in Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence startup, xAI, calling…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":209516,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[191,74],"class_list":{"0":"post-209515","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-computing","8":"tag-computing","9":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209515","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=209515"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209515\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/209516"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=209515"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=209515"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=209515"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
