Nvidia Reports Record Third Quarter Revenue of $18.12 Billion, Credits AI Hardware Sales for Growth

Nvidia has reported a record third quarter revenue of $18.12 billion, with a market cap of $1.22 trillion. The company's earnings have increased by 34% over the last quarter and 206% over Q3 2022. Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang, attributed the growth to AI hardware sales, with AI startups, consumer internet companies, and cloud service providers being the "first movers." However, the recent partial ban on chip exports to certain countries, including China, may cause the company's business in China to decline significantly in the fourth quarter, but Nvidia believes those losses will be offset by strong growth in other regions.

Microsoft and Nvidia Stocks Reach All-Time Highs Amid Turmoil in AI Sector

Microsoft and Nvidia stocks both hit all-time highs on Nov. 20, with Microsoft's surge potentially attributed to the hiring of former OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. Altman was recently ousted from OpenAI, but has reportedly agreed to head up a new AI division at Microsoft. Both Microsoft and Nvidia have seen significant growth in recent years due to the explosion of the AI field, with other notable AI stocks also demonstrating high yield performance. However, Altman's status at Microsoft and the Nov. 20 highs' potential to rise, hold, or falter remain uncertain.

Nvidia's Masterpiece X AI Application Aims to Revolutionize 3D Modeling, but Geopolitical Challenges Loom

Nvidia has partnered with Masterpiece Studio to release Masterpiece X, a new application that aims to revolutionize 3D modeling. The software utilizes generative AI and can be used in the cloud with no local hardware or software required. While the software is not yet perfect, it shows vast potential and exciting advancements on the horizon. However, Nvidia faces geopolitical hurdles that threaten its dominance in hardware, particularly with the US government's efforts to tighten restrictions on AI chip exports to China.

Nvidia's Market Cap Overtakes Entire Crypto Market as Shares Hit All-Time High

Nvidia's market capitalization of $1.18 trillion surpassed the entire crypto market's value of $1.09 trillion this week. The chipmaker's stock hit an all-time high of $502 after reporting $6.2 billion in net profit on $13.5 billion in total revenue for its second fiscal quarter. <br>

UK to Spend $130 Million on Computer Chips for AI Research Resource

The British Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, is investing $130 million to purchase computer chips for artificial intelligence, as part of his plan to make the UK an AI tech hub. The government is sourcing chips from NVIDIA, Intel, and AMD, and is in the process of ordering 5,000 NVIDIA graphic processing units.

AIWORLD and NVIDIA reached a strategic cooperation agreement

on August 12th, according to official sources, AIWORLD has reached a strategic cooperation agreement with NVIDIA. Through cooperation with NVIDIA, AIWORLD can provide customers with better cluster services in small and medium-sized AI training and service model businesses. The cluster is supported by newer GPUs on the market and is connected through a low-latency RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) network. This solution provides a high-performance and cost-effective method for AI model training, which can effectively help developers reduce early development costs and make AI training and deployment more flexible and efficient.

Nvidia's "Perfusion" AI technique reduces storage requirements for customized text-to-image models

Nvidia has created a new AI image generation technique called "Perfusion" that allows for personalized text-to-image models with reduced storage requirements. By making small updates to the internal representations of a text-to-image model, Perfusion enables minor, parameterized edits to the cross-attention layers to modify how text inputs get translated into images. This method allows for personalization of AI models using only 100KB per concept, making it possible to deploy highly customized AI art models. The authors plan to release the code for Perfusion publicly in the future, despite some limitations.&nbsp;

US Big Techs Form Alliance to Develop Standards for 3D Graphics in the Metaverse

Nvidia, Apple, Adobe, Autodesk, and Pixar Animation Studios have joined forces to establish the Alliance for OpenUSD, which aims to promote the development of 3D graphics standards in the metaverse. OpenUSD is an open data format created by Pixar that allows graphic artists to collaborate on large-scale 3D animation projects. The Alliance for OpenUSD will work with the Joint Development Foundation to standardize the technology. Apple has recently launched the Vision Pro AR/VR headset and partnered with Disney to bring fans closer to their favorite characters in film and TV.

Cloud startup CoreWeave secures over $400 million in funding, builds world's fastest AI supercomputer with Nvidia, and opens $1.6 billion data center in Texas

CoreWeave, a cloud startup specializing in GPU-accelerated workloads, is set to make billions off the generative AI boom with its GPU cloud. The company has received over $400 million in funding, built a $1.6 billion data center in Texas, and partnered with Nvidia to create the world's fastest AI supercomputer. CoreWeave originally started as an Ethereum mining company but pivoted to offering GPU acceleration at scale. The company saw a surge in interest when access to GPUs became scarce last year, leading to significant investments from venture capitalists and companies like Microsoft. CoreWeave expects to generate $500 million in revenue this year and already has nearly $2 billion contracted for next year. The company has also benefited from Nvidia diverting its latest AI server chips away from top cloud providers like AWS and towards CoreWeave. Despite competition developing their own AI chips, CoreWeave believes GPUs will remain crucial for cutting-edge AI models for at least another two years.
