"Nvidia controls the vast majority of the market for GPUs, the chips used to train and run large AI models like ChatGPT and Anthropic's Claude. Its CUDA software platform, which lets developers write code optimized specifically for Nvidia hardware, has become the industry's de facto standard, reinforcing that dominance."
"One key question is whether competitors are beginning to gain real traction. For example, days after committing to deploy millions of Nvidia GPUs, Meta this week announced a multibillion-dollar deal to buy chips from AMD. The agreement also gives Meta the option to take up to a 10% stake in AMD, echoing a similar investment AMD secured from OpenAI last October."
"Cloud giants are also working to reduce their dependence on Nvidia-even as they remain among its largest customers. Amazon has begun deploying thousands of its own AI chips across a sprawling network of data centers in Indiana, where they are being used by Anthropic. Google, meanwhile, has struck a series of deals with Anthropic and is reportedly supplying chips for several of the startup's new data centers."
Nvidia's quarterly earnings have become critical market events since the generative AI boom began in 2023. The company maintains dominant market position through GPU chip control and its CUDA software platform, which has become the industry standard. Nvidia continues rapid innovation with successive chip generations from Hopper to Blackwell to Rubin. However, investors are watching for signs of competitive pressure. Meta recently announced a multibillion-dollar chip purchase from AMD with an option for a 10% stake, while cloud giants like Amazon and Google are developing proprietary AI chips to reduce Nvidia dependence. These developments suggest potential market share erosion despite Nvidia remaining a major supplier.
