Nvidia Ships Fancy New Chips, Promises They’ll Save the AI Apocalypse
KEY POINTS
- •Nvidia shipped its first Vera Rubin chips in early 2026, aiming to triple AI speed and efficiency compared to previous Blackwell models.
- •CEO Jensen Huang revealed a near $10 billion investment in Anthropic and a forthcoming deal with OpenAI, solidifying Nvidia’s AI dominance.
- •The company cautioned about future risks, highlighting potential shortages of data center energy and capital needed for infrastructure expansion.
In a flex that makes sci-fi look sluggish, Nvidia announced shipping its shiny new Vera Rubin chips this week, promising cloud builders speeds tripling Blackwell and making AI five times more inferentially efficient—or as CFO Colette Kress puts it, ‘We expect every cloud model builder to deploy Vera Rubin.’ CEO Jensen Huang played matchmaker for AI giants, teasing a billion-dollar-ish deal with OpenAI and spreading GPUs like Meta’s new boyfriend’s reputation. Meanwhile, Nvidia’s quietly worried about data center energy and cash shortages — basically preparing for the AI party’s electric bill while also urging everyone to wait for juicy Groq updates at GTC in March. Quantum computing? Nah, just faster panic.

Nvidia’s basically trying to turn AI into a frenemy circle: ‘Let’s all use my chips’ while buying stakes in their competition. That’s corporate trust for you.
Ship new chips, shut concerns, tease Groq, flirt with OpenAI — Jensen Huang’s checklist for ‘How to rule AI without breaking a sweat.’
