Why Big Tech Is Finally Ditching Nvidia (And Making Its Own Chips Instead)

For three years, Nvidia owned the AI chip game. Every major tech company—Google, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft—basically had no choice but to buy their GPUs.

Nvidia Just Became Quantum Computing’s Unlikely Savior (And Nobody Saw It Coming)

Six months ago, Jensen Huang basically told the world that quantum computing was a 15-to-30-year problem. Quantum stocks tanked. The sector bled out. Everyone moved on to the next shiny thing. Then last week happened. On April 14—literally World Quantum Day, because the universe has a sense of timing—Nvidia dropped NVIDIA Ising, a family of open-source AI models designed to do something nobody else could: make quantum computers actually work.
