Every summer, Jensen Huang used to host Nvidia’s latest crop of interns at his Silicon Valley mansion, opening up his house and pool area, as well as his collection of supercars.
At a tech conference in Taiwan this month, Huang – who was born on the island – was mobbed by crowds, posing for endless selfies and dancing with influencers. In one case he was asked to sign his autograph on a female fan’s top across her chest; after wondering aloud whether this was a good idea, Huang complied.
Hinton would later describe it as the “big bang moment” for today’s AI movement. The program, built on two Nvidia chips bought on Amazon, blew away the competition in an annual machine vision competition and its underlying architecture spawned the deep learning craze.Nvidia’s chips being perfect for machine vision was something of a happy accident, but Huang capitalised.
The rewards have now become obvious. Last month Nvidia said that revenues had risen by 262 per cent in the last quarter, to $US26 billion. Profits have climbed more than sevenfold, from $US2 billion to $US15 billion. The waiting list for the company’s superpowered chips runs into next year. Matching his standards can be exerting. Huang is known to wake as early as 4am . Huang toldmagazine this year that his exercise regime largely consists of squats while brushing his teeth.
