About this listen
Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang has had a blockbuster few days that could define his legacy for years to come. According to Yahoo Finance and multiple outlets, Nvidia’s market cap soared past five trillion dollars for the first time in history just this Wednesday, a milestone no other company has achieved. It was Huang’s keynote at the GTC 2025 event on Tuesday that really lit the fuse, as he showcased Nvidia’s latest advances in AI, supercomputing, and strategic partnerships—cementing his status as a visionary at the center of the global tech boom.
Huang was all over the headlines thanks to his GTC keynote streamed live from Washington, DC, where he talked about Nvidia’s role in shaping generative AI, quantum computing, robotics, and new industrial applications. The main buzz centered on his unveiling of next-generation GPU architecture, the new AI-Q Blueprint for enterprise models, and collaborations with international partners like UAE’s G42, Boom Supersonic, Foxconn, and Amazon Robotics. There were huge hints about ambitious plans to build seven new supercomputers for the U.S. government and to supply chips destined for agentic AI and self-driving vehicle platforms, both in America and abroad.
Social media practically melted down during and after the GTC keynote, with clips of Huang’s remarks circulating on X, Instagram, TikTok, and even Reddit. His address was widely described as ‘America’s next Apollo moment,’ with Huang framing Nvidia's innovations as enabling the next leap for civilization. Major personalities in tech posted reactions, and the Nvidia CEO was trending across platforms.
On the international scene, Semafor reports that Huang’s star power took South Korea by storm last Thursday. He appeared alongside Hyundai's Chung Eui-sun and Samsung’s Lee Jae-yong at a local fried chicken joint—dropping the leather jacket for a simple black shirt, linking arms for a soju and beer toast, and handing out kimbap to throngs of fans outside. The Korea trip was more than a photo op: Nvidia locked in new partnerships to supply chips for Korean self-driving cars and next-gen tech products.
In business circles, Huang has been notably bullish on AI infrastructure spending. Quoted by CNBC and the Times of India, he reassured investors that the astronomical capex being pumped in by Google, Amazon, Meta, and others is essential, likening it to building the internet and cloud—laying the groundwork for a decades-long transformation. He stressed this is not reckless, but a necessary 'virtuous cycle' that is now self-sustaining, predicting Nvidia is poised for $500 billion in AI chip orders and reaffirming the company’s strategic bets with partners like OpenAI, Intel, and Nokia.
Flipping to a more personal note, Benzinga captured Huang sharing reflections on his early career, explaining why he cherished his first dishwashing job, challenging the "find your passion" trope and instead preaching the value of commitment and perseverance—a glimpse into the mindset that helped him build Nvidia from startup to a global titan.
