The scale of the capex commitment and the explicit memory focus put SK Hynix, SK Telecom and SK Square inside NVIDIA's next-buildout roadmap, not just alongside it.
Jensen Huang's CES-style framing of AI as universal infrastructure is now the company's standing sales pitch; the question is whether adoption curves keep pace with that ambition.
The headline number is the price cut, not the benchmark: matching top-tier model performance at roughly half the per-token cost reframes the AI competition as a margin war, not a capability race.
The coalition argues frontier open-weight models belong alongside closed ones in the US stack, a stance that puts Nvidia's CEO in an unusual alliance with open-source advocates ahead of federal AI…
