NVIDIA has just become the first public company in the world to be worth 5 trillion, thanks to the sale of its GPU chips, largely being used for AI.
There is a ton of drama coming up with OpenAI, including US President Donald Trump expected to meet with President Xi Jinping on Thursday talking about selling NVIDIA chips specifically as as China has banned them, and there's a whole bunch of stuff going down in this space.
NVIDIA is on an absolute tear.
Is this a bubble?
Is it going to pop?
How did we get to this place?
We're gonna be talking about all of this on the podcast today.
Before we do, I wanted to mention if you've ever wanted to try all of the different AI models that I talk about on the show.
I'd love for you to check out my platform.
It's called AIbox.ai.
We built a playground that essentially allows you to use all of the top AI models.
There's over 40 on there, so you can get things like all the OpenAI Anthropic you know Cohair DeepSeek Google Gemini, all of that on there.
But you can also get a bunch of really cool image models.
You can get things like Black Forest Labs, Ideogram, and of course, OpenAI's image generation.
And then if you do stuff with audio, we have 11 labs built in as well.
So, instead of having subscriptions to all of these different platforms for 20 bucks a month, you get access to everything all in one place.
You can compare results side by side to test what model gives you the best response for different things, what image generation model might take your prompt to make the best image, and you don't have to get a subscription to Eleven Labs, OpenAI or everything else all combined.
So it's all on there.
Go check it out.
It is AIbox.ai.
I'll leave a link in the description.
All right, let's get into what's going on with NVIDIA.
So the thing that I mentioned at the beginning is that their shares are up more than 5 today, and that's to over 212.
I mean, if you look at NVIDIA's run over the last five years, it's on an absolutely insane run.
It's up over 1500 in the last five years and it's crazy to me to think that just at the end of 2022, October 2022, you could get a share of Nvidia for 11 today.
It's at over $200.
A lot of people said back in January, so at the beginning of this year, it was at like $142.
It crashed all the way down to $94.
And the sentiment on Twitter if I'm being 100 honest for all the influencers I followed at the time was like wow, they're giving away free money.
Nvidia shares crashed.
Go buy it.
And everyone purchased it, myself included.
I wish, of course, I had purchased it in 2022, but I did get some in April of this year.
So that was great.
And since then, since April, we've went from $94 to $207.
So anyone jumping in at that moment would have doubled their money since April, which is fantastic.
Now the question is, will it keep going up?
How did it get there?
What's it going to be doing?
All of this is because today or on Thursday, Donald Trump is gonna be meeting with Xi Jinping and they're going to they're expected, among obviously many other things, to discuss the to discuss all of the new chips that Nvidia is rolling out, specifically their Blackwell chips.
So with all of that, investors obviously got really excited.
In addition, there was a comment made by the CEO of Nvidia, Jensen Huang, who said that the company expects 500 billion in AI chip sales and that it's building seven new supercomputers for the US.
In areas like security, energy and science.
So you know, they kind of put this out on their newsroom, but they're highlighting what they're planning on building.
You know, US government labs and the nation's leading companies are all kind of getting together and investing in advanced AI infrastructure to power AI factories and accelerate US AI development.
With that, you just see them like making these big announcements of not just chips, but like the full data centers that are going to have to be filled with chips.
And you just see this is not slowing down.
In addition, there is a big high profile AI robot company that just came out today with a new company that kind of did their launch.
And you start to think All of these robots walking around are going to use an incredible amount of training power to make really powerful humanoid robots.
Nvidia is just going to keep winning in this space.
Specifically all the projects that they're doing to build all these new supercomputers are going to require thousands of Nvidia GPUs.
On Tuesday, they said that they had invested $1 billion.
So this is kind of a new area.
So it just feels like Nvidia, everyone's like, oh, it's a bubble.
They're going to max out how much they can sell to open AI and Google, right?
They just keep adding new things.
So they just announced that they invested a billion dollars into Nokia to accelerate an AI-ran transition from 5G to 6G.
And so it just feels like they're adding new areas.
There's all of the data centers that they seem to be spearheading big investments into.
There seems to be partnerships with, you know, telecom now, right?
And these kind of areas where they're going to start using AI to And NVIDIA is going to be helping to power, like cell service and other other main infrastructure projects.
So this is gonna be really interesting.
They said specifically quote to enable communication service providers to launch AI native 5G, advanced and 6G networks on Nvidia's platforms.
What does it even mean to have 5G and 6G running on Nvidia's platforms?
I don't know 100%, but evidently they're building tools that will use their chips to run that.
They've identified like a big new technological move.
I think at some point, once the company is worth 5 billion or 5 trillion, they could just start saying well, look at all these other big industries.
Let's just go create products that service those industries.
We have kind of this really high powered chip edge and we're gonna apply it into those industries.
And they're able to just start gobbling up more and more market share.
And they have so much money that they can basically fund any infrastructure projects that they want.
All of this is coming just three months after NVIDIA became the first company to cross the 4 trillion milestone.
So this is only three months.
The New York Times wrote this big article where they're like NVIDIA becomes the first public company worth 4 trillion.
NVIDIA spent three decades building a business worth $1 trillion.
And the growth rate is absolutely incredible on this.
Three months later, we are now at So their stock has surged more than 50% so far just this year.
Most of this is going because of their GPUs, and everyone has basically this insatiable appetite to purchase GPUs.
They're going to be using all of the data centers for training, all of the LLMs inference and a lot more.
And they're really valuable.
Why?
Like why can Nvidia sell them for so much money?
Because they're scarce.
And essentially by trading them directly into an ever inflating data center scheme, Nvidia is making sure that they always are scarce.
They're always hard to get.
And you get comments from people like Sam Altman on this saying, like you know, He can hardly get his hands on enough GPUs from them.
And so it just feels like there's an insatiable demand from these AI companies who feel like the more GPUs they have, the better their AI models get.
So it's really a race that all of them are doing as well.
So more generally, of course, you could say that tech stocks are way up this year on optimism that AI is making this big revolution.
But I think NVIDIA is just one of those companies that continues to win.
And it's not just because of the hype. nvidia gen like legitimately is selling insane uh insane amounts of chips so with all of that uh said over the last year investors have um been encouraged by this you know these multi-billion dollar deals a lot of them are you know have nvidia at the center a lot of people have kind of criticized nvidia as being a bubble because nvidia will do all sorts of interesting things for example in september they said that they're going to invest 100 billion dollars into open ai and What does OpenAI go and do after they get $100 billion from Nvidia?
Well, they're gonna go spend that hundred billion dollars to go buy more chips from nvidia.
So some people say that they're you know they're they're um, they're cooking the books or they're round tripping um, and they're you know, they give you money and then you give it right back to them.
So what is what's the difference?
Uh, they're doing a bunch of interesting things where nvidia is actually getting equity in open ai right, so they are giving them this hundred billion dollars, taking equity in the company and then making them the chips.
And because their company keeps growing uh, they're able to, you know, investment money on the open market.
And then they're able to use that and pour it in.
And like, that's the money that they spend.
At the end of the day, I think the big debate is like are they just?
Is it kind of like this big bubble where they're all just patting each other's backs?
And that's why the stock price keeps going up.
And I know you can make an argument for that, but I also would make the argument that there is a really a true demand from open AI in a lot of these companies and, whether they can finance it or not, they want more chips.
There is a real demand.
They've seen that the more chips they have, the better their models get.
And so because there is that demand and there's obviously a crazy demand for the AI technology that OpenAI is selling, OpenAI is willing to do these deals.
And because of these kind of clever quote unquote, round tripping or whatever you want to call it, because of these clever deals, they can.
They can basically supply the demand.
They're using that as a mechanism to supply demand that already exists, where some people would argue like look, if no one was willing to pay the 100 billion to open AI, then they wouldn't be able to buy the chips and then there wouldn't be kind of this demand.
But I think at the end of the day, consumers are demanding better AI and this is a solution to that.
Everyone wants to win the AI race.
Open AI has 800 million weekly active users, an absolutely staggering number.
And getting close to a billion weekly active users from OpenAI just means that there is an insane amount of obvious demand and they're just going to try to do everything they can.
So, with all of that, OpenAI and NVIDIA have both said that they intend to deploy 10 gigawatts worth of NVIDIA systems to power OpenAI systems.
Right now, OpenAI NVIDIA has a $5 trillion market cap.
It's worth more.
Get this.
This is just absolutely crazy to me.
NVIDIA is worth more than the aggregated market caps of all countries.
If you exclude the United States, China, and Japan, NVIDIA is worth more than all other countries.
So India has a $4.5 trillion market cap.
India has been beaten by NVIDIA.
The UK, 4.1 trillion.
Canada, 3.6 trillion.
France, 3.3 trillion.
Germany, $2.9 trillion.
Taiwan, $2.6 trillion.
Switzerland, $2.6 trillion.
Saudi Arabia, $2.5 trillion.
You could go down the list, but basically Nvidia is worth more than every other company other than United States, China and Japan.
And I'll give you a little bit of perspective on that.
United States is worth $70 trillion.
China is worth $11 trillion.
But come on.
I mean, this is like all the companies inside of those countries.
But come on.
Nvidia is worth 50% of all of the companies in China? that are publicly traded.
Like what?
That is absolute insanity.
Or it's basically worth every company in Japan publicly traded company in Japan Nvidia's worth that.
I mean even the 70 trillion in the United States.
Five trillion of that being in one company is just absolutely crazy.
So these numbers are getting bigger and bigger.
I will definitely keep you up to date on all of that.
It's all fueled by AI.
And if you think the bubble's gonna pop here, Personally, I really just don't see it.
We're on the verge of humanoid robots.
We're on the verge of so many of these data centers being built out.
I feel like NVIDIA has more room to grow.
Of course, this is not financial advice, but I've just seen a lot of people saying that NVIDIA was in a bubble a year ago and two years ago.
At some point, will the bubble pop?
Yeah, probably.
So at some point the bubble will pop.
And I think that is a good thing to remember.
Now, if you talk to someone like Jeff Bezos, he says, yes, we're in bubble, but it's a good thing.
And he compares it to in the two thousands, when tons of healthcare companies came out and there's like kind of this healthcare bubble, eventually it popped.
But from that ton, all the money that had been dumped into there, we've got a bunch of really good drugs out of it.
He compares it to that.
So the bubble is going to pop, but we're going to get all this amazing AI technology out of it.
So we're going to see where all of this goes.
But for the time being, it seems like NVIDIA is just continuing to fuel an absolutely insane economy.
So I'll keep you up to date with all of that.
As always, make sure to go and check out AIboxai if you want to try and use all of these incredible AI models that we talked about on the show.
It's only $20 a month.
You get access to over 40 models.
