According to Cointelegraph, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang emphasized the escalating demand for computing resources driven by the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) models. Speaking at a live event in Las Vegas, Huang described the situation as an "intense race" towards the next technological frontier. He highlighted the fierce competition within the AI sector, noting that the computational requirements for AI are increasing exponentially. Huang stated that the demand for Nvidia GPUs is soaring as AI models grow by an order of magnitude each year. He remarked, "Everybody's trying to get to the next level and somebody is getting to the next level. And so therefore, all of it is a computing problem. The faster you compute, the sooner you can get to the next level of the next frontier."
The rapid growth and adoption of AI have prompted several Bitcoin mining companies to shift their focus towards AI, either partially or entirely, over the past few years. This shift is partly due to the increasing difficulty of Bitcoin mining, while AI offers miners an opportunity to optimize their resources and potentially increase their revenues beyond Bitcoin. The rising demand for AI computing power could make this transition even more appealing for Bitcoin miners.
During his address, Huang also discussed Nvidia's next-generation Rubin Vera chips, which are currently in full production and on schedule. He explained that the combination of Rubin and Vera chips, designed to work in tandem, will deliver five times greater AI computing performance compared to previous models. This advancement underscores Nvidia's commitment to staying at the forefront of AI technology and meeting the growing computational demands of the industry.
