    TLDR

    A September 7 post portrays Nvidia’s strategy as backing nearly every layer of AI—chips, energy, infrastructure, data, large language models and applications—rather than picking a single winner. It cites a $20 billion valuation for Mercor and a rumored $30 billion valuation for Perplexity, and argues that open-weight model use drives demand for more computing power.

    @TradingVCsNVIDIA IS BETTING ON THE RACE, NOT THE HORSE 🏇 @nvidia is investing across almost every layer of the AI stack — chips, energy, infrastructure, data, LLMs, and applications. ✅$6B for Poolside technology. ✅$20B valuation for Mercor. ✅$30B rumored valuation for Perplexity. Why pick a winner when you can invest in everyone? With hundreds of billions in cash and massive free cash flow, NVIDIA has the firepower to back the entire AI ecosystem — especially as open-weight model usage drives demand for more compute. @davemcclure and @AmanVerjee break down NVIDIA's all-in AI strategy.
    @GaryMarcusOuch: “Nvidia is building the most concentrated bet on a single technology cycle that any company has ever made. If these valuations keep climbing, Jensen looks like a genius. If they don't, Nvidia is holding tens of billions in illiquid private stakes it can't sell, in companies that need Nvidia's money to keep buying Nvidia's chips.”
