• NVIDIA’s new computing model (Acquired podcast)

Topic 1 - Do you remember back when AWS was starting to take off, and Simon Wardley used to talk about how IBM or HP or Cisco or EMC/VMware should have been the ones building the utility cloud services? 

Topic 2 - We’re now at a stage when all anyone can talk about is AI (Generative AI, LLMs, etc.) and GPUs. So which one is more powerful, the Models/Data or the Infrastructure?

Topic 3 - Is it possible that NVIDIA could start building their own cloud? Do they potentially want to own a more vertical experience? 

Topic 4 - Obviously the buildout costs are enormous, but are they that much different from what the Big 3 are trying to do in retrofitting existing data centers, or hiring to build their own mini-Nuclear reactors?

Topic 5 - Who could potentially be a partner to NVIDIA in building out this type of cloud in the near-term? (Equinix, national governments, cities-of-the-future, sovereign wealth funds, etc.)
