Microsoft was first with an initial $1 billion investment in 2019 .

Now Apple and NVIDIA may be poking around hoping to invest themselves and capitalize on open a eyes winning streak.

The test now is whether it can balance the tug of war between its nonprofit roots and a more realistic for profit future.

Another GBT moment in the AI arms race, Jensen Huang , the AI kingmaker himself. He says that the glory and the leadership goes to the person or company with the breakthrough, not the incremental advance. The first person to the next plateau gets to introduce a revolutionary level of AI . The second person who gets there is incrementally you know better or about the same. So the ability to systematically and consistently race to the next plateau and be the first one there. It's how you establish leadership. That leadership is now open AIS to lose..
