How does the use of ai tools specifically sell Nvidia hardware? it could help sell other hardware as well. They don't specify any specific ai software that might be exclusive to Nvidia hardware or anything like that. That at the surface doesn't make much sense to me.

LLMs do most of their processing on GPUs using platforms like CUDA, which is an Nvidia product. Nvidia stands to make a lot of money off of CUDA and ML hardware.

Nvidia makes some of the best hardware for training AI models. Increased investment in AI will inevitably increase demand for Nvidia hardware. It may boost other hardware makers too, but Nvidia is getting the biggest boost by far.

Maybe I’m being dumb or missing something but this feels incredibly obvious to me.
