With post-training and reinforcement learning, that entire area is just exploding. So if you want to build on an architecture, building on CUDA makes the most sense because you know the ecosystem is great.

But I think having a dialogue and having research dialogue is probably the safest thing to do. This is an area that is glaringly missing because of our current attitude about China as an adversary.

For example, the United States is scarce on energy, which is the reason why Nvidia has to keep advancing our architecture and do this extreme co-design so that with the few chips that we ship—with the few chips, because the amount of energy is so limited—our throughput per watt is off the charts.

Yeah, thanks for that question. So first of all, the reason why extreme co-design is necessary is because the problem no longer fits inside one computer to be accelerated by one GPU.

Because a computing platform is all about developers. And developers don’t come to a computing platform just because, you know, it could perform something interesting.

CUDA, step by step by step we… Well, the putting CUDA on GeForce, that was a strategic decision that was very, very hard to do, because it cost the company enormous amounts of our profits, and we couldn’t afford it at the time.

The second thing that you and I just talked about goes beyond CPUs and GPUs and networking chips and scale up switches and scale out switches. And then of course, you gotta include power and cooling and all of that because all these computers are extremely power hungry.

There were… You know, there’s several other competing architectures. But the thing that… The decision that we made that was good was we said, “Hey, look, ultimately it’s about install base and what is the best way we could get a new computing architecture into the world?

I don’t think there’s anything about anything that we’re building that would suggest that two different computers being presented with all of exactly the same context would perfo- Of course, it would produce statistically different outcomes, but it’s not because it felt different.

RIVA 128, as I mentioned, the number of smart decisions we made, which are smart to this day, how we design chips is exactly the same to this day, because gosh nobody’s ever done it back then.
