Jensen Huang announced at the shareholder meeting that the era of intelligent agents has arrived, with full-scale production of the exclusive Vera CPU

According to Wall Street News, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang announced at the annual shareholder meeting that the era of AI agents has officially arrived. He redefined the new type of data center as an "AI factory" specifically for producing tokens, and revealed that the new Vera CPU and Vera Rubin platform, designed to meet the ultra-low latency demands of agents, have fully entered mass production. Huang emphasized that as AI creates substantial economic value, the demand for computing power is showing an accelerating expansion trend, and its core software ecosystem CUDA is gradually transforming into a toolbox dedicated to agents.Regarding market access and compliance, Huang revealed that the U.S. government has now approved the export of H200 chips to Chinese customers, but this business has yet to generate any revenue, and there remains uncertainty regarding actual importation. At the same time, he rarely issued a public warning about the risks of chip smuggling, clearly stating that NVIDIA will not provide any hardware or software support and repair services for restricted smuggled products, and bluntly said that relying on smuggling to piece together advanced AI data centers is a "dead end." Additionally, he reiterated the long-term commitment to capital returns, planning to return over 50% of free cash flow to shareholders.

AI infrastructure startup Upscale AI completes $190 million financing at a valuation of $2 billion, led by Premji Invest, with participation from Nvidia and others

According to Techstartups, AI infrastructure startup Upscale AI announced the completion of a new round of financing totaling $190 million, with investors including NVIDIA and Salesforce Ventures. After this round of financing, the company's valuation reached $2 billion.This round of financing is part of its Series A extension, bringing Upscale AI's total financing to $500 million, led by Premji Invest, with new investors such as Temasek and Seligman Ventures participating, while existing shareholders including Maverick Silicon, Mayfield, Prosperity7 Ventures, StepStone Group, and Tiger Global continue to invest.Upscale AI focuses on building network infrastructure for large-scale AI clusters, attempting to solve the "computing power interconnection bottleneck" problem in AI training and inference. The company is developing a full-stack AI network architecture covering chips, systems, and software, aiming to create an open standard network interconnection solution suitable for large-scale AI workloads.The company stated that as the scale of AI clusters continues to expand, network performance is becoming a key limiting factor affecting GPU utilization and training efficiency. Inefficient interconnection can directly lead to wasted computing power and increased training costs. Currently, Upscale AI has begun collaborations with several hyperscale cloud providers and "new cloud" infrastructure providers for evaluation and deployment, but has not disclosed specific client information.Analysts point out that investment in AI infrastructure is spreading from the model layer to the underlying hardware and network layers, with network interconnection becoming one of the most关注的 key infrastructure tracks following GPUs.

JPMorgan has raised its forecast for AI infrastructure investment to $5.5 trillion, as giants like NVIDIA are turning to debt financing

J.P. Morgan strategist Tarek Hamid and his team have raised their forecast for total investment in artificial intelligence infrastructure by 2030 to $5.5 trillion in a recent research report, an increase of $400 billion from their prediction last November. The bank noted that in this investment race for super-scale data centers, approximately $4.1 trillion will come from debt financing, with loans covering an average of 85% of total project costs, indicating that AI capital expenditures have shifted to a debt market-centric financing model.Since last November, global bond issuance related to AI and data centers has exceeded $300 billion. The latest typical case comes from chip giant NVIDIA, which completed the pricing of a $25 billion investment-grade bond issuance this Monday, marking its return to the bond market for the first time in five years. This issuance was conducted in seven tranches (with maturities ranging from 2 to 30 years) and attracted oversubscription of up to $85 billion, ultimately increasing the issuance size by 25% from the initial target.The research report emphasizes that although tech giants like NVIDIA, Alphabet, and Amazon are generating substantial cash flow from the AI boom (with NVIDIA estimating free cash flow exceeding $200 billion this fiscal year), these giants still choose to issue hundreds of billions of dollars in bonds. This indicates that such bond issuance is not due to a "lack of financing," but rather that the credit market is confirming the pricing of AI assets.

NVIDIA plans to market the Vera AI CPU to Chinese customers, and some cloud providers intend to start testing deployments

Sources say that Nvidia has begun marketing its first standalone Central Processing Unit (CPU) product, Vera, to Chinese customers. This chip is designed for Agentic AI systems and has now entered mass production, marking Nvidia's attempt to further expand its presence in the Chinese market through CPU products.Insiders indicate that some Chinese customers have shown interest in Vera. One large Chinese cloud computing company plans to purchase over 300 servers equipped with dual Vera CPUs for testing and will decide whether to scale up purchases after the testing is completed.Vera is built on the Arm Holdings architecture and is Nvidia's first standalone CPU product. Nvidia previously stated that Vera's performance in AI agent-related computing tasks can reach 1.8 times that of competing products, and it is expected that this product will contribute approximately $20 billion in revenue before the end of the current fiscal year (by the end of January next year).Reports point out that as the focus of the AI industry gradually shifts from model training to inference computing, CPUs and custom chips are gaining more attention. Vera also puts Nvidia in direct competition with Intel and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), which have long dominated the server CPU market.Insiders have noted that due to strict restrictions imposed by the U.S. on high-end GPU exports, CPUs face relatively fewer regulatory hurdles in the Chinese market compared to GPU products. Currently, some Chinese customers plan to first deploy Vera chips in overseas data centers for testing. Meanwhile, software ecosystem compatibility and the existing domestic AI chip deployment system may still affect the subsequent large-scale adoption of Vera.
