In a historic move that signals the accelerating dominance of artificial intelligence, Nvidia has officially become the first company in the world to surpass a $4 trillion market valuation, briefly outpacing both Apple and Microsoft.
This monumental rise is being fueled by the explosive demand for Nvidia’s AI chips, specifically its advanced GPUs and Language Processing Units (LPUs), which are powering everything from cloud computing to generative AI models.
Founded in 1993 by Jensen Huang, Nvidia started out designing graphics cards for gamers. Today, it stands at the center of a global transformation, with its chips embedded in the infrastructure of the world’s leading tech companies including Google, Meta, Amazon, and OpenAI.
