In a memo to a Wall Street analyst, Nvidia directly responded to a recent X post from Michael Burry that was critical of the company.

“We’re delighted by Google’s success—they’ve made great advances in AI, and we continue to supply to Google,” Nvidia wrote in a post on X. “Nvidia is a generation ahead of the industry—it’s the only platform that runs every AI model and does it everywhere computing is done.”

A leaked all-hands shows Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang urging staff to automate tasks with AI as the $5T chip giant uses in-house automation to power its growth.

Nvidia‘s (NASDAQ:NVDA) evolution from a gaming chips maker to the premier supplier for AI systems has been nothing short of astounding. The market has responded in kind, sending its stock soaring 1,000% over the past three years and elevating the company to the most-valuable in the world with a $4.

To be clear, Nvidia’s graphics processing units (GPUs) remain the gold standard for the AI industry. But Google’s TPUs — which power its highly praised Gemini 3 — are cheaper to develop and require less power. Some industry experts estimate that TPUs offer up to four times better performance per dollar than comparable GPUs.

Nvidia has been subject to criticism over circular AI deals — as the leading AI chipmaker has invested in its own customers — with the famed "Big Short" investor Michael Burry recently betting on the company's decline and claiming the AI market is like the dot-com bubble.

"There is no question that Nvidia will make a bunch of money," Gary Marcus, a professor emeritus of psychology and neuroscience at New York University, who specializes in AI, told ABC News. "There are many questions about where the market is headed after this initial burst of enthusiasm."

Nvidia’s sales of the computing chipsets powering the artificial intelligence craze surged beyond the lofty bar set by stock market analysts in a performance that may ease recent jitters about a Big Tech boom turning into a bust that topples the world’s most valuable company.
