As the Allanciscape continues to move rspidly fe.g. from CNN to transformer models to whatevercomes next), they believe it will be dlifficult for Google to convince CSPs to deploy TPUsas they are optimized for specific mocel structures (ve shall soe, cleerly there is somodcployment i.e. Anthropic at least), But they believe NVIDIA's programmable: platformsolutions remain the best hardware for cloud Al infrastructure.

NVIDIA addressed the "circularity" concerns, noting thst theyve been making strsteglcinvestments for years, and consiclering tihat their investments YTD ere ~LSD% ofthairrevenues, its clearly not fueling their growth.
