🚨 JUST IN: President Trump reveals ex-Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang CALLED HIM amid the Chinese spy affair scandal
"He called me...he said, what I've done to my wife and family..."
"I think Tim Cook would be a great candidate to run Nvidia."
"I can tell you this: somehow, [Huang will] end up in his feet."
"I spoke to him — he's going through hell. What he feels most badly about is his wife and family. That's what he told me."
Nvidia's board has named CFO Colette Kress INTERIM CEO while it searches for a permanent replacement
The woman at the center of it, Alice Huang, is suspected of working for China's MINISTRY OF STATE SECURITY
She's also accused of helping move Nvidia chips to Chinese firms in violation of U.S. EXPORT CONTROLS.
Jensen Huang in his last hours as Nvidia CEO, per Bloomberg:
> The board met late into the night & left him no choice but to resign
>
> He looked broken, his take-charge style gone
> Started saying things like "whatever" & "I don't care"
> He has since called himself a "piece of sh--"
> He says he no longer cares what happens to him
> His main concern: his wife, and not "ruining the lives" of the women now linked to him
In June @NaderLikeLadder emailed Jensen about a crazy idea we had over dinner to make Local AI 10x better on NVIDIA hardware.
Jensen replied in 7 minutes. He saw this as important work, and approved a war room for us to work on this at NVIDIA HQ.
For a month, NVIDIA HQ was the @exolabs satellite office. We were overwhelmed by the support we got. We were back to back the first week with smart NVIDIANs coming in to our war room to help us. Creators of CUDA, Dynamo, people who built NVIDIA.
Long story short with NVIDIA we managed to improve their Local AI playbooks by 9.6x (almost the 10x goal we set out with). We’ll be publishing a whitepaper on this work.
We were just a small startup with a crazy idea. Jensen took a bet on us. Jensen cares deeply about Open Source AI and Local AI.
I don't believe Jensen is replaceable, he's a 1 of 1 human, but I hope NVIDIA will continue to aggressively support Open Source AI and Local AI, and continue to take bets on small startups with crazy ideas.
Thank you Jensen
