The article has finally been published.
It is reported that NVIDIA’s CEO, Jensen Huang, made the following remarks to Samsung Semiconductor’s executives last September:
“NVIDIA is a customer of Samsung Electronics, not its employee. Stop calling to ask questions and make requests.”
Furthermore, Huang is said to have told Samsung’s executives, “I cannot trust Samsung Electronics’ HBM products or its engineers.”
According to the report, this is not the first time NVIDIA has reprimanded Samsung. Around February last year, an NVIDIA employee sent an email to Samsung Electronics, stating, “We are extremely disappointed with Samsung’s lack of professionalism and dishonesty.” Around November, an NVIDIA employee who inspected Samsung Electronics’ HBM packaging line in Cheonan reportedly left harsh criticism.
A senior executive in the semiconductor industry revealed that “Jensen Huang openly told Samsung Electronics’ executives that the company cannot be trusted because its CEO changes too frequently.”
However, I think the external response has been somewhat overblown, especially in narratives around cost. One implication of having two paradigms (pre-training and reasoning) is that we can optimize for a capability over two axes instead of one, which leads to lower costs.
