Nvidia’s moat may be eroding as Huawei and others race to flood frontier compute

The post argues that Nvidia’s moat is eroding and that the threat is not limited to AMD — Huawei should be taken seriously too.
Its core claim is that CUDA and kernel work are no longer a durable moat because agent-assisted work has eaten much of the specialized engineering tax. Even if challengers start with worse silicon, efficiency, and software, they may still win by shipping abundant frontier-ish compute and outlasting Nvidia in an attrition battle.
