Jürgen Schmidhuber congratulates Nvidia on becoming the first public company to cross a $4 trillion market cap, while highlighting how dramatically the economics of compute have changed.
In his note, he argues that compute is now about 100,000× cheaper than in the 1990s, while NVDA is roughly 4,000× more valuable than it was then. The post is framed as both a thank-you to Jensen Huang for funding early neural network research and a celebration of how far the hardware era of AI has come.
