AGI Hunt compiles 19 predictions on what follows Huang's resignation as NVIDIA CEO, spanning ecosystem, supply chain and market reactions.

Immediate market moves: neoclouds hit hard — Nebius -21%, CoreWeave -14%; AMD +10%, Broadcom and Google short-term winners; Polymarket odds of NVIDIA falling below $4T by year-end jumped 48 points to 56% in a day
Business model: balance-sheet ecosystem support and circular financing (invest in customers who buy GPUs) may not survive, putting Anthropic's $10B deal in question; CUDA's moat may erode faster — Claude adapted AMD MI355X in three days vs. months of engineer work
Supply chain: per Ming-Chi Kuo, Huang's value was getting the whole supply chain to bet with him; aggressive spec upgrades may stall; gaming GPUs get harder to buy as management tilts datacenter
Open source & China: open-source AI loses its champion, leadership may shift faster to China; rumors say DeepSeek V5 is pretraining on Ascend 950; export controls likely tighten, with plans to close offshore Blackwell rental loopholes
Succession drama: Musk says hiring Huang 'would be an honor'; Polymarket gives <10% odds he joins SpaceX by year-end; Huang apparently hinted his successor will be an external hire; 88% of surveyed employees want him back
