Jensen Huang announced on Nov 12 that he is stepping down as NVIDIA CEO after 33 years since founding the company in 1993, with CFO Colette Kress serving as interim CEO. An old 2020 video is resurfacing: with in-person launches impossible during the pandemic, Huang pulled an HGX A100 board out of his home oven. That A100 generation went on to train ChatGPT, transforming NVIDIA from a gaming GPU maker into one of the world's most valuable companies.
