Per a Wall Street Journal report, Nvidia offered billions in financial guarantees to AI companies that couldn't afford its chips, turning them into long-term GPU buyers. Some deals were pushed by Jensen Huang's son-in-law Nico Caprez, a VP since January, whose team promised credit support within weeks. Nvidia's own filings show commitments ballooned to $53B. beffjezos reads this as the end of the current GPU cycle, predicting a credit-bubble pop, a 2-3 year window for thermodynamic computing, and a next scaling era built on power-efficient compute.
