| 0:00.0 | This is John Batcher, conversation with my colleague Chris Regal, the CEO of scholar.com, a global technology |
| 0:06.2 | firm, a lot of digital in the firm, about NVIDIA gaining all the attention on Wall Street these last weeks because of artificial |
| 0:17.0 | intelligence and the NVIDIA high-end chips that are appropriate necessary for the artificial intelligence to be either coherent or growing in coherence. |
| 0:30.0 | Now a new chip called the Blackwell. I ask Chris about that and is this an arms race or are |
| 0:35.9 | their competitors? What is the horse race? Chris prefers that metaphor look like. |

| 0:45.4 | Envidia is the future. |
| 0:48.2 | Is Chris Regal on Envidia and its new chips |
| 0:52.1 | and the future of AI. |
| 0:54.0 | John right now, Invidia is so far ahead of much of the competition. |
| 0:59.1 | You will have other general compute companies, AMD, Intel, others that will try to catch up. |
| 1:06.0 | But NVIDIA is really way out front in this horse race, specifically as applies to AI, |
| 1:12.0 | and some of the things that they're doing with the Blackwell |
| 1:13.9 | chip are absolutely amazing AI models of up to a trillion objects in real time. |
| 1:21.0 | There's just some amazing leaps forward that are pressing Moore's law |
| 1:24.6 | faster and faster with the advance of this technology. Then the key point will be |
| 1:28.9 | what open AI and many of the AI companies are able to do with all this new processing power. |
| 1:35.0 | More of this later. |
