>Who is going to take the risk of deplying 10,000 AMD GPUs or 10,000 random startup silicon chips? That’s almost a $300 million investment.

Ironically, Jensen Huang did something like this many years ago. In an interview for his alma mater, he tells the story about how he had bet the existence of Nvidia on the successful usage of a new circuit simulation computer from a random startup that allowed Nvidia to complete the design of their chip.

Honestly, that's a really excellent point.

Successful startups are successful because they do exactly that. Successfully.

Successful startups cater to specific customers and provider one on one care that isn't typically possible with larger companies.
