Aug 4, 2024, 05:18 AM

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has launched two antitrust investigations into Nvidia's AI GPU supply tactics. The DOJ is examining whether Nvidia abused its market dominance to pressure cloud providers into purchasing its products. This scrutiny comes as Nvidia holds a significant market share, approaching 90%, in the AI GPU sector, raising concerns about monopolistic practices. Nvidia, which claims to win on merit, faces these probes amid accusations from rivals and industry stakeholders. SambaNova CEO & Co-founder, Rodrigo Liang, commented on the situation, highlighting the implications of such market dominance. The outcome of these investigations could impact Nvidia's business practices and the broader AI industry.
