Nvidia became especially valuable by supplying processors central to artificial intelligence.

Nvidia designs graphics processing units, or GPUs, that can perform many calculations simultaneously. That architecture was first associated mainly with computer graphics and video games, but it also proved highly effective for training and running machine-learning models.

The company’s CUDA software platform helped developers use Nvidia GPUs for general-purpose parallel computing. As generative artificial intelligence expanded, demand grew for data-center accelerators used by researchers and technology companies. This shift transformed Nvidia from a primarily graphics-focused chip designer into a major supplier for AI infrastructure.

Nvidia was founded in 1993 by Jensen Huang, Chris Malachowsky, and Curtis Priem. Its stock-market value rose sharply during the AI boom, although market capitalization can change quickly with share prices, expectations, and competition. GPUs are not limited to AI: they remain important in gaming, professional visualization, and scientific computing.
