NVIDIA’s Open Software Trap: The Real Cost of the New Inference Stack
SUMMARY: We dig into the NVIDIA GTC keynote and highlight three things - accelerated computing for everything, the complexity of the new inference stack, and NVIDIA’s “open” software stack including NemoClaw.

Everything is about keeping the stock price up, and margins high. The stock price provides the warchest to fight off all foes. Topic 2 - The inference architecture is a complex mix of GPUs, CPUs, ASICs/LPUs, high-speed networking and seems very different from the training architecture. How big is the burden on data center providers? What are the inference alternatives emerging? Topic 3 - Jensen talked a lot about OpenClaw and eventually about NVIDIA’s NemoClaw. How does his interest in Agentic AI tie into his interest in building NVIDIA’s own frontier model FEEDBACK?
