Nvidia CEO Hand-Delivers ‘World’s Fastest AI System’ to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman

Nvidia’s CEO personally delivered the DGX H200 server, touted as the ‘world’s fastest AI system,’ to OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman. Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, hand-delivered the cutting-edge AI processing system and signed it with a dedication to advancing AI, computing, and humanity. The DGX H200 server is Nvidia’s latest enterprise-grade GPU-based system, boasting significant performance upgrades over its predecessor.

The DGX H200 features the new H200 Tensor Core GPU, representing a substantial improvement over the previous H100 model. With 141 GB of memory running at 4.8 TB/s, the H200 GPU, based on Nvidia’s Hopper architecture, is positioned as the most powerful GPU for accelerating AI workloads.

This handover event echoes a similar occasion in 2016 when Huang delivered the world’s first DGX-1 server to OpenAI, marking a milestone in advancing computing and humanity. The DGX-1 significantly accelerated OpenAI’s research efforts, and the upgraded DGX H200 is expected to have a similar impact.

However, amidst these advancements, there’s ongoing legal contention between Elon Musk, a co-founder of OpenAI, and the company. Musk alleges that OpenAI has violated its founding contract by transitioning from a non-profit to a for-profit entity. Additionally, Musk has expressed concerns about the potential dangers of artificial general intelligence (AGI), emphasizing the need for careful consideration of its implications on humanity’s future.
