Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

Every supplier has a lot of projects going on and he, he make it, he made it, he makes it his business that he's the top priority of everybody else's, you know, projects.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

And so he, he does that by demonstrating.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

That's right.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

Well, first of all, co-design is a ultimate systems engineering problem.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

And so we approach the work that we do from that principle.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

The other thing that we do, and this is a philosophy, a thought, a state of mind, I guess, a method that I started 30 years ago, and it's called the speed of light.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

The speed of light is not just about the speed.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

The speed of light is my shorthand for what's the limit of what physics can do.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

And so everything that we do is compared against the speed of light.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

Memory speed, math speed, power, cost, time, effort, number of people, manufacturing cycle time.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

And when you think about latency versus throughput, when you think about cost versus throughput, cost versus capacity, all of these things

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

you test against the speed of light to achieve all of these different constraints separately.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

And then when you consider it together, you know you have to make compromises because a system that achieves extremely low latency versus a system that achieves very high throughput,

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

are architected fundamentally differently.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

But you want to know what's the speed of light of a system that achieves high throughput?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

What's the speed of light of a system that achieves low latency?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

And then when you think about the total system, you could make trade-offs.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

And so I force everybody to think about what's the first principles, the limits, the physical limits of

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

for everything before we do anything.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

And we test everything against that.
