Nvidia, Apple Suppliers Prepare For Policy Shifts, Japan's AI Leap, And AMD's Workforce Cut: This Week In AI

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and SoftBank&#8217;s Masayoshi Son recently shared a few laughs and some bittersweet memories at the AI Summit in Tokyo. At the center of their banter? SoftBank&#8217;s former role as Nvidia&#8217;s largest shareholder – and how they decided to let that golden opportunity slip away.

</ul>
In 2019, SoftBank (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) sold all of its Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) shares, which comprised about 4.9% of the company. It seemed like a solid move back then: they had invested around $700 million and ended up making $3.3 billion from the sale. But now, Son admits the decision wasn&#8217;t exactly a home run. Today, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/06/39489510/the-150-billion-opportunity-softbank-lost-by-selling-nvidia-shares-too-soon">those shares would be worth over $150 billion</a>.
During their talk, Huang jokingly said, &#8220;We can cry together,&#8221; hugging Son on stage as they remembered what might have been. Son, not missing a beat, added that he had to &#8220;tearfully&#8221; sell those shares. Huang even shared that Son once offered him financial backing to buy Nvidia outright – something he now wishes he'd taken. &#8220;That was a great idea,&#8221; Huang said, with a hint of regret.

Huang praised Son for being a visionary who has consistently backed winning innovators like Bill Gates, Jerry Yang and Steve Jobs. Son has a talent for recognizing big opportunities and helping establish major tech moments, from bringing Gates and Jobs to Japan to making Alibaba&#8217;s success possible in China. Yet, even with all those successes, the missed Nvidia chance still stings.

SoftBank, meanwhile, remains heavily invested in the future of AI. Son has made it clear that he&#8217;s not done yet.

Must See: Billionaires Jensen Huang And Masayoshi Son Joke About SoftBank's Past As Nvidia's Largest Shareholder – Before Dumping Its Stake

NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang on Wednesday said that he passed on an opportunity to acquire full ownership of the chipmaker, now valued at $3.6 trillion when SoftBank Group&#8216;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>) Masayoshi Son offered financial backing years ago.
What Happened: During a candid exchange at Nvidia&#8217;s AI summit in Tokyo, Huang revealed that Son approached him about a decade ago with an offer to help finance a complete buyout of Nvidia, believing the stock market undervalued the company at the time.
&#8220;Now I regret not taking you up,&#8221; Huang told Son during their public conversation. &#8220;That was a great idea.&#8221;
The conversation took a lighter turn when Son playfully pretended to cry on Huang&#8217;s shoulder after discussing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39429393/regret-missing-out-on-nvidia-rally-youre-not-alone-as-softbanks-masayoshi-son-laments-157b-lost-">SoftBank&#8217;s early exit from Nvidia investments</a>. &#8220;We can cry together,&#8221; Huang joked. &#8220;Could you imagine if today, you were the largest shareholder?&#8221;

Why It Matters: Nvidia&#8217;s remarkable ascent has been fueled by the artificial intelligence boom, with the company&#8217;s chips playing a crucial role in powering AI technologies. The company&#8217;s stock has surged nearly 200% this year alone, propelling Huang&#8217;s net worth to $128 billion and making him the 11th richest person globally, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
The discussion preceded the announcement of a new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41929194/nvidia-and-softbank-to-build-japans-top-ai-supercomputer-on-blackwell-platform-jensen-huang-says-tokyo-is-leaping-into-the-ai-industrial-revolution">partnership between Nvidia and SoftBank</a> to develop Japan&#8217;s most powerful AI supercomputer, marking a significant development in Japan&#8217;s AI infrastructure expansion.
Son, who ranks 133rd on Bloomberg&#8217;s wealth index with a $15.9 billion fortune, has seen his wealth increase by more than $5 billion this year, though that pales in comparison to what might have been had SoftBank retained its earlier Nvidia investments.

Nvidia's CEO Reveals The Massive Deal He Missed And Why It Is Today A $3.6 Trillion Regret

SoftBank Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>) has made a significant financial turnaround, reporting a profit of $7.8 billion in its latest quarter, largely attributed to successful Indian <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41929194/nvidia-and-softbank-to-build-japans-top-ai-supercomputer-on-blackwell-platform-jensen-huang-says-tokyo-is-leaping-into-the-ai-industrial-revolution">IPOs and improved tech valuations</a>.
What Happened: The Japanese conglomerate&#8217;s profit in the quarter ending September starkly contrasts the $6.05 billion loss in the same period last year, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/a86569e7-8743-4474-a6a8-13a3f30085e3">reported</a> the Financial Times.
The Vision Fund, known for its high-risk, tech-heavy investments, contributed to this turnaround with a $3.95 billion profit. This is the first time in nine quarters that the Vision Fund&#8217;s cumulative investment gains have turned positive.
Notable IPOs in India, including those of Ola Electric and FirstCry, have significantly boosted SoftBank&#8217;s valuations. The company&#8217;s CFO, Yoshimitsu Goto, highlighted the positive impact of these IPOs, which lifted valuations by $1.7 billion.
Other factors contributing to SoftBank&#8217;s improved financial position include valuation gains at Coupang in South Korea and DiDi in China, as well as a favorable impact on net income from the weak yen.

More recently, SoftBank has been in the news for its plans to rival Nvidia with its own AI chip production. However, these plans hit a roadblock as negotiations with Intel <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40387488/masayoshi-sons-plans-to-rival-nvidia-with-softbanks-own-ai-chip-production-hit-a-roadblock-as-intel">reportedly fell through</a>. This latest financial success may provide SoftBank with the resources to further pursue its AI ambitions.

SoftBank Is In Profit Once Again Thanks To Indian IPOs: What's Next For Masayoshi Son?

Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and SoftBank Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>) announced a partnership on Tuesday to establish Japan&#8217;s most powerful artificial intelligence supercomputer, marking a significant step in the country&#8217;s push to become a global AI powerhouse.
What Happened: The collaboration unveiled at the Nvidia AI Summit Japan, centers on SoftBank&#8217;s implementation of Nvidia&#8217;s advanced Blackwell platform and plans to utilize the Nvidia Grace Blackwell platform for future supercomputing initiatives.
&#8220;Japan has a long history of pioneering technological innovations with global impact,&#8221; said Jensen Huang, Nvidia&#8217;s founder and CEO. &#8220;With SoftBank&#8217;s significant investment in Nvidia&#8217;s full-stack AI, Omniverse and 5G AI-RAN platforms, Japan is leaping into the AI industrial revolution.&#8221;
SoftBank has successfully piloted the world&#8217;s first combined AI and 5G telecom network using Nvidia&#8217;s AI Aerial platform. This innovation could potentially generate billions in new revenue for global telecom operators by transforming base stations from cost centers into AI revenue-producing assets.
&#8220;Countries and regions worldwide are accelerating the adoption of AI for social and economic growth,&#8221; said Junichi Miyakawa, SoftBank&#8217;s president and CEO. &#8220;Through our long collaboration with Nvidia, SoftBank is leading this transformation from the forefront.&#8221;
The partnership includes several key initiatives:
<ul>
<li>SoftBank will receive the world&#8217;s first Nvidia DGX B200 systems for its new DGX SuperPOD supercomputer</li>
<li>Development of an AI marketplace using Nvidia AI Enterprise software</li>
<li>Implementation of Nvidia&#8217;s AI-RAN solution, which SoftBank estimates can reduce power consumption by 40% compared to traditional 5G infrastructure</li>
</ul>

Why It Matters: The collaboration represents a strategic shift for both companies, with SoftBank estimating potential returns of up to 219% for each AI-RAN server added to its infrastructure. The company plans to begin global deployment of its AI-RAN solution, dubbed &#8220;AITRAS,&#8221; in 2026.
This partnership follows SoftBank&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39743441/after-losing-150b-nvidia-opportunity-masayoshi-sons-softbank-acquires-uk-chipmaker-graphcore-in-">recent moves in the AI sector</a>, including its $960 million investment commitment for developing Japanese-language AI models and its acquisition of UK-based chipmaker Graphcore.
The initiative is expected to accelerate Japan&#8217;s position in the global AI race while providing new opportunities for telecommunications, transportation, robotics, and healthcare industries.

Nvidia And SoftBank To Build Japan's Top AI Supercomputer On Blackwell Platform — Jensen Huang Says Tokyo Is 'Leaping Into The AI Industrial Revolution'

In a bid to restructure its operations, Jellysmack, a SoftBank Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>)-backed creator-economy startup, is laying off employees and reducing its creator program.
What Happened: Jellysmack is undergoing a reorganization and will be downsizing its workforce, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/jellysmack-is-laying-off-staff-as-it-scales-back-its-creator-program/articleshow/114434680.cms">reported</a> Business Insider. The company has confirmed that 22 U.S.-based employees will be affected, with French employees also facing potential layoffs in the coming months.
The company is shifting its focus to its content business, which includes YouTube channels like Gamology, House of Bounce, Beauty Studio, and Oh My Goal. It is scaling back a program that helped creators earn money by posting content on Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>)-owned apps like Facebook.
&#8220;Jellysmack is making organizational adjustments to better align resources with key areas of growth,&#8221; a company representative said according to the report. &#8220;Jellysmack&#8217;s goal is to prioritize and invest in our business units that hold IP, given their continued success on YouTube.&#8221;

Popular Analyst Predicts 50% Surge For Memecoin As Burn Rate Spikes 389%</a>
This move comes after Jellysmack faced challenges in its business, including a decrease in monetization across platforms. The company, which initially focused on creating its own YouTube content, shifted to working with other creators to edit and recirculate their content across platforms like Facebook and Snap Inc&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNAP#NYSE">SNAP</a>) Snapchat to capture additional ad revenue.
Why It Matters: Jellysmack&#8217;s decision to restructure its operations and focus on its content business comes at a time when the creator economy is undergoing significant changes. Meta Platforms Inc. has also been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41375934/meta-confirms-layoffs-across-instagram-whatsapp-and-reality-labs-amid-strategic-reshuffle">restructuring its operations and laying off employees</a> across Instagram, WhatsApp, and Reality Labs. This is part of a broader trend of tech companies reevaluating their strategies and operations, which has been ongoing for some time.
This was part of a strategic reshuffle aimed at boosting efficiency. The company has also been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37501959/meta-employees-fear-layoffs-as-companys-year-of-efficiency-becomes-permanent-report">undergoing a prolonged process of evaluating individual employee performance for 2023</a>, with the reviews now concluding. This has left many employees anxious about their job security.

SoftBank-Backed Jellysmack Restructures, Lays Off Employees, And Scales Back Creator Program On Meta Platforms

Masayoshi Son, CEO of SoftBank Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>), has forecasted the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/09/40836225/human-like-reasoning-strawberry-ahead-aggressive-nvidia-buying-hotter-inflation-data">advent of artificial superintelligence</a> within the next ten years. This revelation was shared during the SoftBank World 2024 conference.
What Happened: Son, Japan&#8217;s second wealthiest individual, commended OpenAI for its recent technological strides. He specifically mentioned the new GPT-o1 models, codenamed &#8220;Strawberry,&#8221; which he believes have developed reasoning capabilities, <a href="https://observer.com/2024/10/softbank-masayoshi-son-ai-openai-investment/">reported</a> the Observer on Friday. 
"This technology will evolve to a point&nbsp;where your happiness will be its greatest reward," said Son. He claimed that ASI, which would be 10,000 times more powerful than human intelligence, could be achieved within a decade.
Son envisions a future where AI can perform everyday tasks, such as grocery shopping and investment management, ultimately enhancing human happiness. His optimistic outlook is consistent with his history of making bold tech investments.
Looking forward, Son anticipates the achievement of artificial general intelligence, which matches human intelligence, within two to three years. 
He also predicts artificial superintelligence, surpassing human capabilities, within a decade. SoftBank&#8217;s AI strategy is centered around ARM Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>), a U.K.-based chip designer, with plans to expand into AI chips, data centers, and industrial robots.

Why It Matters: Son&#8217;s prediction comes amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/09/40836225/human-like-reasoning-strawberry-ahead-aggressive-nvidia-buying-hotter-inflation-data">growing interest</a> in A.I. advancements, particularly with OpenAI&#8217;s &#8220;Strawberry&#8221; models. These models are noted for their human-like reasoning capabilities, which could revolutionize various industries.
However, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40387488/masayoshi-sons-plans-to-rival-nvidia-with-softbanks-own-ai-chip-production-hit-a-roadblock-as-intel">SoftBank&#8217;s ambitions</a> to rival NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) in A.I. chip production reportedly faced setbacks when talks with Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) fell through. Despite this, SoftBank is exploring partnerships with other manufacturers like Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>).
Additionally, Son&#8217;s focus on AI aligns with Sam Altman&#8216;s commitment to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38608040/openais-sam-altman-says-were-making-agi-and-it-will-be-worth-it-dont-care-if-we-burn-500m-or-50b">developing artificial general intelligence</a>, regardless of the financial cost. This shared vision underscores the significant investments and strategic shifts occurring in the A.I. sector.
Interestingly, SoftBank&#8217;s past decision to sell its Nvidia shares in 2019 resulted in a missed opportunity, as those shares would <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/06/39489510/the-150-billion-opportunity-softbank-lost-by-selling-nvidia-shares-too-soon">now be approximately worth over $150 billion</a>. This highlights the high stakes and rapid evolution of the AI and tech investment landscape.

SoftBank's Masayoshi Son Predicts Artificial Superintelligence Within A Decade After Testing OpenAI's 'Strawberry' Models

Masayoshi Son-led SoftBank Group Corporation (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>)&nbsp;has reportedly re-committed to a $500 million investment in ChatGPT-parent&nbsp;OpenAI.
What Happened: This investment forms part of a larger $6.5 billion funding round, catapulting OpenAI&#8217;s valuation to a staggering $150 billion, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/b1efdc2a-4dbc-40cc-920e-2cf389d261e8">reported</a> Financial Times, citing two people with knowledge of the deal.
The investment will be made through SoftBank&#8217;s second Vision Fund, primarily backed by the personal wealth of the company&#8217;s leader, Son.

This move will add SoftBank to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40636153/apple-in-talks-to-invest-in-openai-as-chatgpt-makers-valuation-climbs-to-100b-report">list of existing investors</a>, which includes Thrive Capital and Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>).
Despite the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41059344/sam-altman-hits-back-at-trolls-after-mira-muratis-openai-exit-explains-executive-drain-as-natural-we">high-profile departures</a> from OpenAI and potential corporate restructuring, investors remain optimistic about the company&#8217;s ability to push the boundaries&nbsp;of AI technology, the report noted.
They are&nbsp;betting on OpenAI&#8217;s potential to outperform big tech rivals like&nbsp;Google and Meta, as well&nbsp;as startups&nbsp;such as Anthropic and Mistral.

Why It Matters: Son has previously referred to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/09/34682813/softbanks-masayoshi-son-is-chatgpt-heavy-user-explores-investing-in-openai-after-bumper-arm-ipo">himself as an avid user</a> of OpenAI's chat service and has formed a strong connection with the company's CEO, Sam Altman.
He considers Altman to be one of the most influential figures in the world and has said that they communicate daily. 
SoftBank already works with OpenAI in Japan, helping local businesses create advanced chatbots.
Last month, Apple design legend Sir Jony Ive also confirmed his collaboration with OpenAI on a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40973399/apples-former-design-maestro-jony-ive-confirms-hes-joined-forces-with-openais-sam-altman-for-a-new-a">new AI hardware project</a>. Earlier, it was reported that Altman and Ive are seeking to secure $1 billion in funding from SoftBank for their new venture.
Meanwhile, Apple has reportedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41078582/tim-cook-led-apple-reportedly-abandons-openai-funding-round-discussions-but-nvidia-and-microsoft-cou">pulled out of talks to invest</a> in OpenAI's upcoming funding round. The withdrawal occurred at the last minute, just ahead of the funding round's expected closure.

After Apple Reportedly Backed Out, SoftBank Eyes $500M Investment In ChatGPT Parent, Pushing Valuation To $150B

Struggling chipmaker Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>)&nbsp;continues to receive <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40968128/qualcomm-reportedly-eyes-potential-takeover-of-intel-amid-60-stock-decline-but-antitrust-concerns-lo" rel="noreferrer noopener">takeover proposals from</a> chip companies, the latest being Arm Holdings Plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>) following Qualcomm Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) proposal earlier.
Arm Holdings recently proposed to acquire Intel&#8217;s product unit. However, Bloomberg <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-09-27/arm-rejected-by-intel-after-approaching-it-about-buying-product-unit?sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a> that Intel is not looking to sell the business division.
Intel stock plunged 31% as it failed to capitalize on the artificial intelligence shift, which is something that contract chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) excelled at.

Meanwhile, some reports indicated Intel&#8217;s plans to convert its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40897994/whats-going-on-with-intel-stock-on-tuesday" rel="noreferrer noopener">foundry business into</a> an independent unit, including exploring a spinoff into a publicly traded company. The chipmaker also explored divesting stake in the programmable chip unit&nbsp;Altera.
However, Intel&#8217;s recent big wins included a&nbsp;U.S. chipmaking deal from&nbsp;Amazon.Com Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Amazon Web services and the U.S. Chip grant.

AST SpaceMobile And Polestar Automotive Are Among Top 10 Best Performing Mid-Cap Stocks in August: Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

Tempus AI Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEM#NASDAQ">TEM</a>), a cutting-edge healthcare diagnostics company, has been on a tear. The stock established a new high of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TEM">$47.81 on Thursday</a>.
The stock is up 17.27% since its IPO in June. The company, which went public at $37 per share, and has been riding a wave of momentum ever since. 
Over the past five days, Tempus is up about 25% — a spike largely attributed to a strategic investment from SoftBank Group Corp (OTCPK: SFTBF) (OTCBF: SFTBY).
According to SoftBank's <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1065521/000106299324015034/xslForm13F_X02/primary_doc.xml">second-quarter 13F filing</a>, the investment giant added Tempus AI to its portfolio, acquiring approximately 5.41 million shares (worth approx. $189 million).
Google also backs Tempus AI.
This move, alongside SoftBank's increased stake in AI heavyweight Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), underscores the firm's bullish stance on the AI sector.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bullish Signals: Tempus On The Rise</h2>
From a technical perspective, Tempus AI's stock is showing strong bullish signals.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent081624&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="627" height="456" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/16100004/Screenshot-2024-08-16-at-7.29.52-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-499058" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/16100004/Screenshot-2024-08-16-at-7.29.52-PM.png 627w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/16100004/Screenshot-2024-08-16-at-7.29.52-PM-300x218.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 627px) 100vw, 627px" /></a></figure>

With its share price well above key moving averages—the eight-day SMA at $42.02 and the 20-day SMA at $41.51—the stock is positioned for continued upward momentum. 
The lack of data for the 50-day and 200-day SMAs, given the stock's recent market entry, doesn't detract from the overall positive sentiment.
Investors are clearly responding to Tempus AI's potential, especially with the backing of heavyweights like Google and SoftBank. 
As the company continues to innovate and expand its AI-driven healthcare solutions, its stock could remain a hot ticket on the Nasdaq, appealing to those looking to capitalize on the AI revolution. 
The big question now is whether Tempus AI can sustain this momentum and continue to break new ground in the fast-evolving tech landscape.

Tempus AI Soars To New Highs, Investments From Google And SoftBank Boost Bullish Sentiment

In a bid to challenge NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)&#8217;s AI dominance, Asian startups are developing more energy-efficient and cost-effective chips for specific artificial intelligence applications.
What Happened: Asian startups are challenging Nvidia&#8217;s AI dominance by developing more energy-efficient and cost-effective chips for specific AI applications. These startups are targeting the gap in the market left by Nvidia&#8217;s high energy consumption and bulky design, <a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Business-Spotlight/Nvidia-vs.-the-startups-AI-chip-challengers-chase-efficiency">reported</a> Nikkei Asia on Friday.
These startups are focusing on two types of AI chips: &#8220;inference&#8221; chips, used to operate existing AI models, and &#8220;training&#8221; chips, high-powered data-processing components used to develop new AI models. 
While Nvidia&#8217;s GPUs continue to dominate the AI landscape, the startups believe that their GPUs&#8217; high energy consumption and bulky design leave a gap in the market that they can fill.
These startups believe that Nvidia&#8217;s GPUs, while powerful, are too energy-intensive and expensive for many applications. Preferred Networks (PFN) CEO Toru Nishikawa stated, &#8220;No one has come up with the perfect chip architecture for inference.&#8221; PFN is developing chips that aim to be more efficient and less costly than Nvidia&#8217;s offerings.
Nvidia&#8217;s GPUs are primarily used for training AI models, but their high cost and energy consumption make them impractical for devices like laptops and wearables. Analysts, including Kazuhiro Sugiyama from Omdia, believe that the demand for on-device AI will rise, encouraging new entrants to the market.
Startups such as Edgecortix, led by Sakyasingha Dasgupta, are focusing on solving issues like the &#8220;memory wall&#8221; problem to create more streamlined and energy-efficient AI chips. These efforts are part of a broader strategy to cater to the growing demand for AI in industrial applications and robotics, particularly in Asia, according to the report.
&#8220;Nvidia&#8217;s GPU is mainly suited for training, but we are seeing more newcomers developing chips which can target both training and inference,&#8221; Sugiyama said.

Nvidia AI Dominance Challenged By Asian Startups Betting On Energy-Efficient And Cost-Effective Silicon — 'Inference' And 'Training' Chips Emerge As Key Focus

Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) stock is trading higher Thursday amid reports indicating a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40387488/masayoshi-sons-plans-to-rival-nvidia-with-softbanks-own-ai-chip-production-hit-a-roadblock-as-intel" rel="noreferrer noopener">fallout in discussions</a> between SoftBank Group Corp (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>) and Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) over an artificial intelligence (AI) chip production.
Reportedly, Arm Holdings Plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>) parent SoftBank is turning to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>), a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40367565/whats-going-on-with-taiwan-semiconductor-stock-on-wednesday" rel="noreferrer noopener">key Nvidia supplier</a>.
Intel failed to meet SoftBank&#8217;s demands for volume and speed, the Financial Times <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ft.com/content/6b7fd8a1-7f9c-427b-8467-f911f5f0d520" rel="noreferrer noopener">cited</a> familiar sources.

Intel&#8217;s financial struggles, including an April reported $7 billion operating loss in its manufacturing business and subsequent layoffs, likely compounded the difficulties in securing a deal.
While SoftBank&#8217;s pivot to Taiwan Semiconductor could still face hurdles due to the latter&#8217;s high demand from existing customers, the Japanese group remains committed to advancing its AI chip ambitions.
The overall cost of the project could run into tens of billions of dollars, with SoftBank reportedly seeking additional partners like Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google and Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) to provide the necessary expertise and resources.
Nvidia&#8217;s stock has seen a volatile ride. Its selloff makes its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40366085/nvidias-rebound-rally-adds-billions-to-market-value-analysts-eye-ai-growth-report" rel="noreferrer noopener">valuation more attractive</a> as the AI frenzy is in no mood to slow down. Nvidia trades at a forward price-to-earnings multiple of 45.05x after losing over 5% in the last 30 days.
Nvidia stock is up over 176% in the last 12 months. Investors can gain exposure to the stock through Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOO#NYSE">VOO</a>) and SPDR S&amp;P 500 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>).
Price Action: NVDA shares were trading higher by 3.45% to $122.16 at the last check Thursday.

What's Going On With Nvidia Stock On Thursday?

Amid the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40153013/rich-dad-poor-dad-author-robert-kiyosaki-sees-market-crashes-as-opportunity-to-get-richer-">global market downturn</a> and a significant drop in its stock, Japanese investment behemoth, SoftBank Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>), has reaffirmed its commitment to artificial intelligence.
What Happened: On Wednesday, SoftBank CFO, Yoshimitsu Goto, expressed the company&#8217;s steadfast belief in the transformative potential of AI, <a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/SoftBank2/SoftBank-restates-faith-in-AI-amid-global-market-anxiety">reported</a> Nikkei Asia.
&#8220;We believe in AI, and believe it can change people&#8217;s lives,&#8221; Goto, said in a briefing following the announcement of Masayoshi Son-led <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/08/40213337/masayoshi-sons-softbank-announces-3-4b-share-buyback-as-vision-fund-tech-arm-yields-investment-gains">SoftBank&#8217;s earnings for the April-June</a> quarter.
Despite the market&#8217;s &#8220;high volatility,&#8221; he assured that SoftBank&#8217;s financial status remains &#8220;robust and stable.&#8221;
&#8220;Of course, the market is tough,&#8221; he stated, adding, &#8220;but our financial status is robust and stable. &#8230; There will be no change to our financial strategy for fiscal 2024.&#8221;

SoftBank&#8217;s first-quarter losses were significantly lower than the same period last year, thanks to a weak yen and increased earnings <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/options/24/08/40198755/arm-holdingss-options-frenzy-what-you-need-to-know">from chip designer</a> ARM Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>) a company in which SoftBank holds a significant stake. 
Regarding future investments, Goto acknowledged the need for caution due to market volatility. However, he also noted that the current lower stock prices present a good investment opportunity.
SoftBank also announced a share buyback of 500 billion yen ($3.4 billion) over the next year, motivated in part by the company&#8217;s record-low share price on Monday.
Why It Matters: Goto&#8217;s optimistic remarks follow SoftBank Group&#8217;s largest single-day stock price drop since its 1998 listing. This occurred on Monday as Japan&#8217;s benchmark Nikkei Stock Average experienced its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40152271/mohamed-el-erian-grant-cardone-and-matt-weller-warn-of-deepening-global-market-selloff-as-yen-ri">worst daily sell-off in history</a>.
U.S. stocks took a downturn on Wednesday, with an initial rally fizzling out, though the decline wasn&#8217;t as drastic as the recent turbulent swings seen in global markets.
The S&amp;P 500 fell by 0.8% after an early surge of 1.7% lost momentum. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 0.6%, and the Nasdaq composite decreased by 1%.
The market&#8217;s decline was influenced by Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), a major player on Wall Street, which shifted from a 4.4% morning gain to a 5.1% loss, heavily weighing down the S&amp;P 500. 
At the time of writing, Nvidia stocks were down 1.31% at $97.65, during the after-hours session.

Why It Matters: Bezos&#8217;s involvement in Skild AI comes <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/07/39621460/jeff-bezos-to-sell-5-billion-in-amazon-shares-could-he-be-raising-cash-for-seattle-seahawks-purcha">after he sold $5 billion</a> in Amazon shares earlier this year. This move had sparked speculation about his financial strategies, including a potential purchase of the Seattle Seahawks. Bezos, who stepped down as Amazon&#8217;s CEO in 2021, continues to shape the tech landscape through strategic investments and his role as executive chair.
Meanwhile, SoftBank has been aggressively expanding its AI portfolio. Recently, SoftBank acquired UK chipmaker Graphcore to strengthen its AI capabilities. This acquisition aligns with SoftBank&#8217;s broader strategy to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39743441/after-losing-150b-nvidia-opportunity-masayoshi-sons-softbank-acquires-uk-chipmaker-graphcore-in-">invest in foundational AI technologies</a>, including semiconductors and systems.
Amazon&#8217;s increasing reliance on robotics further underscores the significance of Skild AI&#8217;s mission.

Microsoft's $1.5B Investment Under Scrutiny, Alibaba Showcases AI Breakthroughs In Shanghai And More: This Week In Artificial Intelligence

SoftBank Group Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>) led by has announced the acquisition of Graphcore, a UK-based chipmaker, in a significant move to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39517522/after-missing-nvidia-rally-masayoshi-son-is-giving-ai-investment-another-try-softbank-is-reportedly">bolster its artificial intelligence capabilities</a>.
What Happened: SoftBank, led by Masayoshi Son, has acquired Graphcore, a startup focused on AI, founded by UK semiconductor industry veterans in 2016. The acquisition is part of SoftBank&#8217;s multibillion-dollar AI push and will position Graphcore alongside chip designer Arm Holdings PLC (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>) in SoftBank&#8217;s portfolio, the Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/e33bab13-2d64-47f7-b0e2-9ba446296234">reported</a> on Friday.
&#8220;With the advent and the acceleration of AI, what's going to be critical is the foundation layers — not just the models but all the infrastructure around it, including on the semiconductor and systems side,&#8221; said Vikas Parekh, a San Francisco-based SoftBank executive who led the investment.
Despite its technology, Graphcore has struggled to commercialize, generating only $2.7 million in sales and $205 million in pre-tax losses in 2022. The company warned last October that it needed to raise new capital within months.

Neither SoftBank nor Graphcore confirmed the deal&#8217;s value, but the report, which cited sources familiar with the matter disclosed it to be slightly above $600 million, less than the approximately $700 million the company had raised in venture capital.
SoftBank and Graphcore did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment.
Why It Matters: This acquisition comes on the heels of SoftBank&#8217;s strategic <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39520492/softbank-bets-big-on-ai-in-healthcare-inks-new-joint-venture-with-tempus-to-transform-cancer-tre">moves in the AI sector</a>. In June, SoftBank announced a joint venture with Tempus AI Inc. to revolutionize healthcare in Japan using AI, investing JPY 15 billion each.
Additionally, SoftBank&#8217;s stock hit a 24-year high in July, driven by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/07/39650084/masayoshi-sons-shift-from-defense-to-offense-worked-as-arm-ai-drive-softbank-stock-to-24-year-high">strategic moves in AI and a strong performance</a> by its chip-design subsidiary, Arm Holdings Plc. This acquisition further cements SoftBank&#8217;s position in the AI sector, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39517522/after-missing-nvidia-rally-masayoshi-son-is-giving-ai-investment-another-try-softbank-is-reportedly">following its investment</a> in Jeff Bezos-backed AI startup Perplexity AI in June.
Despite its recent successes, SoftBank also faced a significant loss of opportunity in the AI sector when it sold all of its NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) shares in 2019, missing out on an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/06/39489510/the-150-billion-opportunity-softbank-lost-by-selling-nvidia-shares-too-soon">opportunity of more than $150 billion</a>.

After Losing $150B Nvidia Opportunity, Masayoshi Son's SoftBank Acquires UK Chipmaker Graphcore In Major AI Push

In a recent development, Flagship Pioneering, the venture capital firm known for backing Moderna (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRNA#NASDAQ">MRNA</a>) has successfully secured a whopping $3.6 billion in funding.
What Happened: Flagship Pioneering has raised $2.6 billion for its eighth fund and an additional $1 billion for parallel funds. These parallel funds will be invested in specific sectors such as diagnostics or therapeutics. The venture firm is also planning to raise more funds for its eighth fund later this year. The funds are intended to launch a series of new biotech companies that will harness the power of generative artificial intelligence for drug discovery, The Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/2e530667-49e0-4c8b-895b-d02c7984a6e4">reported </a>on Wednesday.
Noubar Afeyan, the founder of Flagship, stated that a significant part of the investments from the eighth fund will be directed towards platforms that employ AI in innovative ways for drug development. The firm is considering ideas like using AI to create novel chemical materials for medicines and automating hypothesis generation for scientists.

Why It Matters: Flagship&#8217;s successful fundraising signifies a positive trend for venture investment in biotech. This sector has been recovering from a downturn triggered by the end of a pandemic-induced boom and a series of interest rate hikes. Flagship&#8217;s investment strategy is increasingly focusing on biotechs developing individual drugs, with at least a quarter of investments from its last fund deployed through its Pioneering Medicines arm.
In April, the global AI in healthcare market size was<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/partner/health-care/24/04/38428956/ai-in-healthcare-is-expected-to-reach-148-billion-by-2029-heres-how-brand-engagement-network-"> valued at $20.9 billion</a> and is expected to reach $148.4 billion by 2029. This indicates a growing interest in AI-driven healthcare solutions.
Moreover, there is growing investment in healthtech sector. For instance, in June, SoftBank Group Corp (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39520492/softbank-bets-big-on-ai-in-healthcare-inks-new-joint-venture-with-tempus-to-transform-cancer-tre">announced a joint venture</a> with Tempus AI Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEM#NASDAQ">TEM</a>) to enhance precision medicine in Japan using AI.

AI 역량 정체, 안드리센 호로위츠 창립자 말하다
벤처 캐피털 회사 앤드리슨 호로위츠(Andreessen Horowitz)의 창립자들은 AI 역량이 정체 상태에 있다고 언급하면서 데이터 부족과 계산 한계를 주요 장벽으로 지적했다. 이는 오픈AI와 세이프 슈퍼인텔리전스(SSI)의 공동 창립자인 일리야 서츠케버(Ilya Sutskever)가 전통적인 AI 스케일링 접근 방식의 결과가 정체되었다고 인정한 최근 발언과 일치한다.

수요일(13일) 엔비디아(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO인 젠슨 황은 수요일(13일) 소프트뱅크 그룹의 손정의 회장의 엔비디아 인수 제안을 거절했었다고 밝혔다. 현재 엔비디아 시가총액은 3초 6천억 달러에 달한다.
무슨 일 있었나: 도쿄에서 열린 &#8216;엔비디아 AI 서밋&#8217;에서 젠슨 황은 10년 전에 손정의 회장이 당시 주식 시장이 엔비디아를 저평가하고 있다고 판단해 엔비디아의 완전한 인수를 위한 자금 지원을 제안했다고 솔직하게 터놓았다.
공개적인 대화에서 젠슨 황은 손정의 회장에게 "지금 생각해보면 그 제안을 받아들이지 않은 것을 후회하고 있다&#8221;며 &#8220;정말 훌륭한 아이디어였다&#8221;고 했다.
그리고 <a href="//www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39429393/regret-missing-out-on-nvidia-rally-youre-not-alone-as-softbanks-masayoshi-son-laments-157b-lost-"" target="_blank" rel="noopener">이전에 소프트뱅크가 엔비디아 지분을 일찍 매각했던 점을 언급</a>하면서, 손정의 회장이 장난스럽게 젠슨 황의 어깨에 기대어 우는 시늉을 하자 대화는 한결 가벼워졌다. 황은 &#8220;같이 울자&#8221;며 &#8220;지금 손 회장님이 엔비디아 최대 주주라면 상상이 되나요?&#8221;라고 농담을 했다.

왜 중요한가: 엔비디아의 놀라운 상승세는 인공지능(AI) 열풍에 의해 촉진되었으며, 엔비디아의 칩은 AI 기술을 강화하는 데 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 블룸버그 억만장자 지수(Bloomberg Billionaires Index)에 따르면 엔비디아의 주가는 올해에만 200% 가까이 급등하면서 젠슨 황의 순자산은 1,280억 달러로 전 세계에서 11위 부자로 등극했다.
젠슨 황과 손정희 회장의 이번 토론은 일본에서 가장 강력한 AI 슈퍼컴퓨터를 개발하기 위한 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41929194/nvidia-and-softbank-to-build-japans-top-ai-supercomputer-on-blackwell-platform-jensen-huang-says-tokyo-is-leaping-into-the-ai-industrial-revolution" target="_blank" rel="noopener">엔비디아와 소프트뱅크의 새로운 파트너십 발표</a>에 앞서 진행되었으며, 이는 일본의 AI 인프라 확장에 있어 중요한 진전으로 볼 수 있다.
손정의 소프트뱅크 회장은 블룸버그 억만장자 지수에서 159억 달러의 재산으로 133위에 올라 있으며, 올해 재산이 50억 달러 이상 증가했다. 만약 소프트뱅크가 이전의 엔비디아 투자 지분을 유지했다면 그의 재산 규모는 훨씬 더 컸을 것이다.

젠슨 황 엔비디아 CEO, "예전 소프트뱅크의 인수 제안 거절했던 것 후회"

소프트뱅크(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>)가 최근 분기에 78억 달러의 이익을 보고하며 상당한 재정적 반전을 이끌어냈다. 이는 주로 성공적인 인도 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41929194/nvidia-and-softbank-to-build-japans-top-ai-supercomputer-on-blackwell-platform-jensen-huang-says-tokyo-is-leaping-into-the-ai-industrial-revolution">IPO</a>와 개선된 기술 기업 가치에 기인한 것이다.
무슨 일이 (What Happened): 일본의 대기업이 9월에 종료된 분기에서 78억 달러의 이익을 기록한 것은 작년 같은 기간에 60억 5천만 달러의 손실을 기록했던 것과 극명한 대조를 이룬다고 <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/a86569e7-8743-4474-a6a8-13a3f30085e3">파이낸셜 타임스</a>가 보도했다.
고위험, 기술 중심의 투자를 전문으로 하는 비전 펀드가 39억 5천만 달러의 이익을 기여함으로써 이러한 반전을 이끌어냈다. 이는 비전 펀드의 누적 투자 이익이 9분기 만에 처음으로 긍정적으로 전환된 것이다.
인도의 주요 IPO들, 특히 올라 일렉트릭(Ola Electric)와 퍼스트크라이(FirstCry)의 상장은 소프트뱅크의 기업 가치를 크게 향상시켰다. 이 회사의 CFO인 요시미츠 고토(Yoshimitsu Goto)는 이러한 IPO들이 17억 달러의 기업 가치 상승을 가져온 긍정적인 영향을 강조했다.
소프트뱅크의 재정 개선에 기여한 다른 요소들로는 한국의 쿠팡(Coupang)와 중국의 디디(DiDi)에서의 기업 가치 상승, 그리고 엔화 약세가 순이익에 미친 긍정적인 영향이 있다.
왜 중요한가 (Why It Matters): 소프트뱅크의 인공지능(<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40387488/masayoshi-sons-plans-to-rival-nvidia-with-softbanks-own-ai-chip-production-hit-a-roadblock-as-intel">AI)에 대한 관심</a>는 반복되는 주제이며, CEO인 마사요시 손(Masayoshi Son)은 10년 이내에 인공지능 초지능이 도래할 것이라고 예측했다.
최근 소프트뱅크는 엔비디아와 경쟁할 자사 AI 칩 생산 계획으로 뉴스에 올랐다. 그러나 이러한 계획은 인텔과의 협상이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40387488/masayoshi-sons-plans-to-rival-nvidia-with-softbanks-own-ai-chip-production-hit-a-roadblock-as-intel">보도에 따르면 무산</a>되면서 장애물에 부딪혔다. 이번 재정적 성공은 소프트뱅크가 AI 야망을 더 추구할 수 있는 자원을 제공할 수 있게 해줄 것이다.
8월, 소프트뱅크는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/08/40213337/masayoshi-sons-softbank-announces-3-4b-share-buyback-as-vision-fund-tech-arm-yields-investment-gains">34억 달러의 자사주 매입 프로그램</a>을 발표하며 주주들의 우려로 인한 압박에 대응했다.

엔비디아(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)와 소프트뱅크(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>)(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>)가 화요일에 일본의 가장 강력한 인공지능(AI) 슈퍼컴퓨터를 구축하기 위한 파트너십을 발표하였다. 이는 일본이 글로벌 AI 강국으로 도약하기 위한 중요한 단계이다.
무슨 일이 (What Happened): 이 협력은 일본에서 개최된 엔비디아 AI 서밋에서 발표되었으며, 소프트뱅크가 엔비디아의 고급 블랙웰(Blackwell) 플랫폼을 구현하고 향후 슈퍼컴퓨팅 이니셔티브를 위해 엔비디아 그레이스 블랙웰(NVIDIA Grace Blackwell) 플랫폼을 활용할 계획이다.
&#8220;일본은 글로벌 영향력을 가진 기술 혁신의 선구자적인 역사를 가지고 있다&#8221;고 젠슨 황 엔비디아 창립자 겸 CEO가 말했다. &#8220;소프트뱅크의 엔비디아의 풀 스택 AI, 옴니버스(Omniverse) 및 5G AI-RAN 플랫폼에 대한 막대한 투자와 함께, 일본은 AI 산업 혁명으로 도약하고 있다.&#8221;
소프트뱅크는 엔비디아의 AI 에어리얼(Aerial) 플랫폼을 사용하여 세계 최초의 결합 AI 및 5G 통신 네트워크를 성공적으로 시범 운영했다. 이 혁신은 기지국을 비용 센서에서 AI 매출 창출 자산으로 전환하여 글로벌 통신 사업자들에게 수십억 달러의 새로운 매출을 창출할 수 있다.
&#8220;전 세계 국가와 지역들이 사회적, 경제적 성장을 위한 AI 채택을 가속화하고 있다&#8221;고 미야카와 준이치 소프트뱅크 사장 겸 CEO가 말했다. &#8220;엔비디아와의 오랜 협력을 통해 소프트뱅크는 이 변화를 선도하고 있다.&#8221;
이 파트너십에는 몇 가지 주요 이니셔티브가 포함된다:
<ul>
<li>소프트뱅크는 새로운 DGX SuperPOD 슈퍼컴퓨터를 위한 세계 최초의 NVIDIA DGX B200 시스템을 받게 된다.</li>
<li>엔비디아 AI 엔터프라이즈 소프트웨어를 이용한 AI 마켓플레이스 개발</li>
<li>엔비디아의 AI-RAN 솔루션 구현, 소프트뱅크는 이를 통해 전통적인 5G 인프라에 비해 전력 소비를 40% 줄일 수 있을 것으로 추정하고 있다.</li>
</ul>
중요한 이유 (Why It Matters): 이 협력은 두 회사 모두에게 전략적 전환을 나타내며, 소프트뱅크는 인프라에 추가되는 각 AI-RAN 서버에 대해 최대 219%의 잠재적 수익을 추정하고 있다. 소프트뱅크는 2026년부터 &#8220;AITRAS&#8221;라는 이름의 AI-RAN 솔루션을 글로벌 배포할 계획이다.
이 파트너십은 일본어 AI 모델 개발을 위한 9억 6천만 달러 투자 약속과 영국 기반 칩 제조업체인 그래프코어(Graphcore) 인수를 포함하여 AI 부문에서 소프트뱅크의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39743441/after-losing-150b-nvidia-opportunity-masayoshi-sons-softbank-acquires-uk-chipmaker-graphcore-in-">최근 움직임</a>에 따른 것이다.
이 이니셔티브는 일본이 글로벌 AI 경쟁에서의 입지를 강화하고 통신, 운송, 로봇 공학 및 의료 산업에 대한 새로운 기회를 제공할 것으로 예상된다.

엔비디아와 소프트뱅크, 블랙웰 플랫폼으로 日 최고의 AI 슈퍼컴퓨터를 구축할 예정

손 마사요시(Masayoshi Son)이 이끄는 소프트뱅크 그룹(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>)가 챗GPT의 모기업인 오픈AI에 대한 5억 달러 투자에 재확인했다는 보도가 나왔다.
어떤 일이 (What Happened): 이 투자는 65억 달러 규모의 자금 조달 라운드의 일환으로, 오픈AI의 가치를 무려 1,500억 달러로 끌어올렸다고 <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/b1efdc2a-4dbc-40cc-920e-2cf389d261e8">파이낸셜 타임스</a>가 이 거래에 대한 정보를 알고 있는 두 사람을 인용하여 보도했다.
이 투자는 소프트뱅크의 두 번째 비전 펀드(Vision Fund)를 통해 이루어질 예정이며, 이 펀드는 주로 이 회사의 리더인 손 마사요시의 개인 재산에 의해 지원된다.

중요한 이유 (Why It Matters): 손은 이전에 자신을 오픈AI 채팅 서비스의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/09/34682813/softbanks-masayoshi-son-is-chatgpt-heavy-user-explores-investing-in-openai-after-bumper-arm-ipo">열렬한 사용자</a>라고 언급했으며 이 회사의 CEO인 샘 올트먼(Sam Altman)과 강한 유대 관계를 형성했다.
그는 올트먼을 세계에서 가장 영향력 있는 인물 중 하나로 간주하고, 그들은 매일 소통한다고 말했다.
소프트뱅크는 이미 일본에서 오픈AI와 협력하여 현지 기업들이 고급 챗봇을 만들 수 있도록 지원하고 있다.
지난달, 애플의 디자인 전설인 존 아이브 경(Sir Jony Ive)도 오픈AI와의 협력을 확인했다. 이는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40973399/apples-former-design-maestro-jony-ive-confirms-hes-joined-forces-with-openais-sam-altman-for-a-new-a">새로운 AI 하드웨어 프로젝트</a>에 관한 것이다. 이전에 보고된 바에 따르면, 올트먼과 아이브는 그들의 새로운 벤처를 위해 소프트뱅크로부터 10억 달러의 자금을 확보하려고 했다.
한편, 애플은 오픈AI의 다음 자금 조달 라운드에 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41078582/tim-cook-led-apple-reportedly-abandons-openai-funding-round-discussions-but-nvidia-and-microsoft-cou">투자하기 위한 논의에서 빠져나갔다.</a> 철회는 자금 조달 라운드의 예상 종료 직전 마지막 순간에 발생했다.

AST 스페이스모바일 및 폴스타는 8월에 최고 성과를 보여준 10개 중형주 중 일부

일본 주식 시장은 전날 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40152271/mohamed-el-erian-grant-cardone-and-matt-weller-warn-of-deepening-global-market-selloff-as-yen-ri" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">역사적인 급락</a> 이후 화요일에 크게 회복되었으며, 다른 아시아 태평양 시장도 회복 조짐을 보였다.
무슨 일이 (What Happened): 닛케이 225와 일본의 광범위한 기반 토픽스(Topix)는 거의 10%의 상승세를 보였다. 이번 회복은 1987년 블랙먼데이 폭락 이후 가장 큰 손실을 보았던 월요일 거래 이후에 나온 것이다.
이 기사 작성 시점에 닛케이 지수는 8.74% 상승한 34,206.99에 거래되었으며, 토픽스 지수는 8.81% 상승하여 2,423.29에 거래되었다.
월요일 조사에서 밝혀진 바와 같이 일본의 서비스 부문 활동은 강한 내수 수요로 인해 7월에 반등했다. au Jibun Bank의 최종 서비스 구매관리자지수(PMI)는 6월 49.4에서 지난달 53.7로 상승해 21개월 만에 처음으로 위축됐다. 일본의 6월 실업률은 전월보다 2.5% 감소했다.

일본의 강력한 서비스 부문과 고용 데이터에 토쿄 주식 및 美 지수 선물 전날의 급락 후 회복

한 주가 끝나가면서 인공지능(AI)의 세계는 몇 가지 중요한 발전을 보였다. 놀라운 투자부터 전략적 인수, AI 혁신, 주가 하락까지 글로벌 AI 환경은 활발하게 움직다. 지난주 동안 AI 세계를 형성한 주요 뉴스를 살펴보겠다.
마이크로소프트의 15억 달러 투자에 우려
마이크로소프트(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>)는 UAE 기반의 AI 회사인 G42에 15억 달러를 투자한 혐의로 공화당 의회의원들으로부터 조사를 받았다. 이는 이 회사가 역사적으로 중국과 관계를 맺고 있기 때문이다. 의원들은 바이든 행정부에 이번 거래에 대한 정보 평가를 요청했다.

주간 주요 인공지능 뉴스: MS의 15억 달러 투자에 우려, 알리바바의 AI 성과 등

행동주의 투자자인 엘리엇 매니지먼트 코퍼레이션(Elliott Investment Management)는 사우스웨스트 항공(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>)에 약 20억 달러의 지분을 확보했으며 이 항공사의 주식 가치 제고를 위해 변화를 촉구할 예정이다.
무슨 일이 (What Happened): 억만장자 폴 싱어(Paul Singer)가 이끄는 헤지펀드 엘리엇 인베스트먼트 매니지먼트는 사우스웨스트 항공에서 거의 20억 달러에 달하는 지분을 축적했다고 월스트리트 저널(WSJ)이 이 문제에 정통한 소식통들을 인용해 <a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/elliott-takes-big-stake-in-southwest-airlines-bce80796?mod=hp_lead_pos4">보도</a>했다. 이 회사는 해당 항공사의 실적 부진을 해결하기 위해 사우스웨스트 경영진과 협력할 계획이다.
사우스웨스트의 주가는 지난 3년 동안 50% 이상 급락해 금요일 장을 27.75달러로 마감했는데, 이는 2020년 3월 가치보다 낮은 수준이다. 이러한 하락은 같은 기간 동안 델타 항공의 주가가 약 8% 상승하고 유나이티드 항공 홀딩스의 주가가 약 8% 하락한 것과 대조된다.
이 회사는 기술 기업 및 기타 기업들을 대상으로 경영진 개편 및 완전 판매와 같은 중대한 변화를 추진하는 것으로 유명하다. 최근 엘리엇이 직위를 구축한 회사들은 무선 타워 소유자인 크라운 캐슬(Crown Castle), NRG 에너지, 굿이어 타이어 앤드 러버 컴퍼니와 같이 CEO들을 교체하는 경우가 많다.
사우스웨스트 항공은 중요한 시기에 직면해 있다. 1970년대 텍사스에서 처음으로 신생 기업으로 출발한 이 회사는 경쟁사의 요금을 낮추고 항공 여행 수요를 자극함으로써 승객 수 기준 최대 규모의 국내 항공사로 성장했다. 댈러스에 본사를 둔 이 항공사는 보잉 737 비행기만 운항하여 비용을 낮게 유지하면서 뛰어난 서비스로 명성을 얻었다.
하지만 코로나19 사태 이전 47년 연속 흑자를 기록했던 공식이 위축 조짐을 보이고 있다. 이 항공사의 소비자 친화적인 평판도 타격을 입었다. 특히 기술 시스템이 대규모 중단을 관리하지 못해 발생한 2022년 연휴 붕괴 이후 더욱 그렇다.
사우스웨스트 항공와 엘리엇 인베스트먼트는 <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">벤징가</a>의 논평 요청에 즉시 응답하지 않았다.
왜 중요한가 (Why It Matters): 항공 산업은 코로나19 팬데믹의 영향, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/06/39161925/us-department-penalizes-3-airlines-with-2-5m-in-fines-for-slow-covid-19-refunds">느린 환불 절차</a>, 치열한 경쟁 등 수많은 어려움에 직면해 있다. 사우스웨스트의 재정적 어려움은 보잉의 배송 지연과 기술 시스템 실패로 인해 더욱 악화되었다.
엘리엇의 상당한 지분과 실적이 저조한 기업의 변화를 주도한 이력을 통해 사우스웨스트는 상당한 변화의 정점에 있을 수 있다.
엘리엇의 최근 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/24/06/39204832/elliotts-bold-play-softbanks-ai-dreams-vs-investor-demands">투자</a>에는 글로벌 기술 투자자인 소프트뱅크, 칩 제조업체인 텍사스 인스트루먼츠, 에어컨 및 건물 보안 공급업체인 존슨 컨트롤스 인터내셔널(Johnson Controls International)이 포함된다.
올 봄 초에 많은 상장 기업들이 주주총회를 진행했음에 따라 행동주의 투자자들의 활동량은 대부분 줄어든 상태이다. 올해의 주요 사건들에는 디즈니에서의 넬슨 펠츠(Nelson Peltz)의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/05/39095549/the-rich-get-richer-how-one-billionaire-lost-but-still-made-hundreds-of-millions">프록시 싸움</a>(proxy fight)이 포함되어 있으며 그의 펀드인 트라이언 파트너스(Trian Partners)는 이 거대 미디어 회사의 이사회에서 2석을 확보하지 못했고, 안코라 홀딩스(Ancora Holdings)는 철도 운영사인 노퍽 서던(Norfolk Southern)에서 3석을 성공적으로 획득했다.

행동주의 투자자 엘리엇 매니지먼트는 사우스웨스트 항공에 $20억 규모의 지분을 구축

소프트뱅크그룹(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>)의 창립자 손 마사요시는 벤처 캐피털에서 반도체 및 인공지능(AI) 투자로 방향을 바꾸고 있다.
2021년 말부터 이 회사의 주력 비전 펀드(Vision Fund)는 공개 상장 보유 자산에서 수십억 달러를 매각하거나 평가액을 낮췄다. 미국 상장 포트폴리오를 거의 290억 달러 줄인 것으로 알려졌다.
2021년 말 이후 회사의 주력 기금인 비전펀드는 상장 자산을 수천억 달러를 처분하거나 평가액을 낮췄다. 그 결과 자사의 미국 상장 포트폴리오가 290억 달러 가량 감소한 것으로 알려졌다.
한때 기술 분야의 주요 세력이었던 이 펀드도 직원을 줄이고 투자 속도를 줄였다고 <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-05-10/softbank-sells-off-vision-fund-assets-as-son-pivots-to-ai-chips?srnd=technology-vp&amp;sref=TBDibEcD" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">블룸버그는 전했다</a>.

손 마사요시의 이 펀드 포트폴리오 자산 청산은 Arm 홀딩스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>)의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/23/09/34593085/is-arm-a-buy-after-record-ipo-ceo-insights-ongoing-lawsuit-and-financials">성공적인 기업공개</a>에 이어 이루어졌다.
이후 Arm의 시장 가치는 약 1,060억 달러로 급등했다. 이는 소프트뱅크가 보유한 90% 지분의 가치를 매우 높게 만든다.
분석가들은 최근 분기별 보고서를 발표한 후 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38741725/arm-holdings-poised-to-challenge-qualcomm-intel-amd-in-ai-analysts-predict-growth-in-chip-design" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">영국의 칩 설계 회사</a> Arm을 퀄컴(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>), 인텔(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>), 어드밴스드 마이크로 디바이시스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>)를 주요 AI 수혜자로 꼽았습니다.
한편 손은 엔비디아(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)와 같은 회사들과 경쟁하고 AI 기술 개발을 지원하기 위해 1,000억 달러 규모의 칩 벤처 설립을 고려하고 있다.
소프트뱅크는 이제 주요 반도체 기업에 직접 투자하고 때로는 지배 지분을 보유하고 있다. 현재 영국 반도체 스타트업 그래프코어(Graphcore Ltd) 인수를 논의 중이며 최근 영국 기반 자율주행 스타트업 웨이브 테크놀로지스(Wayve Technologies Ltd.)에 10억 5천만 달러 규모의 자금 조달 라운드를 주도했다.
면책조항: AI 도구와의 협업에 의해 이 내용이 일부 생성된 바 있으며, Benzinga의 편집자들에 의해 검토되고 발표되었다.
