Nvidia makes most of their money selling GPUs as computational accelerators-- both generic CUDA and neural network applications.

They don't _need_ to profit off their ML models. It's a value added service. Ensuring their hardware has marketshare at the leading edge of the ecosystem is the main point.

They didn't profit off of ML models, they profited from the DARPA contract. See point above about murder robots.
