Would you say that Nvidia's role in AI is based off software or hardware?

Software, there are 100s of ai hardware startups. It’s easier relatively to build a domain specific chip, but building a compiler stack that integrates with a major framework and gets good perf from your chip is incredibly difficult. Getting people to switch from nvidia? Even harder
Just like a car needs both an engine and tires, software and hardware are equally critical to success. Something that AMD just does not get.
Today? Both.
Yes.
