💼 Huang leaves NVIDIA: Viral post on motive
Jensen Huang led NVIDIA for 33 years and stepped down as CEO on November 12, 2026. According to The Guardian and CNN, a scandal surrounding him is being investigated by an outside law firm, and shares dropped by 13%. Hours before this, a post on X by @AdvicebyAimar claimed that Huang was not against open models and selling chips to China, and that he could only be removed through control of the board of directors.
🌍 NVIDIA is the center of the US-China AI race: its chips are needed by OpenAI and others. The interim CEO is CFO Colette Kress, and Harvey Jones leads the board; they determine GPU exports to China and the stance on open models.
👤 The departure, investigation, and stock crash are confirmed; the version regarding motives is merely an opinion. Watch who becomes the permanent CEO and whether GPU exports to China and open models change — this affects the AI services you use.
