NVIDIA is an American technology company that designs graphics processing units (GPUs) and the accelerated-computing platforms built around them. Founded in 1993 to chase realistic 3D graphics for video games, it turned its parallel-processing chips and the CUDA software layer into the dominant engine of the modern AI boom. Today its data-center systems train and run most of the world's large AI models, and the company sits at the center of the semiconductor industry with a market value above $5 trillion.
Gimlet Labs is a San Francisco applied research company building the first multi-silicon inference cloud - software that runs AI workloads simultaneously across CPUs, GPUs, and specialized accelerators. Founded by ex-Google and ex-NVIDIA engineers behind the Pixie observability project, Gimlet ships Gimlet Cloud (serverless agent inference) and kforge (autonomous kernel generation from PyTorch). The company exited stealth in October 2025 with eight-figure revenue and raised an $80M Series A led by Menlo Ventures in March 2026.

Jensen Huang is the co-founder, President, and CEO of NVIDIA, the company he has led since 1993 to become the world's most valuable semiconductor company and the first to surpass a $5 trillion market cap. Born in Taipei, Taiwan, Huang immigrated to the US at age nine, washed dishes at Denny's as a teenager, and built NVIDIA from a diner booth into the engine powering the global AI revolution. His invention of the GPU and the CUDA parallel computing platform laid the foundation for modern deep learning, and his relentless long-term vision has made him one of the most influential technologists of his generation.
