News Summary

Nvidia has become the first company in history to reach a $4 trillion market valuation, with its shares rising by over 2%. This milestone is attributed to the high demand for AI hardware, particularly following the launch of OpenAI’s ChatGPT in late 2022. Nvidia’s GPUs, originally developed for video game graphics, are now crucial for AI model training and operation, making them indispensable to companies like OpenAI and Microsoft. Despite challenges, including potential competition from China’s DeepSeek model and tariff issues, Nvidia’s market value continues to grow, surpassing Apple’s previous record of $3.8 trillion.
