• Positive Sentiment: Demand catalysts continue to broaden. NVIDIA is promoting open-source AI tools, expanding into robotics and physical AI, partnering with former rival Groq, and deepening its networking and infrastructure business.

Concerns also include power, labor and chip-supply bottlenecks, as well as the risk that Chinese developers optimize models for Huawei hardware instead of U.S. GPUs. AI infrastructure bottlenecks
