In \u003ci\u003eThe Thinking Machine\u003c\/i\u003e, acclaimed journalist Stephen Witt recounts the unlikely story of how a designer of video game components shocked Silicon Valley by conquering the market for AI hardware and in the process reinvented the computer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEssential to Nvidia’s meteoric success is its visionary CEO, Jensen Huang, who more than a decade ago, on the basis of a few promising scientific results, bet his entire company on AI. Through unprecedented access to Huang, his friends, his investors, and his employees, Witt documents for the first time the company’s epic rise and its iconoclastic CEO, who emerges as a compelling, single-minded, and ferocious leader, and now one of Silicon Valley’s most influential figures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Thinking Machine\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of how Nvidia evolved from providing components for circuit boards to supplying hundred-million-dollar supercomputers.
