NVIDIA is the company whose graphics processing units (GPUs) and accelerated-computing software underpin most modern AI. Its about page describes NVIDIA as engineering “the most advanced chips, systems, and software for the AI factories of the future” and frames generative AI as “a new computing platform, like the PC, internet, and mobile-cloud.”
As of June 2026, NVIDIA’s site presents the company across accelerated computing, AI chips and systems, RTX graphics, and the Omniverse platform for industrial digital twins, positioning AI and digital twins as transforming the world’s largest industries. NVIDIA’s hardware and its CUDA software ecosystem are the dominant platform on which the major model families are trained and served.
Why business readers should care: NVIDIA is the primary supplier of the compute that AI runs on, so its products, supply, and pricing set a hard constraint on what every AI provider can build and what it costs.
