英伟达首席执行官黄仁勋正带着数十亿美元的支票簿和宏大的雄心穿梭欧洲:让英伟达成为全球人工智能经济不可或缺的基石。

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is crisscrossing Europe with a multibillion-dollar checkbook and a grand ambition: Make his company the indispensable backbone of the global AI economy.

为何重要:在对人工智能泡沫的担忧动摇华尔街之际,黄仁勋正致力于将繁荣推向美国和中国之外——争取各国政府支持、资助初创企业,并为英伟达芯片开拓巨大的新市场。

Why it matters: fears of an AI bubble rattle Wall Street, Huang is working to spread the boom beyond the U.S. and China — courting governments, bankrolling startups and cultivating massive new markets for Nvidia's chips.

大局观:这位人工智能教父正试图凭一己之力为英伟达芯片构建一个新市场,押注世界各国政府和机构都将想要拥有自己高度定制化、运行开源模型的数据中心。

The big picture: The godfather of AI is trying to single-handedly build a new market for Nvidia chips, betting that governments and institutions around the world will want their own, highly customized data centers running open models.

  • 如果奏效,这可能恰逢另一大客户群体——新云服务商——财务状况显得摇摇欲坠之时,为英伟达芯片的需求提供支撑。

• If it works, it could shore up demand for Nvidia chips just as another big group of customers — neoclouds — appear financially shaky. Driving the news:

新闻驱动因素:既是表演者又是推销员,黄仁勋在过去一周横跨欧洲传播人工智能福音,为周三在柏林举行的英伟达旗舰大会主题演讲造势。

Part showman, part salesman, Huang has spent the past week preaching the gospel of AI across Europe ahead of a keynote Wednesday at Nvidia's flagship conference in Berlin.

  • 在法国,黄仁勋宣布投资四家初创企业,手持威士忌杯半开玩笑说他是“欧洲最大的风投”。总统马克龙在巴黎欢迎他,法国经济部长将人工智能革命比作淘金热。

• In France, Huang announced investments in four startups and joked, whisky glass in hand, that he's "the biggest VC in Europe." President Emmanuel Macron welcomed him to Paris, while France's economy minister compared the AI revolution to the Gold Rush.

  • 在英国,黄仁勋模仿奥普拉·温弗瑞的风格,宣布入股五家初创企业。“我给你们钱!我给你们钱!我给你们钱!”他在一座改建的伦敦教堂舞台上高声喊道。

• In Britain, Huang channeled Oprah Winfrey while announcing stakes in five startups. "I am giving you money! And I am giving you money! And I am giving you money!" he shouted from the stage of a converted London church.

  • 在瑞典,黄仁勋发布了一台由该国工业精英支持的超级计算机,将英伟达技术比作能将数年的科学研究压缩为数天的“时光机”。

• In Sweden, Huang unveiled a supercomputer backed by the country's industrial elite, likening Nvidia's technology to a "time machine" capable of compressing years of scientific research into days.

  • 在德国,黄仁勋向总理梅尔茨发起挑战,敦促欧洲放松监管本能。“如果产业不繁荣,就没有什么可监管的,”他在周一警告说,“给德国一个机会。给这个产业一个机会。”

• In Germany, Huang challenged Chancellor Friedrich Merz to loosen Europe's regulatory instincts. "There's nothing to regulate if the industry doesn't thrive," he warned Monday. "Give Germany a chance. Give this industry a chance."

深度观察:在黄仁勋全球战略的核心,是“主权人工智能”——这一理念认为,每个国家都应该建设并控制自己的AI基础设施、数据和模型,而不是依赖美国或中国的科技巨头。

Zoom in: At the heart of Huang's global strategy is "sovereign AI" — the idea that every nation should build and control its own AI infrastructure, data and models, rather than depend on U.S. or Chinese tech giants.

  • 除了在欧洲投资约100亿美元外,英伟达还在协助沙特阿拉伯、韩国、印度、马来西亚和非洲构建国家级AI生态系统。

• In addition to roughly $10 billion in investments in Europe, Nvidia is helping build national AI ecosystems across Saudi Arabia, South Korea, India, Malaysia and Africa.

  • 对黄仁勋而言,其战果是一大批全新的客户,其中包括将AI基础设施视为经济和国家安全当务之急的整个国家。

• For Huang, the prize is a vast new class of customers, including entire countries that see AI infrastructure as an economic and national security imperative.

弦外之音:黄仁勋的全球攻势正值AI产业的一个微妙时刻,华尔街越来越质疑这项技术的巨大前景是否能够证明其天价成本是合理的。

Between the lines: Huang's global offensive comes at a precarious moment for the AI industry, with Wall Street increasingly questioning whether the technology's enormous promise can justify its astronomical costs.

  • 英伟达支持的CoreWeave及其他“新云”(neocloud)服务商的股票和债券纷纷暴跌,这加剧了人们的担忧,即那些借款数十亿美元来购买英伟达芯片的公司可能难以偿还债务。

• Shares and bonds of Nvidia-backed CoreWeave and other "neocloud" providers have plunged, fueling fears that the companies borrowing billions to buy Nvidia's chips may struggle to pay their debts.

  • 投资者还在审视一种循环资金流向,即英伟达协助融资那些购买其产品的公司,这引发了人们对有多少需求能够自给自足的质疑。

• Investors are also scrutinizing a circular flow of money in which Nvidia helps finance the very companies buying its products, raising questions about how much demand is self-sustaining. What to

在市场动荡时期,黄仁勋已成为AI产业的主要啦啦队长,他用需求仍在加速的保证来反驳泡沫论的预测。

Huang has emerged as the AI industry's chief cheerleader during periods of market turmoil, countering predictions of a bubble with assurances that demand is still accelerating.

  • 他在柏林的发表的主旨演讲提供了又一个安抚投资者的机会,其论点是,下一波AI支出将来自把这项技术视为国家必需品而非投机押注的各国政府。

• His Berlin keynote offers another chance to calm investors by arguing that the next wave of AI spending will come from governments treating the technology as a national necessity, not a speculative bet.

底线:竞相在AI时代确保自身独立的国家,最终可能会发现自己比以往任何时候都更加依赖一家美国公司。

The bottom line: Countries racing to secure their independence in the AI age may find themselves more reliant than ever on one American company.
