Right, it's clear that nVidia is taking care and trying to position itself so that it can continue making sales if and when inference goes local. And it's in a much better intrinsic position to do that than the LLM SaaS vendors are: nVidia sells shovels to the army, but it also knows how to sell shovels to Walmart. Whether the financial relationships that Huang's got his company into will cause it problems if the market shifts is a different question, though.

AFAIK NVIDIA unified memory is not as... "unified" as Apple's

As is AMD Strix Point
