Google announces a 10 year partnership with Nvidia

According to Google CEO Sundar Pichai, the partnership between Google and the chip maker Nvidia will continue for at least another ten years from now.

Google and Nvidia are two tech giants that play a crucial role in developing future technologies. The meeting point between both companies is now AI. Google is adding AI to almost all its services, and Nvidia produces high-tech AI hardware for various companies. A strategic partnership between Google and Nvidia could significantly impact the AI segment.

In an interview with Wired, Sundar Pichai alluded to the partnership between Google and Nvidia for Android and other initiatives that lasted for over a decade. Pichai added that Nvidia has a “strong track record” with AI innovation. Google CEO also said AI is “one of the most profound technologies we will ever work on.”

Google and Nvidia will team up to shape the future of AI

Pichai added that semiconductor is a dynamic, competitive industry that requires deep, long-term R&D and investments. “I feel comfortable about our relationship with Nvidia and that we are going to be working closely with them ten years from now.” He noted.

In August, Google Cloud customers could gain access to the technology powered by Nvidia’s H100 GPUs. Nvidia chips are now used in training large language models such as ChatGPT and Google Bard.

Major tech companies, government agencies, and startups are all using GPUs made by Nvidia. Nvidia’s influence in the AI market has expanded to some extent that the DeepMind CEO is suggesting the US government use its chips for AI rule enforcement.

Google and Microsoft are now fighting to become the leaders of AI. Microsoft could access the OpenAI tech by investing over $10 billion in the company. In response, Google merged Brain and DeepMind teams to concentrate all its resources to challenge Microsoft.

Of course, both OpenAI ChatGPT and Google Bard rely on Nvidia chips for training. So, any rivalry between Google and Microsoft increases Nvidia’s stock value. The chip maker has recently announced its quarterly revenue has doubled from a year earlier and they also expect a 170% growth from the year-ago period.
