Nvidia CEO Says Next-Gen AI Needs 100x More Compute Power for Advanced Reasoning. AI Models Like DeepSeek’s Will Require More Chips.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said next-generation AI will require 100 times more computing power due to new reasoning approaches that process answers step by step. The chipmaker exceeded analysts’ expectations, driven by strong data center revenue growth, which now makes up the vast majority of its total revenue. Nvidia’s stock remains down after its sharp decline after DeepSeek unveiled a high-performing AI model with lower infrastructure costs. Huang praised DeepSeek for open-sourcing a world-class reasoning model and emphasized that such models require more chips.
