After Huang Renxun steps down, the AI financing and infrastructure network led by Huida may be affected. The outside world is worried that many transactions will be re-examined, and even the US stock market and AI craze will be affected.
CNN analysis on the 13th, Nvidia (Huida also translated as Nvidia) FounderJen-Hsun Huang (Jensen Huang) stepped down in a storm of scandal, causing a huge gap in the entire artificial intelligence industry, because he was the “kingmaker” who brokered various transactions to promote the technology boom; After Huang Jensen resigned from the CEO post, the outside world began to focus on whether the technology ecosystem he built would collapse accordingly, and whether the US stock market, which relies on the AI boom to drive the economy, is facing trouble.
Neil Wilson, a strategist at Saxo Investment Bank (Saxo), said: “The important personal role he played in all this is self-evident.” Wilson said Huang can be said to be the key figure of last resort in the entire AI ecosystem, essentially supporting huge financing and infrastructure guarantees.
Huida has provided guarantees for many AI transactions, such as its commitment to invest 105 billion yuan in the OpenAI data center project in August this year. Huida has a large stake in CoreWeave’s new cloud service provider (NeoCloud), which has become an important financial support and trust pillar. As Anthropic prepares for its initial public offering (IPO), Huida has subscribed for 10 billion yuan in shares. Huida’s graphics processing unit (GPU), OpenAI’s ChatGPT, and Anthropic’s cloud and other artificial intelligence models provide computing power support.
Jay Goldberg, a senior analyst at Wall Street research firm Seaport Research Partners, said Huida is also playing the role of “the central bank of AI.”
The report notes that “circular financing” has become a proper term to describe Huida’s financial arrangement, and companies financed by Huida in turn purchase products from Huida. Goldberg explained that a more accurate term would be “very aggressive supplier financing.”
Huang Renxun’s sudden resignation put this financing strategy under severe test.
Three months ago, Huida promised to invest 105 billion in the OpenAI data center project, followed by Huang Renxun called on six major financial institutions, including Apollo, Blackrock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs and KKR, to treat Huida’s AI infrastructure as an asset class that can be used as collateral for debt issuance, for this wave of AI boom With a goal of raising more than 500 billion yuan.
Goldberg pointed out that all this was propagated under the leadership of Huang Renxun. Some projects have not yet been finalized and may face further scrutiny or even fail. He said some smaller new cloud service providers will face greater pressure to raise funds in the future. “When we lost Jen-Hsun Huang, we also lost the driving force that was driving the industry forward.”
Mike O’Rourke, chief market strategist at Jones Trading, a securities brokerage and investment bank, said his successor will not have Huang’s influence and reputation for promoting circular trading and adopting bold sales strategies.
