Success Quote by Jensen Huang

Huang’s line is a classic CEO prophecy: short, forward-looking, and roomy enough to hold a product roadmap inside it. “Beginning” is doing the heavy lifting. It implies we’ve crossed a threshold, that whatever came before now looks quaint, and that the smart money moves early. For Nvidia’s chief, that’s not abstract futurism; it’s a strategic frame that turns today’s GPU arms race into an inevitable historical pivot.

The subtext is partly defensive and partly evangelical. Defensive, because “new era” language justifies breakneck spending, scarcity pricing, and a supply chain that can feel like a velvet-rope club for AI compute. Evangelical, because it converts technical infrastructure into cultural destiny: not “we’re selling chips,” but “we’re building the substrate of the future.” In that story, Nvidia isn’t a vendor; it’s an essential utility, closer to an electric grid than a gadget company.

Context matters: Huang has been saying variations of this as AI shifted from research novelty to economic platform, and as “compute” became a headline commodity alongside oil and data. The phrase also functions as a calming device amid volatility. If you convince investors, governments, and customers that a secular shift is underway, then cyclical bumps look like noise, not warning signs.

It works because it’s aspirational without being testable. No dates, no specifics, no risk acknowledgment. The promise is momentum itself: history is moving, and Nvidia is positioned as the engine.
