Huang's departure has sent shockwaves through the AI industry, where Nvidia has been a dominant player, supplying 85% of all AI chips over the past five years. The company's financial dealings, including risky financing arrangements with \"Neocloud\" firms like Coreweave, Nebius, Lambda, and Together AI, are now under scrutiny. Nvidia's new interim CEO, Colette Kress, may take a more cautious approach to investments and financing.",
