NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang on Wednesday responded to the astonishing inference gross profit data disclosed by DeepSeek, stating that the open-source model's GPU inference monetization price reached $38 per hour, far exceeding current market rental prices. Huang said that strong demand is the fundamental prerequisite for solving all current financing and supply problems, citing robust demand from multiple institutions including OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, xAI, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, and Moonshot AI.
