Trump’s AI Agreement with Middle East Paves New Path for NVIDIA, Challenging China; Up to One Million Accelerators Expected to Ship

Wow, so imagine this: NVIDIA, that big tech company, suddenly getting all chummy with the Middle East. Weird, right? Anyway, Trump (yeah, him) is signing deals like he’s on some shopping spree with oil-loaded countries. Who knew GPUs were the new hot toy?

### Saudi Arabia, Qatar & UAE Splurge on AI Chips

So, NVIDIA is kinda having a rough patch with China. Who isn’t, right? Politics, yada yada. But, turns out, Trump’s jetting off to places like Saudi Arabia and Qatar with Jensen Huang from NVIDIA tagging along. Seems like there’s a big AI shopping list involved.

There’s this fancy new AI company, HUMAIN. It’s like a billion-dollar whirlwind. They’re buying a truckload—well, over 18,000—of these NVIDIA Blackwell clusters. No idea what that means exactly. But, sounds huge! Plus, HUMAIN’s got a $10 billion thing going on with AMD too. I can’t even wrap my head around these numbers.

Oh yeah, there was a picture here, but, can’t say much about images, so, moving on…

Now, onto the UAE. There’s this firm G42 planning to grab over a million NVIDIA chips over ten years. I mean, a million! It’s like they won the AI lottery. Makes you wonder if the US wants to depend less on China, but only slightly awkward when China’s like, peeking over everyone’s shoulder.

Here’s the kicker though, some US officials are kinda fidgety about these deals. They’re worried it could leave the US lagging in the AI race, or worse, China finding a backdoor to sneak in. Politics… always complicating stuff.

Did that capture the messiness? Sort of feels like untangling knitting yarn, doesn’t it?
