Nvidia accused of funding AI startups to buy its own GPUs

Original: Nvidia allegedly engineered scarcity by funding AI startups to buy its GPUs

Nvidia faces allegations that it deliberately engineered apparent scarcity of its GPUs by financing AI startups that then used the money to purchase Nvidia chips, inflating demand signals. The claim, reported by TechPowerUp, is drawing wide attention among tech commentators, with debate over whether the practice constitutes circular financing that misrepresented genuine market demand for its hardware.

Why now: Serious allegations of demand manipulation by the dominant AI chipmaker raise antitrust and market-trust concerns.
