Maybe I just hadn't noticed before but seems like NVIDIA is making some major plays in venture investing now (one wonders if it is in-kind with H100's or cash). There was this announcement and Runway AI just raised $141M today and NVIDIA is one of the investors. I wonder if they are prioritizing deliver of their chips to the companies they've invested in... I imagine in this environment that could be a serious strategic advantage (at least in the short term).
