Larry Ellison, the CEO of Oracle, discusses his efforts to acquire graphic chips from NVIDIA. He recounts having to break bread with Elon Musk and Jensen Huang while requesting NVIDIA to accept a hefty sum for the graphic chips, noting that the request was successful.
Oracle has seen relative success in providing cloud services for artificial intelligence. Over the past year, they have been offering cloud services with Microsoft.
The NVIDIA H100 chip has faced delays in delivery. The H100 chip may require waiting for products for up to 6 months, although waiting times have started to decrease in recent weeks. However, the latest Blackwell chip also faces similar delivery delays.
