ChipsThe story, in brief
Nvidia’s AI networking moat is real – but the lock-in debate continues
Nvidia's networking advantage just became non-negotiable. Here's why agentic inference changes the game.
The KeyNews take
Why it matters
As AI workloads shift toward agentic inference, network infrastructure moves from peripheral to core compute—cementing Nvidia's moat but intensifying lock-in concerns for enterprise buyers.
