JENSEN HUANG PERSONALLY DELIVERED THE FIRST AI SUPERCOMPUTER TO OPENAI IN HIS CAR - AND NOBODY ELSE WANTED IT in 2016 NVIDIA built the DGX-1 - 8 Volta GPUs connected with NVLink - it cost billions of dollars to build and on launch day there were zero customers, zero interest and 100% confusion the only question people asked was: does it run Windows the only company that wanted it was a small nonprofit startup in San Francisco with no money - so Jensen put the DGX-1 in his car and drove it up himself that company was OpenAI - and that computer became the foundation of everything that led to ChatGPT 10 years later that same DGX badge sits on a box the size of a paperback that anyone can buy for $2,999 and run on their desk Jensen's lesson from that day: if a developer reaches out and needs a GPU - the answer is yes the supercomputer nobody wanted in 2016 is the reason you're reading this in 2026
