US Supreme Court grants bail in the NVIDIA case, permitting a shareholder lawsuit to move forward. The technical details of the hearing seemed to overwhelm the justices. The NVIDIA case that the US Supreme Court had previously agreed to hear was dismissed as improvidently granted. The ruling permits the majority of the shareholder lawsuit against the chip manufacturer to move forward, as quoted in a report by Engadget. A pension fund and an investment firm filed the lawsuit against NVIDIA, alleging the company misled investors about its dependence on the cryptocurrency mining sector. The lawsuit alleges that before a 2018 crash that caused the chip maker's stock prices to plummet, NVIDIA concealed its reliance on the market.

Lisa Su, the CEO of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), its CEO of the Year, a recognition that highlights her transformative leadership and the remarkable turnaround of the company. Since taking over as CEO in 2014, Su has propelled AMD from a struggling competitor to a dominant player in the semiconductor industry, challenging the long-standing supremacy of Intel and, more recently, Nvidia. This award comes as the semiconductor sector is undergoing explosive growth, fueled by breakthroughs in artificial intelligence (AI) and the growing demand for graphics processing units (GPUs)—both of which have been central to AMD's strategy under Su’s leadership.

Jensen Huang, Chris Malachowsky and Curtis Priem — gathered at the diner, now the heart of Silicon Valley, to discuss building a computer chip that would make graphics for video games faster and more realistic. That conversation, and the ones that followed, led to the founding of Nvidia, the tech company that soared through the ranks of the stock market to briefly top Microsoft as the most valuable company in the S&P 500 this year. Nvidia has a market cap or net worth of $3.41 trillion as of December 11, 2024, now worth as much as Apple and Microsoft. The poster child of the artificial intelligence boom, Nvidia, whose hardware is now found in all Tesla vehicles, may bring the next industrial revolution in the tech world. It is successful than anybody could have ever imagined because of its charismatic leader. ALSO READ: What is Willow? Google's quantum computing chip explained in 10 points

Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, is the 10th-richest person in the United States, worth $127 billion. In theory, when he dies, his estate should pay 40% of his net worth to the government in taxes. But Huang, 61, is not only an engineering genius and Silicon Valley icon whose company, the world's second-most valuable, makes the chips that power much artificial intelligence. He is also the beneficiary of a series of tax dodges that will enable him to pass on much of his fortune tax free, according to securities and tax filings reviewed by The New York Times. The savings for his family are on a pace to be roughly $8 billion. It likely ranks among the largest tax dodges in the United States.

Not far away in a north Austin high-rise, designers at Amazon developed a new and faster version of an AI chip called Trainium. They then tested the chip in creations including palm-size circuit boards and complex computers the size of two refrigerators. Those two efforts in the capital of Texas reflect a shift in the rapidly evolving market of AI chips, which are perhaps the hottest and most coveted technology of the moment. The industry has long been dominated by Nvidia, which has leveraged its AI chips to become a $3 trillion behemoth. For years, others tried to match the company's chips, which provide enormous computing power for AI tasks, but made little progress.
