Summary
Recorded live at Sequoia’s Europe100 event: Michael Kagan, co-founder of Mellanox and CTO of Nvidia, explains how the $7 billion Mellanox acquisition helped transform Nvidia from a chip company into the architect of AI infrastructure. Kagan breaks down the technical challenges of scaling from single GPUs to 100K and eventually million-GPU data centers. He reveals why network performance—not just compute power—determines AI system efficiency. He discusses the shift from training to inference workloads, and his vision for AI as humanity's "spaceship of the mind," and why he thinks AI may help us discover laws of physics we haven’t yet imagined.
