Nvidia's acquisition spree—Hugging Face and Poolside—shows a company consolidating hardware, open-source infrastructure, and algorithmic talent into a single stack. This matters because it creates a single point of failure: if Nvidia's supply chains, pricing, or strategic priorities shift, the AI ecosystem stalls and competitors lose viable alternative paths to scale. The VC exits mask a reality: startups aren't choosing to sell because they've built independent value, but because Nvidia's gravitational pull makes it harder to compete without entering the acquirer's orbit.
