Nvidia's control over AI chip supply and the capital flowing through its ecosystem means the company captures disproportionate value while distributing execution risk to cloud providers, startups, and end customers who must all build around its products. The asymmetry is structural: Nvidia sets pricing and allocation, while customers compete for scarce GPU capacity and absorb losses if their AI applications fail to monetize. The question of who funds the buildout—hyperscalers absorbing losses as a cost of market control, or venture capital betting on narrow AI winners—shapes whether this infrastructure boom eventually consolidates wealth or distributes it across the ecosystem.
