NVIDIA突然中止了與仲裁的伙伴關係

該交易預計將很快正式宣布，這將使Nixum成為NVIDIA的獨家以太坊合作夥伴，用於芯片製造商新的點火AI ACELERATOR，這項計劃旨在支持具有基礎設施資源和指導的有希望的AI風險投資。

A highly anticipated partnership between Nvidia and Arbitrum has been unexpectedly suspended by the US tech giant, adding uncertainty over what could be a historic collaboration in the intersection of blockchain and Artificial Intelligence.

這家美國科技巨頭意外地暫停了NVIDIA與仲裁之間的備受期待的伙伴關係，這增加了對區塊鍊和人工智能交集的歷史合作的不確定性。

The deal, which was expected to be formally announced soon, would have seen Arbitrum become Nvidia’s exclusive Ethereum partner for the chipmaker’s new Ignition AI Accelerator. The accelerator is an extension of Nvidia’s existing Inception Program, which notably excludes cryptocurrency-related projects.

預計該交易將很快正式宣布，這將使Nixum成為NVIDIA的獨家以太坊合作夥伴，用於芯片製造商的新點火AI加速器。加速器是NVIDIA現有的Inception計劃的擴展，該計劃特別排除了與加密貨幣相關的項目。

However, plans shifted at the last minute. According to an Arbitrum spokesperson, Nvidia abruptly requested a pause in the announcement but provided no explanation.

但是，計劃在最後一刻發生了變化。據仲裁發言人稱，NVIDIA突然要求在公告中停下來，但沒有提供任何解釋。

“We received a letter from Nvidia at the last minute requesting to pause the announcement, but they did not provide specific details explaining the reason,” the spokesperson said.

發言人說：“我們在最後一分鐘收到了NVIDIA的一封信，要求暫停公告，但他們沒有提供特定的細節來解釋原因。”

The decision has fuelled questions about Nvidia’s ongoing stance toward the crypto industry. Despite Arbitrum’s focus on blockchain infrastructure rather than speculative crypto projects, Nvidia has maintained a cautious distance from the sector.

該決定引發了人們對NVIDIA對加密貨幣行業的持續立場的疑問。儘管仲裁專注於區塊鏈基礎設施而不是投機加密項目，但NVIDIA與該行業保持了謹慎的距離。

This conservative posture dates back to 2018, when Nvidia was left with unsold GPU inventory after Ethereum’s price crash and the collapse of the initial coin offering (ICO) boom. That episode led to what CEO Jensen Huang described as a “crypto hangover,” and later resulted in a $5.5 million fine over the company’s failure to properly disclose the impact of crypto-related sales.

這種保守的姿勢可以追溯到2018年，當時NVIDIA在以太坊的價格崩潰和初始硬幣產品（ICO）繁榮的崩潰之後留下了未售出的GPU庫存。那集導致了首席執行官詹森·黃（Jensen Huang）所說的“加密宿醉”，後來與該公司未能正確披露與加密相關銷售的影響的550萬美元罰款。

Furthermore, Nvidia CTO Michael Kagan, in a 2023 interview, stated: “Crypto doesn’t bring anything useful for society… I never believed that [crypto] is something that will do something good for humanity.”

此外，NVIDIA CTO Michael Kagan在2023年的一次採訪中說：“加密對社會沒有任何有用的東西……我從不相信[Crypto]是對人類有益的事情。”

In contrast, Nvidia has been pouring resources into AI. At the company’s 2024 Graphics Technology Conference, Huang shared the stage with Attention Is All You Need co-author Illia Polosukhin, who also co-founded the NEAR blockchain, but the conversation focused entirely on artificial intelligence, with no mention of crypto.

相比之下，NVIDIA一直在將資源傾注到AI中。在該公司的2024年圖形技術會議上，Huang引起了人們的關注，您需要的是合著者Illia Polosukhin，他還共同創立了近乎區塊鏈，但對話完全集中在人工智能上，沒有提及Crypto。

Therefore, even as the domains of AI and crypto converge in various projects, Nvidia has made its disengagement from crypto very evident.

因此，即使AI和Crypto的領域在各種項目中匯聚在一起，NVIDIA也使其與加密貨幣的脫離了很明顯。
