NVIDIA突然中止了与仲裁的伙伴关系

该交易预计将很快正式宣布，这将使Nixum成为NVIDIA的独家以太坊合作伙伴，用于芯片制造商新的点火AI ACELERATOR，这项计划旨在支持具有基础设施资源和指导的有希望的AI风险投资。

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.

这家美国科技巨头意外地暂停了NVIDIA与仲裁之间的备受期待的伙伴关系，这增加了对区块链和人工智能交集的历史合作的不确定性。

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.

预计该交易将很快正式宣布，这将使Nixum成为NVIDIA的独家以太坊合作伙伴，用于芯片制造商的新点火AI加速器。加速器是NVIDIA现有的Inception计划的扩展，该计划特别排除了与加密货币相关的项目。

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，计划在最后一刻发生了变化。据仲裁发言人称，NVIDIA突然要求在公告中停下来，但没有提供任何解释。

“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.

发言人说：“我们在最后一分钟收到了NVIDIA的一封信，要求暂停公告，但他们没有提供特定的细节来解释原因。”

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.

该决定引发了人们对NVIDIA对加密货币行业的持续立场的疑问。尽管仲裁专注于区块链基础设施而不是投机加密项目，但NVIDIA与该行业保持了谨慎的距离。

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.

这种保守的姿势可以追溯到2018年，当时NVIDIA在以太坊的价格崩溃和初始硬币产品（ICO）繁荣的崩溃之后留下了未售出的GPU库存。那集导致了首席执行官詹森·黄（Jensen Huang）所说的“加密宿醉”，后来与该公司未能正确披露与加密相关销售的影响的550万美元罚款。

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年的一次采访中说：“加密对社会没有任何有用的东西……我从不相信[Crypto]是对人类有益的事情。”

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一直在将资源倾注到AI中。在该公司的2024年图形技术会议上，Huang引起了人们的关注，您需要的是合着者Illia Polosukhin，他还共同创立了近乎区块链，但对话完全集中在人工智能上，没有提及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的领域在各种项目中汇聚在一起，NVIDIA也使其与加密货币的脱离了很明显。
