The AI market has experienced a significant shake-up following the introduction of a cheaper Chinese alternative, leading to NVIDIA's historic $600 billion loss in market value. Despite this, NVIDIA's core strengths, including its dominant Cuda programming language, remain intact, and the company still boasts a 100% stock gain over the past year. The upheaval may benefit other tech giants like Amazon and Meta, as investors shift towards companies with proven business models, indicating a more discerning approach to AI investments.
