Jensen Huang Says AI Only Really Started Working 6 Months Ago

Oct 27, 2026

Nvidia's CEO is openly admitting AI barely worked until recently, and that shift is why he and other bulls think the spending boom has much further to run.

  • Nvidia's Jensen Huang said AI technology "barely worked" as recently as six months ago, but has since improved enormously across coding, video editing, legal work, HR, and customer service.
  • Huang pushed back on the idea that only OpenAI and Anthropic are funding the AI buildout, arguing ordinary businesses are now spending heavily too, which broadens and extends the boom.
  • Nvidia already has orders stretching into 2028 and 2029 for next-generation chips (including the unreleased Vera Rubin Ultra), showing customers have long-term confidence despite not having tested the product yet.
  • Wall Street's earnings estimates for Nvidia have been revised sharply higher this year as the AI improvements translate into real demand, with forecasts for 2029 now far above earlier estimates.
  • Based on growth-adjusted valuation math, Nvidia and AMD both look undervalued relative to their expected growth, with Nvidia seen as the cheaper of the two.

Outlook: As long as the job market holds up, rising business spending on AI chips is expected to keep pushing these stocks higher over the next few years.
