2.5 Hours Inside the Mind of the $4.5T CEO
Jensen Huang Sits Down with Lex Friedman
The Conversation: Jensen Huang joined @lexfridman for Podcast #494 on March 23 — a 2.5-hour interview that became one of the most-watched episodes of the year. Huang covered how he runs @nvidia with no one-on-one meetings, why AI scaling laws are still holding firm, and the biggest blockers to continued progress: memory, power, and supply chain.
Why It Matters: The real story was guidance: Nvidia projected Q1 revenue of approximately $78 billion, well above the $72.6B consensus. CEO Jensen Huang cited "skyrocketing" AI agent adoption.
OpenAI Plans to Nearly Double Its Workforce to 8,000
While most of tech has been cutting headcount for two years, @OpenAI is going the other direction. The company has $25 billion in annualized revenue, raised $110 billion in February, and shipped GPT-5.4 in March. The hiring push isn't just about building better models — it's about deploying them across every industry at scale. @OpenAI is building the organization to match the technology.
Google Launches Gemini 3.1 Flash Live in 200+ Countries
Google announced Gemini 3.1 Flash Live on March 26 — its "highest-quality audio and voice model yet." It delivers faster responses, lower latency, improved tonal understanding, and better noise filtering. On ComplexFuncBench Audio, it scores 90.8%, and Gemini Live can now follow conversations for twice as long.
@Google used the launch to roll out Search Live globally to 200+ countries, supporting 90+ languages for real-time multimodal conversations. Gemini Live dynamically adjusts its tone and answer length in real time, and all audio is watermarked with SynthID. This isn't just a model upgrade; it's @Google putting voice-first AI in front of billions in one move. Distribution at this scale is the moat.
