エヌビディアは、最終的に自社のチップを購入するAI業界全体に数十億ドルを投資している。著名な経済学者タイラー・コーウェン氏は、これによりブームがバブルではなく、より持続可能なものになる可能性があると述べている。コーウェン氏はポッドキャスト「Prof G Markets」で、エヌビディアは同セクターにとって一種の貸し手または最後の買い手として機能しており、マイクロソフト、アルファベット、メタも同様の役割を果たしていると語った。同氏は、新技術は立ち上がる際に支援が必要なことが多く、AIに流れ込む巨額の資本は成功の可能性を高めると主張した。エヌビディアはAnthropicに最大100億ドルをコミットし、8月にはアポロ、ブラックロック、ブラックストーン、ブルックフィールド、ゴールドマン・サックス、KKRと提携して、AIインフラに5000億ドル以上を動員するプラットフォームを構築した。また、SBエナジーのオハイオ州データセンターキャンパスにおけるOpenAI関連のリース債務最大1050億ドルを保証し、SBエナジーに15億ドルを投資して、同施設の独占的なAIコンピューティングプロバイダーとなることに合意した。コーウェン氏はバブル論争を退け、このブームを1920年代の自動車になぞらえ、投資家は製品が機能するかどうかを問うべきであり、その答えは明らかにイエスだと述べた。同氏は、負債で賄われたデータセンターがブームが反転した場合にマクロ経済に悪影響を及ぼす可能性があると警告したが、その影響は2008年の危機には及ばないだろうと述べた。
