PHYSIX OBSERVATION
Nvidia is trading investment for ecosystem, lashing open-source models and European startups to its own chip bandwagon. On the surface it supports European AI autonomy, but in reality it widens the CUDA moat. With European regulation tightening and anti-AI sentiment rising, Huang's move to double down now is about seizing position before policy closes in.
