Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang, revealed that his current favourite AI chatbot is none other than Perplexity AI.
He recently gave a lengthy interview with Wired, where he was asked about his favourite AI chatbots, and a ton of other information regarding Nvidia's current direction and future plans.
When asked about what other AI tools he frequently uses, such as Gemini, ChatGPT, and Bard, he replied that he uses Perplexity AI and ChatGPT “almost every day,". He seems to have a preference for those two over all the other popular AI chatbots, according to this answer.
When asked about what he primarily uses them for, he replied, "Research. For example, computer-aided drug discovery. Maybe you would like to know about the recent advancements in computer-aided drug discovery. And so you want to frame the overall topic so that you could have a framework, and from that framework, you could ask more and more specific questions. I really love that about these large language models."
We tried out Perplexity AI for ourselves and found it extremely useful for keeping up to date with the latest news while keeping a history of your previous conversations. It seems to be capable of creating a frame of reference for the type of information you're looking for and uses it to research and keep up to date with authoritative sources on those topics.
Perplexity AI is also blazing fast and is able to give lengthy, well-written responses in a matter of seconds with little to no lag time. It's honestly hard to keep up with. One of the most impressive features is its ability to provide you with sources for whatever it's citing, so you can be sure you're not getting bogus AI-generated data.
The discussion over Perplexity was a small part of the overall interview, covering several topics. Some standout information revealed in this interview includes Nvidia looking to create a new "AI factory", their acquisition of Mellanox, their exports to China, as well as information on their new Blackwell generation of GPUs.
Lastly, Jensen Huang was asked to comment on the success of Nvidia and all the hard work it took to get the company to this point. Nvidia is currently one of the fastest-growing companies in the world and has recently hit a market value of $2 Trillion USD.
