CUDA, woulda, shoulda be first port of call for AI slingers, but does it respect its own dominance?
The European Union's Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager reckons there is a"huge bottleneck" in the supply of Nvidia's GPUs - but her department has yet to make any decision on whether it needs to take regulatory action over this.

Nvidia is arguably a monopoly player, with the California-based biz said to have an 88 percent share of the GPU market, according to recent figures fromNvidia's newest products are in high demand, and there are conflicting accounts regarding whether or not there is a shortage of them.
It claimed that Nvidia has a strong case because"its success has been built on providing a superior product" rather than attempting to stifle competition. However, it also warned that the AI industry's reliance on Nvidia's CUDA software and the company's efforts to integrate technology such as networking with its AI kit looks to be causing"some disquiet" among competition authorities.
