NVIDIA's surge to dominance wasn't luck — it was three audacious, long‑term bets that built an ecosystem no competitor could easily touch. We analyze how Jensen Huang turned a gaming GPU maker into the backbone of modern AI by combining software, hardware, and strategic partnerships into a self‑reinforcing platform.

From an interdisciplinary lens — strategy, computer architecture, and network effects — we unpack the patience, engineering choices, and market moves that created the "CUDA Moat." Learn why CUDA mattered, how specialized accelerators and Tensor Cores locked in performance leads, and why partnerships (like OpenAI) converted product sales into platform power.

What We'll Discuss:
- 🧩 CUDA’s long game and developer adoption
- ⚙️ Hardware innovations: Tensor Cores & NVLink
- 🏛️ Data center pivot and revenue transformation
- 🤝 Strategic partnerships and ecosystem lock‑in
- ♻️ Switching costs and competitive responses
- 🔭 Lessons for building platform monopolies
