Zuckerberg seems to like Huang’s style, but the Nvidia boss looks a bit embarrassed in the photo as he had to try on Mark’s sheepskin coat instead.
On Tuesday, the Meta boss uploaded a photo to Instagram of him and Huang posing in outfits borrowed from each other, with Mark smiling happily in the Nvidia boss’ famous leather jacket, while Jensen himself looks confused in an oversized Zuckerberg duffle coat.
“Jersey swap,” Zuckerberg captioned the post, referring to the NFL’s popular tradition of jersey swaps.
In the comments, Mark added that Huang is “like Taylor Swift – but in the world of technology.”
Jensen Huang’s bewildered look is understandable, as he had to temporarily part with the new jacket, which he wore for the first time in public, replacing the previous one, at the GTC 2024 event about 2 weeks ago. Tom’s Hardware editors then discovered that this Tom Ford piece was priced at $9,000.
Zuckerberg has rarely abandoned his style of “gray T-shirts and thinness”, but this year he has appeared for the second time in an unusual image for him – the previous one, in traditional Indian clothing, at the pre-wedding party of the son of an Asian billionaire.
The meeting between Zuckerberg and Huang was not a surprise given Meta’s ambitions to aggressively expand into the AI realm. On an earnings call last year, Mark told investors that artificial intelligence would be his company’s “biggest area of investment in 2024 for engineering and computing resources.”
Zuckerberg said in January that the company plans to have more than 340,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs by the end of 2024, and that Meta’s computing infrastructure will contain nearly 600,000 H100 computing equivalents when other GPUs are included. According to Raymond James analysts, Nvidia sells the H100 chips for between $25,000 and $30,000, and they can go for more than $40,000 on eBay – if Meta paid the minimum, it would have spent about $9 billion, so it’s no wonder Zuckerberg is trying . build a relationship with Nvidia’s boss.
It was previously reported that Mark Zuckerberg is “recruiting” Google DeepMind AI researchers through personal emails and offers them positions without interviews.
