NVIDIA’s Open Software Trap: The Real Cost of the New Inference Stack

SUMMARY: We dig into the NVIDIA GTC keynote and highlight three things - accelerated computing for everything, the complexity of the new inference stack, and NVIDIA’s “open” software stack including NemoClaw.

SHOW NOTES:
• NVIDIA GTC 2026 (Keynote) (youtube.com/watch?v=jw_o0xr8MWU)
• NVIDIA NemoClaw (nvidia.com/en-us/ai/nemoclaw) - OpenClaw + OpenShell + NVIDIA Agent Toolkit
• NVIDIA adds Groq LPU to their rack systems (theregister.com/2026/03/19/nvidia_lpx_deep_dive)
• NVIDIA to invest $26B in Open Weight Models (wired.com/story/nvidia-investing-26-billion-op…)
• Interview with Jensen about Accelerated Computing (stratechery.com/2026/an-interview-with-nvidia-…) (Stratechery)

Topic 1 - Jensen’s trying to paint the bigger picture of accelerated computing everywhere (robotics, autonomous driving, gen-ai, physical ai - but also just everyday enterprise apps). Everything is about keeping the stock price up, and margins high. The stock price provides the warchest to fight off all foes.
Topic 2 - The inference architecture is a complex mix of GPUs, CPUs, ASICs/LPUs, high-speed networking and seems very different from the training architecture. How big is the burden on data center providers? What are the inference alternatives emerging?
Topic 3 - Jensen talked a lot about OpenClaw and eventually about NVIDIA’s NemoClaw. How does his interest in Agentic AI tie into his interest in building NVIDIA’s own frontier model
