Jensen Huang Announces Quadrupling of Optical Interconnect Capacity, Driving AI Factory Expansion and US Reindustrialization
English summary
In an AP interview and at the Coherent groundbreaking ceremony in Sherman, Texas, Jensen Huang announced plans to quadruple the capacity of the world's most advanced 6-inch indium phosphide laser fab within a year, a critical component for optical interconnects that scale AI data centers. He outlined a five-layer AI stack (energy, chips, infrastructure, models, applications) and argued that energy production is the foundational bottleneck, lauding market-driven investment in solar and nuclear without subsidies. Huang predicted global investment of trillions of dollars over the next decade to replace sixty years of legacy computing infrastructure with AI-native systems that perform real-time reasoning on facts. He framed the AI boom as a historic opportunity for US reindustrialization, claiming it has already created 600,000 manufacturing jobs and will restore dignity to builders and makers alongside information workers. On China, he acknowledged Nvidia’s 95% market share before export controls and advocated for balancing national security with maximum exports to prevent competitors from becoming dominant.
Chinese summary
在美联社访谈及Coherent位于得克萨斯州谢尔曼的新厂奠基仪式上，黄仁勋宣布将最先进的6英寸磷化铟激光器晶圆厂产能一年内提升四倍，该激光器是支撑AI数据中心光互连的关键部件。他提出AI产业的五层架构（能源、芯片、基础设施、模型、应用），指出能源是不可逾越的红线，并赞赏无补贴的市场力量投资太阳能与核能。他预测未来十年全球将投入数万亿美元构建全新计算系统，取代过去六十年的旧设备，实现基于事实的实时推理。他将此次AI浪潮视为美国再工业化的契机，称已创造约60万个制造业岗位，强调社会需要建设者与信息工作者并存的平衡。在出口管制和中国市场问题上，他透露英伟达在被禁前占据中国约95%市场份额，主张在保证国家安全的同时最大化出口和竞争，以免对手成长为巨头。
