Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Took a Call From Donald Trump in the Middle of an All-Hands

英伟达 CEO 黄仁勋在全员大会期间接到了唐纳德·特朗普的电话

President Donald Trump interrupted Nvidia’s all-hands staff meeting on Thursday morning when he called CEO Jensen Huang midway through, three sources who witnessed the interaction tell WIRED. 据三位目睹了这一过程的消息人士向《连线》（WIRED）透露，周四上午，唐纳德·特朗普总统在英伟达全员大会进行到一半时，致电了公司 CEO 黄仁勋，打断了会议。

Nvidia’s all-hands meetings typically involve Huang presenting or answering questions, on stage, to in-person staff at the company’s Santa Clara, California, headquarters, while thousands of remote employees tune in to a virtual livestream. During the meeting on Thursday, Huang received a call on his mobile phone, which he stepped aside to take. 英伟达的全员大会通常由黄仁勋在加州圣克拉拉总部现场向员工进行演讲或回答提问，同时有数千名远程员工通过虚拟直播参与。在周四的会议期间，黄仁勋的手机响了，他随即走到一旁接听了电话。

Staffers could clearly hear Trump’s distinctive voice through Huang’s onstage microphone, although they couldn’t make out what he was saying. Less than a minute later, Huang returned to the stage and resumed the company meeting. 员工们可以通过黄仁勋舞台上的麦克风清晰地听到特朗普那极具辨识度的声音，尽管他们无法听清具体内容。不到一分钟后，黄仁勋回到舞台，继续主持公司会议。

A spokesperson for Nvidia declined to comment on the incident. But staffers were abuzz about the president’s inadvertent interruption. 英伟达的一位发言人拒绝就此事置评。但员工们对总统的这次“意外插曲”议论纷纷。

In a post on social media later that day, Trump congratulated Huang on Nvidia’s “incredible” quarterly sales and rosy financial forecast for next year. On Wednesday, Nvidia had reported second-quarter revenue of $96 billion, up 106 percent from the same period last year. 当天晚些时候，特朗普在社交媒体上发文，祝贺黄仁勋带领英伟达取得了“令人难以置信”的季度销售业绩，并对明年的财务前景表示看好。周三，英伟达公布的第二季度营收为 960 亿美元，较去年同期增长了 106%。

Huang regularly jet-sets to Washington to lobby government officials on behalf of his company’s interests—selling chips and building AI infrastructure—and has been in closed-door meetings with Trump before. But the president’s direct call to Huang came at an interesting moment for Nvidia: Earlier on Thursday, the chip giant announced a new employee-funded political action committee, through which it plans to donate to federal candidates as debate around AI policy grows. Nvidia and the Trump administration haven’t always agreed on how to regulate open AI models and sales of advanced chips to China. Bloomberg Law first reported the news of the Nvidia PAC. 黄仁勋经常飞往华盛顿，代表公司利益（如销售芯片和建设人工智能基础设施）游说政府官员，此前也曾与特朗普进行过闭门会谈。但总统直接致电黄仁勋的时机对英伟达来说颇为微妙：周四早些时候，这家芯片巨头宣布成立一个新的员工资助型政治行动委员会（PAC），计划随着人工智能政策辩论的升温，通过该委员会向联邦候选人提供捐款。英伟达与特朗普政府在如何监管开源人工智能模型以及向中国销售先进芯片等问题上，并不总能达成一致。彭博法律（Bloomberg Law）率先报道了英伟达成立政治行动委员会的消息。

The Information recently reported that Nvidia agreed to acquire the open-source platform company Hugging Face, which makes AI data sets, models, and development tools widely available to software engineers who are building AI. An acquisition could be valued at more than $13 billion, Business Insider reports, which would almost certainly require merger approval from US antitrust regulators. 据《The Information》近期报道，英伟达已同意收购开源平台公司 Hugging Face。该公司为构建人工智能的软件工程师提供了广泛的人工智能数据集、模型和开发工具。据《商业内幕》（Business Insider）报道，此次收购估值可能超过 130 亿美元，这几乎肯定需要获得美国反垄断监管机构的合并批准。
