What stands out

Jay Chaudhry opened by calling Zscaler's quarter "a record quarter from any measurement," and the conversation quickly pivoted to the Nvidia-Hugging Face tie-up, which matters more than a headline partnership. When cloud security vendors trumpet record demand and then point to model-hosting deals, you should notice the plumbing behind generative AI: GPUs, datacenter capacity, and enterprise contracts. CNBC gave investors a front-row reminder that software vendors and AI model hosts are feeding into Nvidia's hardware narrative, not replacing it.
