Tel Aviv, Israel — Specks of orange light spread across the night sky as air raid sirens blare in the background.

On the day before Christmas, when stocks were barely moving, an expensive and pivotal trade sent shockwaves through the AI ​​computing race. NVIDIA was spending a reported $20 billion to license technology from chip startup Groq and hire key employees, including a CEO who had previously helped Google develop a major alternative to NVIDIA’s AI processors.
