Nvidia Faces Margin Pressure as Chinese AI Models and Custom Chips Gain Ground

Summary
Nvidia is confronting a fresh squeeze on profitability as cheaper Chinese AI models and in-house chips from hyperscalers threaten its pricing power.
Chinese competitors are gaining traction with lower-cost models, undercutting demand for premium Nvidia-backed AI infrastructure and raising pressure on margins.
Hyperscalers are adding to that strain by designing custom silicon, reducing reliance on Nvidia GPUs in parts of their AI buildout.
The combined shift points to a tougher growth path for Nvidia, whose dominance now faces pressure from both lower-cost rivals and key customers turning inward.
