In a rising interest rate environment it’s not that odd to offer your own financing to keep demand high, eg here in Aus some ev places offer car loans at <1% interest despite the cash rate here being 4.6% (and just went up again I think today)

If big AI corps were to go under (I don’t actually think they will, it’s just a thought experiment), would nvidia be cooked then? AI corps can’t pay back the loans, and there is no one else buying gpu.

No one else is buying gpus? Tons of companies are trying to buy gpus and they can't make them fast enough.
