## Summary

Jensen Huang’s resignation has stunned Nvidia employees and Silicon Valley investors, many of whom had expected him to remain in charge despite reports of alleged affairs. Several prominent supporters have argued that his long record as Nvidia’s founder and leader should outweigh the allegations, while some employees say the sudden shift has been difficult to process.

Reports described two additional alleged relationships with Nvidia staff, alongside the earlier affair involving Alice Huang, whom the article says is suspected of being a Chinese intelligence asset. Nvidia’s board says it does not believe company secrets were compromised and has hired a law firm to investigate; authorities have not formally accused Huang, and China denies Alice Huang is a spy. The article also notes concern that upheaval at Nvidia could unsettle the AI industry, though analysts are uncertain about that risk.
