Microsoft's infra ownership + model independence = best positioned hyperscaler; Nvidia verticalization inevitable

Microsoft wins by owning data centers (energy→intelligence) while staying model-agnostic on Azure. Nvidia must verticalize into chips to escape debt burden; model labs (OpenAI, Anthropic) m…
