The chipmaker on Wednesday became the first publicly listed company to top $5 trillion in market value, boosted by demand for its AI chips.

The artificial intelligence giant Nvidia on Wednesday notched yet another historic milestone, becoming the first company to be worth $5 trillion. The value of Nvidia alone is now worth more than the GDP of every country on earth, except for the United States and China, according to World Bank data.

Nvidia is on track to become the first $5 trillion company, just three months after the Silicon Valley chipmaker was first to break through the $4 trillion barrier.

This opens up the door for AI development and testing on MacBooks, as well as running AI locally for assistive purposes.

"It's hard not to get sentimental and proud of America," Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said after a sizzle reel highlighting American innovation.
