Keep alive the on-prem hardware sales? Not as big part likely but still something good to have. On-prem hardware needs models to be available to be useful. So pushing those could sell more on-prem hardware.

Nvidia is making tons of money by selling GPUs at a very high profit margin. They will do anything to remain dominant
