SemiAnalysis reports that Nvidia refused several neoclouds access to its GTC Berlin event after they added AMD GPUs, TPUs and other chips to their cloud offerings.

The restriction reportedly does not apply to hyperscalers, which have greater buying power. SemiAnalysis says neocloud executives believe Nvidia uses high-pressure tactics to keep them on Nvidia-only hardware, and fear retaliation such as withheld early allocation or harm to IPO and venture fundraising. The report does not name the neoclouds or quote Nvidia's response.
