He imaginatively compared it to:Â "Just like the leather jacket I wear, I don't want to make it myself, but I want someone to make it for me, then these leather materials need to be open source so that everyone can come and use it."
Toward the end of the conversation, a surprising photo appeared on the big screen:Jen-Hsun Huang and Zuckerberg were exchanging jackets. Jen-Hsun Huang explained: "This was taken last year when we exchanged jackets after we had dinner together, and it caused a sensation on the Internet."

This scene not only demonstrated the friendship between the two technology leaders, but also added a touch of lightheartedness and humor to the serious technical discussion.
Zuckerberg also jokingly said, "This dress of yours is obviously worth more because it's been worn." The comment sparked laughter and hinted at the closeness between the two.

Although Nvidia and Meta compete in some areas, the friendly interaction between the two CEOs shows that cooperation and openness remain the main theme in the face of the greater goal of promoting the advancement of AI technology.
