“Nvidia is stepping back from its nascent cloud computing business, which had put it in quasi-competition with Amazon Web Services. It has lessened its efforts to attract businesses to the cloud service, dubbed DGX Cloud.” This suggests that Nvidia found limited demand for the service.

In addition, “some AI developers have balked at Nvidia’s prices for DGX Cloud servers, which are typically more expensive than those sold by traditional providers.”

The move into DGX Cloud is clearly based on ______________. However, Nvidia failed to _____________________.

Sharing activities explains the move: Nvidia attempted to leverage its GPU hardware, software stacks (CUDA, libraries), and AI engineering expertise across two businesses (chips and a cloud offering) to create synergies and capture more of the value chain.

1) Relevant concepts
- Sharing activities (corporate-level strategy): deploying the same assets, capabilities, or routines across business units to lower costs or enhance product value (e.g., hardware + managed cloud service built on the same GPUs and software).
- Alternatives (brief definitions): risk reduction/diversification (enter unrelated markets to smooth returns), multipoint competition/mutual forbearance (rivals avoid aggressive moves when they meet in several markets), exploit market power/predatory pricing (use dominance to force competitors out via low prices).

2) Step-by-step reasoning from the prompt
- The article reports Nvidia launched DGX Cloud, a cloud service built around its GPUs and AI stack — a classic attempt to share activities between product (chips) and service (cloud) to extract more value from the same technology.
- The follow-up lines note limited demand and that DGX Cloud servers were typically more expensive than traditional providers; developers balked at the prices.
- If the strategy were successfully sharing activities, Nvidia would have realized cost or differentiation advantages that attracted customers; instead the high price and low demand show those shared activities did not create enough customer value or cost synergies.
- Therefore the first blank is “sharing activities” and the second blank is that Nvidia “failed to share meaningful activities between chips and cloud businesses.”

3) Calculations
- No numerical calculation is required; the reasoning is qualitative and evidence-based.

4) Why the correct answer fits
- The textual evidence (built cloud offering around its chips; higher prices; low uptake) maps directly to an attempted sharing-of-activities strategy that did not produce the expected synergies or competitive advantage.

5) Why other options are incorrect (brief)
- Risk reduction: Nvidia’s move was vertically related (chips → cloud), not unrelated diversification to reduce portfolio risk.
- Multipoint competition/mutual forbearance: Nvidia directly competed with AWS rather than avoiding confrontation; withdrawal isn’t mutual forbearance.
- Exploit market power/predatory pricing: DGX Cloud was more expensive, not priced below cost to drive rivals out.

Conclusion: The move was based on sharing activities; Nvidia failed to share meaningful activities between chips and cloud businesses, matching the provided answer.
