A Denny’s restaurant in San Jose, California, has taken down a commemorative sign celebrating the founding of Nvidia. The move comes days after Jensen Huang stepped down as chief executive of the prominent chipmaker.
According to NBC News, diner staff confirmed on Thursday that the plaque had been removed. The restaurant did not reveal who took down the sign, nor did it offer an explanation for the decision.
The plaque had marked the booth where Huang, alongside co-founders Chris Malachowsky and Curtis Priem, discussed launching the company back in 1993.
The booth had long served as a symbol of the tech company's humble beginnings, well before Nvidia developed into an international frontrunner in artificial intelligence hardware.
Huang’s resignation followed controversy surrounding his personal relationships, including allegations involving a woman suspected of having links to Chinese intelligence services.
Nvidia is currently one of the world's most valuable tech firms, with its processors powering major cloud infrastructure and cutting-edge artificial intelligence platforms globally.
