Yes so advertising and vendor locking. Which brings money back to them. Hence circular.

When people accuse AI companies of circular financing, they meant it as a way to juice up their financial reports.

This is not the case. This is just having influence.

I don't think this locks the startup into Nvidia stack. I don't think this is advertising either. It's just influence.

Circular is not the word I use to describe this business tactic.
