Update 2025-07-29 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): A playable demo will not be considered a release. To resolve an answer YES, it must be more than a demo and not an early access version.
Update 2025-08-04 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): In response to questions about ambiguity in the answer 'nVidia becomes the largest company...', the creator has stated that this answer might be resolved to N/A.

The Nasdaq Composite jumped 0.98% for a record close of 21,450.02. The tech-heavy index hit a fresh all-time intraday high earlier in the day.
@strutheo It is now larger than any other company ever has been. Is that enough to resolve yes?
Notes:
Does it have to "become" i.e be not largest company ever at some point in August then later become largest? i.e it has to shrink to being smaller than another company's record first in order to later grow and "become" largest?
Alternately Is beating its own record sufficient to say it "becomes" largest in August? Record on 30 July 2025 has not been beaten in August (not yet anyway).
I see a few possible interpretations:
Be largest co by market cap in Aug
Become largest company ever in Aug and BTW metric is market cap
Become largest by market cap in Aug.
It doesn't seem impossible that all could become true in August and the question is unambiguously true. If some tests pass and some don't then it is a bit confusing.
What happens in other future months?

which might mean a release date of 20 Aug is known now so not in Aug.
While the release date might be in Aug?
But quite possibly it needs to be a full release and playable demo does not count.
