Missed Nvidia’s GTC 2025? Euronews Next breaks down the main announcements from the company’s annual conference. Nvidia’s CEO and founder Jensen Huang took to the stage at the semiconductor company’s annual software conference on Tuesday to announce new products. While giving his keynote speech, Huang also expanded on his thoughts surrounding the future of artificial intelligence (AI) which he said was “at an inflexion point”. In case you missed it, here are five key takeaways from GTC 2025 in San Jose, California.
New Computers for AI Development
“AI agents will be everywhere,” Huang told the audience at his keynote, referring to the technology that is designed to take autonomous actions to assist humans without their input. The answer to this large computing requirement, he said, is two new computers, called DGX Spark (previously called Project Digits) and DGX Station. DGX Spark is already available and allows developers to prototype, fine-tune, and inference (the process that machines use to conclude new data) the latest generation of reasoning AI models. Nvidia says that it can also “seamlessly deploy” to data centres or the cloud. It is available in a desktop-friendly size. The much bigger DGX Station is in the works, resembling a tower desktop and marketed toward enterprise customers that would need to run heavy AI workloads.
Technologies for Humanoid Robot Development
Nvidia announced several technologies to supercharge humanoid robot development. One includes a very Star Wars-esque-style robot that is being developed in partnership with Disney Research and Google DeepMind. It is called Newton and is Nvidia’s physics engine, a computer software that helps simulate robot behavior, to develop robots. Nvidia also announced NVIDIA Isaac GR00T N1, a technology it says is the world’s “first open, fully customizable foundation model for generalized humanoid reasoning and skills”.
AI Factories and Future Developments
Huang said that the future will see a move from traditional data centers to AI factories, which handle AI specifically. The European Commission has made AI factories one of its priorities for the bloc’s AI development. Nvidia announced Omniverse Blueprint, which lets engineers design, test, and optimize a new generation of intelligence manufacturing data centers using digital twins. Huang also announced a partnership with General Motors (GM) to integrate AI chips and software into its autonomous vehicle technology and manufacturing.
Quantum Computing Research
Huang also announced Nvidia was building a quantum computing research center in Boston. The NVIDIA Accelerated Quantum Research Center, or NVAQC, will provide “cutting-edge technologies to advance quantum computing,” according to the company. “Quantum computing will augment AI supercomputers to tackle some of the world’s most important problems, from drug discovery to materials development,” Huang said in his keynote.
