Nvidia kicks off its annual GTC developer conference in San Jose, California, next week with CEO Jensen Huang’s keynote scheduled for Monday at 11am PT / 2pm ET.
GTC — which stands for GPU Technology Conference — is Nvidia’s flagship annual event, where the chipmaker typically uses the highlight to announce latest products, champion partnerships, and lay out its vision for the long run of computing. Huang’s keynote will give attention to Nvidia’s role in the long run of computing and AI. You’ll be able to watch the two-hour address in person on the SAP Center or livestream the talk on the event’s website.
The broader three-day event is targeted on what’s coming next for AI across industries including healthcare, robotics, and autonomous vehicles, amongst others.
On the software side, it’s rumored that Nvidia will release an open source platform for enterprise AI agents, dubbed NemoClaw, as originally reported by Wired. The platform would give businesses a structured strategy to construct and deploy AI agents (software that may perform multi-step tasks autonomously) and would position Nvidia to mirror similar offerings from corporations like OpenAI.
On the hardware side, the corporate can also be rumored to be releasing a latest chip designed to speed up the AI inference process — the method by which an AI model applies what it has learned to generate responses or make decisions, as distinct from the initial training process, which requires much more computing power. Faster, cheaper inference is widely seen as considered one of the last bottlenecks to scaling AI applications broadly. The chip, if confirmed, would represent Nvidia’s latest bid to dominate not only the training market, where it already commands an estimated 80% share, however the inference market as well, where competition from custom chips built by Google, Amazon and others is fast intensifying.
Kevin Cook, a senior equity strategist at Zacks Investment Research, told TechCrunch that attendees also needs to expect to learn what the corporate plans to do with its relationship with Groq, the inference company Nvidia reportedly paid $20 billion late last yr to license its technology. There’s a whole lot of curiosity around this tie-up, provided that Jonathan Ross, Groq’s founder, Sunny Madra, Groq’s President, and other members of the Groq team agreed to hitch Nvidia to assist advance and scale that licensed tech.
There’ll, in fact, even be a spread of partnership announcements and demonstrations showcasing Nvidia’s AI capabilities across industries.
