Jensen Huang’s Vision for Europe Runs on Plug-In Data Centers

Jensen Huang outlined his imaginativeness of Europe’s aboriginal astatine Nvidia’s planetary league successful Berlin connected Wednesday. It consists of robotics, AI agents, and modular data centers, with Nvidia unsurprisingly powering it all.

“To beryllium portion of this AI economy, you don’t privation to conscionable beryllium consuming the AI. You privation to beryllium producing the AI,” helium told the 4,000-strong assemblage astatine Nvidia’s GTC. “We tin bash each of that present successful Europe.”

The past GTC, held successful San Jose, California, successful March, was each astir AI inference and much businesslike compute. Seven months later, the absorption has switched to power, agents, and carnal AI. There were adjacent immoderate cute small Microduck robots—made by caller Nvidia acquisition Hugging Face—doing Huang’s bidding astatine the extremity of his 90-minute pitch.

Huang’s archetypal large announcement was a modular “AI factory” called the DSX Pod. It is simply a “plug-and-play” enactment for gathering AI information centers, with everything arriving already assembled successful a ample metallic instrumentality and packed with Nvidia’s latest Vera Rubin compute racks. It tin beryllium brought online successful 14 days, alternatively of taking months oregon years to construct. That whitethorn travel successful particularly useful successful Europe, wherever infrastructure projects are notoriously slow. Huang said the DSX Pod would besides slash the magnitude of clip compute sits idle successful a information halfway arsenic it volition travel online quicker. “This is simply a implicit transformation,” helium said.

The speech, delivered astatine Berlin’s Tempodrom, a venue inspired by a circus structure with the lighting of a gamer’s den, veered betwixt selling laptops and sweeping predictions, with Nvidia presented arsenic the cardinal exertion supplier to each industry. At 1 point, 2 Greenpeace protesters stood up and unfurled a banner speechmaking “Clean up your soiled business.” Huang told his information squad to “Go easy” arsenic they were marched out.

Humanoid robotics volition beryllium the “next large industry,” Huang said, arguing that Europe was well-placed to pb connected it owed to its manufacturing heritage. But carnal AI goes mode beyond robotics, Huang pointed out, explaining that adjacent telecom operators are adding Nvidia GPUs to their compartment towers. He besides announced partnerships with European carmakers VW and Mercedes connected AVs.

Nvidia is making a akin determination successful humanoid robotics, with Huang announcing the motorboat of a full-stack robotics level to standardize configuration. It besides plans to merchandise a preconfigured notation robot, Agile One, disposable successful the archetypal 4th of adjacent year, to assistance developers commencement gathering carnal AI systems. “This is your large opportunity,” helium said.

On exemplary usage, Huang predicted: “Every institution successful the aboriginal volition usage some closed models arsenic good arsenic unfastened models that you customize.” He showcased Nvidia’s ain open-source models arsenic hitting frontier show erstwhile customized connected an organization’s proprietary data.

He besides predicted that agents would mean determination volition beryllium much users of bundle tools than ever before, and said agents’ reasoning, iteration, and instrumentality usage are pushing token depletion and request for computing—and Nvidia GPUs—higher.

In lawsuit the 90-minute code was excessively technical, it ended with an AI-generated Eurovision opus summing up what Huang had conscionable announced. The code was easier to follow, to beryllium fair.
