Nvidia kicks off its annual GTC developer conference next week in San Jose, California, with CEO Jensen Huang’s keynote scheduled for Monday at 11:00 a.m. PT / 2:00 p.m. ET.
GTC, which stands for GPU Technology Conference, is Nvidia’s flagship annual event, where the chipmaker typically uses the spotlight to announce new products, champion partnerships and outline its vision for the future of computing. Huang’s keynote will focus on Nvidia’s role in future computing and artificial intelligence. You can watch the two-hour address in person SAP Center or broadcast the conversation live on the event website.
The broader three-day event focuses on what’s next for artificial intelligence in industries including healthcare, robotics and autonomous vehicles, among others.
On the software side, Nvidia is rumored to release an open source platform for enterprise AI agents. NemoClaworiginally reported by Wired. The platform will give enterprises a structured way to build and deploy artificial intelligence agents (software that can perform multi-stage tasks autonomously), mirroring Nvidia. similar offers From companies like OpenAI.
On the hardware side, the company is also rumored a new chip designed to speed up the inference process with artificial intelligence — the process by which an AI model applies what it has learned to generate answers or make decisions, as opposed to the initial training process, which requires more computing power. Faster, cheaper results are widely seen as one of the last hurdles to scaling AI applications. The chip, if approved, would represent Nvidia’s latest bid to dominate not only the training market, where it has an 80% share, but also the results market, where competition from custom chips built by Google, Amazon and others is intensifying.
Kevin Cook, chief equity strategist at Zacks Investment Research, told TechCrunch that attendees should also expect to learn what the company plans to do with its relationship with Grog. There is a lot of interest in this relationship, given that Grog founder Jonathan Ross, Grog president Sunny Madra and other members of the Grog team have agreed to join Nvidia to develop and expand this licensed technology.
Of course, there will also be a number of partnership announcements and demonstrations showcasing Nvidia’s AI capabilities across industries.
