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 spotlight to announce new products, champion partnerships, and lay out its vision for the future of computing. Huang’s keynote will focus on Nvidia’s role in the future of computing and AI. You can watch the two-hour address in person at the SAP Center or livestream the talk on the event’s website.
The broader three-day event is focused on what’s coming next for AI across industries including healthcare, robotics, and autonomous vehicles, among 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 way to build and deploy AI agents (software that can carry out multi-step tasks autonomously) and would position Nvidia to mirror similar offerings from companies like OpenAI.
On the hardware side, the company is also rumored to be releasing a new chip designed to accelerate the AI inference process — the process 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 far more computing power. Faster, cheaper…
