NVIDIA GTC Keynote: Huang Unveils “AI Factories,” Blackwell-Rubin Roadmap, and $1T Demand View

• Jensen Huang positioned NVIDIA as a platform company built around CUDA‑X, NVIDIA systems and the new concept of AI factories, unveiling NVIDIA DSX to design and operate data‑centers for maximum token throughput and energy efficiency.

• He raised NVIDIA’s high‑confidence demand view for Blackwell and Rubin from about $500 billion to at least $1 trillion through 2027, and outlined a hardware roadmap—Grace Blackwell NVLink 72, Vera Rubin, Rubin Ultra and the next platform Feynman—plus a disaggregated inference approach that integrates Groq (Groq LPX shipments expected in H2, likely Q3).

• NVIDIA introduced data libraries cuDF and cuVS for structured and unstructured workloads, highlighted cloud and confidential‑computing integrations with partners like IBM, Google Cloud and Dell, and launched software/model initiatives (OpenClaw/OpenShell, the Open Model Initiative and a Nemotron Coalition) while expanding robotics and robotaxi partnerships (BYD, Hyundai, Nissan, Geely, Uber, ABB, KUKA).
