At CES 2025, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang outlined the company’s ambitious plans to shape the future of AI, gaming, robotics, and autonomous vehicles. In a 90-minute keynote, Huang introduced several groundbreaking products, including the NVIDIA Cosmos platform for physical AI, the Blackwell RTX 50 Series GPUs, and new AI tools for PCs, aimed at accelerating innovation across industries.
Huang described the next phase of AI as “physical AI,” which moves beyond generative models to systems that can reason, plan, and act. The newly launched NVIDIA Cosmos platform integrates generative AI models with video processing to support robotics, autonomous vehicles (AVs), and industrial applications. “The ChatGPT moment for general robotics is just around the corner,” Huang said, highlighting the potential for world foundation models to transform the development of intelligent machines.
NVIDIA also unveiled the GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs, built on the Blackwell architecture, with the flagship RTX 5090 boasting 92 billion transistors and delivering over 3,352 trillion AI operations per second. New features like DLSS 4 and RTX Neural Shaders aim to enhance gaming experiences by using AI to boost performance and improve real-time rendering. “The GPU is just a beast,” Huang remarked, emphasizing the balance between power and efficiency.
NVIDIA’s advancements in AI tools include AI Blueprints for creating digital humans, podcasts, and video content, which can run on RTX PCs. The company also revealed Project DIGITS, a compact AI supercomputer for developers, powered by NVIDIA’s Grace Blackwell chip, designed to democratize access to AI capabilities.
In the automotive sector, NVIDIA introduced the DRIVE Hyperion platform, leveraging AI and synthetic data to accelerate AV development. Huang emphasized the importance of training autonomous vehicles with synthetic data, allowing AV systems to achieve greater safety and functionality through simulated miles.
With these announcements, NVIDIA showed that it’s positioning itself as a leader in the AI-driven future across gaming, industrial, and automotive sectors, signaling a transformative year ahead.
