Jensen Huang sends in the robot ducks to sell Nvidia's AI-everywhere vision
Containerized datacenters, androids, and telecoms all feature in Berlin keynote interrupted by environmental protesters
Cute robots stole the show at Nvidia's GTC keynote in Berlin, where the company's CEO, Jensen Huang, presented a vision of AI agents and hardware. Environmental protesters interrupted his presentation, but Huang remained jovial, joking he would address their concerns later. He discussed Vera Rubin systems, a new AI infrastructure, and unveiled DSX POD, a containerized AI infrastructure.
DSX POD combines seven liquid-cooled compute racks using Nvidia's Spectrum-X networking, potentially reducing deployment time from six months to 14 days. Huang emphasized the system's water-saving capabilities, stating it could save 54 million liters of water daily. He also showcased physical AI, such as Microducks, small two-legged robots that responded to voice commands.
Huang introduced Agile ONE SN, a humanoid robot reference platform based on Nvidia's Isaac GR00T technology and a Jetson Thor compute module. Nvidia's AI hardware and software are expanding into cars and telecoms networks, with Hyperion and AI-RAN solutions being adopted by European operators. Huang claimed Nvidia's technology would make everyone an AI company, praising Europe's technology efforts while positioning the company as a supporter of Europe's sovereign tech ambitions.
Nvidia has invested nearly $10 billion in Europe in the past year, but Forrester analyst Paul Miller noted that Nvidia is not European itself.
