  "account": "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.",
