CES 2025 Keynote Recap
NVIDIA’s CEO Jensen Huang took the stage at CES 2025 to unveil a slew of groundbreaking announcements that further solidify the company’s leadership in AI innovation. The keynote highlighted advancements in gaming, autonomous vehicles, robotics, and more.
Gaming and Graphics
Huang kicked off the presentation by discussing NVIDIA’s ongoing efforts in gaming and graphics. He introduced a new technology called "Ray Tracing 2.0," which promises to deliver even more realistic lighting effects in games.
Additionally, Huang showcased NVIDIA’s latest GeForce RTX 4090 GPU, which boasts improved performance and power efficiency.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Advancements
Huang emphasized the importance of AI in driving innovation across various industries. He highlighted several key areas where NVIDIA is making significant strides:
Generative AI (GenAI)
NVIDIA introduced Llama Nemotron, a new open-source model family that enables developers to build and deploy powerful AI agents.
Agentic AI
Huang explained that agentic AI refers to the ability of AI systems to perform tasks autonomously, making decisions based on their own reasoning. NVIDIA’s Llama Nemotron models are designed to facilitate this type of AI development.
Autonomous Vehicles (AVs)
NVIDIA showcased its DRIVE Hyperion AV platform, which is built on top of the new AGX Thor system-on-a-chip (SoC). This platform enables vehicles to achieve next-level functional safety and autonomous capabilities using generative AI models.
Huang emphasized that synthetic data generation plays a critical role in AV development. NVIDIA’s AI data factories, powered by Omniverse and Cosmos platforms, generate synthetic driving scenarios that increase the effectiveness of training data exponentially.
Partnerships with Automotive Giants
NVIDIA has partnered with leading automotive companies such as Toyota, JLR, Mercedes-Benz, and Volvo Cars to develop their next-generation vehicles using NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin and safety-certified NVIDIA DriveOS.
Robotics and Robotics Research
Huang discussed NVIDIA’s ongoing efforts in robotics research, including the development of a new robotic arm that can perform tasks with unprecedented precision.
Project DIGITS: Compact AI Supercomputer
Huang concluded his keynote by introducing Project DIGITS, NVIDIA’s smallest yet most powerful AI supercomputer. Powered by the cutting-edge GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, Project DIGITS enables developers and engineers to train and deploy AI models directly from their desks.
Vision for Tomorrow
Reflecting on NVIDIA’s journey since inventing the programmable GPU in 1999, Huang described the past 12 years of AI-driven change as transformative. He foresees an exciting future where all enabling technologies will lead to surprising breakthroughs in general robotics and AI over the coming years.
Conclusion
NVIDIA’s CES 2025 keynote left a lasting impression on attendees, highlighting the company’s unwavering commitment to driving innovation in AI. With its latest announcements, NVIDIA continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in gaming, autonomous vehicles, robotics, and more.
