In the context of the rapid development of the global AI industry, Nvidia made a significant announcement at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), launching a series of new products and services aimed at helping businesses build AI assistants and robotic work teams. CEO Jensen Huang showcased the powerful capabilities of these AI agents during his keynote speech, including the ability to automate task completion. He illustrated his various roles in different scenarios with animations, indicating that AI agents can handle tasks such as customer service, coding, and research.
Nvidia introduced AI Blueprints, designed to help businesses utilize Meta's Llama model to build and deploy AI assistants. Jensen Huang stated, "In the future, every company's IT department will become the HR department for AI agents." These AI systems, known as "knowledge robots," can analyze vast amounts of data, quickly summarize information from videos and PDFs, and take actions based on what they learn. To achieve this, Nvidia has partnered with five leading AI companies, including CrewAI, Daily, LangChain, LlamaIndex, and Weights & Biases, to integrate these technologies into tools for enterprise use.
In the robotics field, Nvidia is also making strides, launching a new Omniverse Blueprint called "Mega," which helps companies simulate and optimize robotic work teams in virtual environments. This tool allows businesses to conduct comprehensive testing and development before deploying robots in real warehouses and factories. Jensen Huang also mentioned that the "ChatGPT moment" in robotics is approaching and unveiled a series of foundational models for robots capable of generating synthetic motion data, aimed at addressing the challenge of acquiring large amounts of data needed to train humanoid robots.
In addition to its investments in robotics and AI assistants, Nvidia announced an expansion of its collaboration with automotive manufacturers. The world's largest automaker, Toyota, will adopt Nvidia's DRIVE AGX Orin chip technology for next-generation driver assistance and autonomous vehicles. Additionally, Aurora and Continental will also leverage Nvidia's technology to advance the development of self-driving trucks.
Regarding consumer electronics, Jensen Huang showcased the next-generation RTX Blackwell graphics cards, which are set to officially launch this month and in February next year. These gaming graphics cards will be priced between $549 and $1999. Finally, Nvidia introduced Project DIGITS, a compact personal AI supercomputer starting at $3000, aimed at enabling more developers to access powerful AI models.
Following Jensen Huang's speech, Nvidia's stock price rose by 4%, with analysts believing that this CES serves as a positive catalyst for the company, as the stock price reached a historic high of $149.43.
