At CES 2025, Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia, enchanted an audience of over 6,000 people at the Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas with a keynote that marked an epochal turning point for the future of artificial intelligence, gaming and autonomous mobility. The event highlighted how physical AI, the new frontier of artificial intelligence, is changing the way we interact with the real world.
The era of AI Physics
Jensen Huang outlined the evolution of AI: from perceptive and generative AI to physical AI, capable of reasoning, planning and acting in the real world. “Every layer of technology has been transformed in just 12 years”said Huang, underlining the crucial role of Nvidia platforms and GPUs in this revolution.
One of the key announcements was the NVIDIA Cosmos platform, designed to power advanced robotics and autonomous vehicles. Cosmos uses generative models and video processing pipelines to simulate complex environments and optimize decisions in real time. Hyundai Motor Group and other leading companies are already integrating this technology to innovate in manufacturing and autonomous vehicles.
Revolutionary Graphics with GeForce RTX 50 Series
Huang introduced the GeForce RTX 5090 GPU, the most powerful ever made, with 92 billion transistors and a processing capacity of 3,352 TOPS. The new Blackwell architecture introduces DLSS 4, RTX Neural Shaders and advanced technologies like RTX Neural Faces and RTX Hair, redefining visual realism and gaming performance.
GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs will be available January 30, offering stunning visual realism and up to eight times performance gains over the previous generation.
Innovations for Autonomous Vehicles
Nvidia also announced The NVIDIA AGX Thor system-on-a-chip (SoC) powers the NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion AV platform. This advanced technology supports generative AI models and offers advanced safety and autonomous driving features. Companies like Toyota are already adopting DRIVE AGX Orin to develop next-generation vehicles.
Empowering Developers with Project DIGITS
The keynote concluded with the unveiling of NVIDIA Project DIGITS, a compact AI supercomputer powered by the Grace Blackwell GB10 Superchip. This device, which will be available in May, promises to bring the power of AI computing to every desk, giving developers tools to build and test AI models quickly and efficiently.
A Future of Discoveries
With innovations ranging from breakthrough graphics to physical and agentic AI models, Nvidia is redefining the technology landscape. “It’s been an incredible year,” Huang concluded, leaving the audience excited for what the future holds.
