NVIDIA GTC 2024 Was a Super Bowl Moment for AI Innovation

Jensen Huang Unveiled Breakthroughs in AI, Robotics, and Next-Gen Computing

NVIDIA’s GTC 2024 was a landmark event, with CEO Jensen Huang calling it the Super Bowl of AI. With over 25,000 attendees in person and 300,000 joining virtually, the conference was packed with major announcements, including the debut of Blackwell Ultra GPUs and the upcoming Vera Rubin chips set for 2026. Huang emphasized the massive performance leap, stating that Blackwell offers 40 times the computing power of its predecessor. He also made a bold prediction that NVIDIA’s data center revenue will hit $1 trillion by 2028, further cementing the company’s AI dominance.

One of the biggest highlights was the introduction of Agentic AI, a step beyond retrieval-based models into the next generation of generative AI. “We underestimated the computing power needed—turns out it’s a hundred times more than we thought last year,” Huang remarked. NVIDIA also revealed Dynamo, an open-source platform designed to scale AI-driven production, reinforcing its commitment to building AI factories of the future.

The event wasn’t just about GPUs. AI-powered robotics took center stage with ‘Blue’, a Wall-E-inspired AI robot, and Isaac GROOT N1, the world’s first humanoid robot foundation model. NVIDIA also announced a partnership with General Motors to accelerate autonomous vehicle technology and introduced NVIDIA Halos, a new safety system for self-driving cars.

With Quantum Day approaching, Huang made it clear that NVIDIA is just getting started. “We are closer than ever to unlocking AI’s full potential,” he said. As AI continues to transform industries, NVIDIA remains at the forefront of this revolution.
