[0:00]Welcome to GTC. GTC, we're going to talk about technology. We're going to talk about platforms. NVIDIA has three platforms. You think that we mostly talk about one of them. It's related to CUDA X. Our systems is another platform. And now we have a new platform called AI factories. We're going to talk about all of them and most importantly, we're going to talk about ecosystems. About 10 years ago, we thought that AI would revolutionize computer graphics. Just as GeForce brought AI to the world, AI is now going to go back and revolutionize how computer graphics is done all together. Well, today I'm going to show you something of the future. This is our next generation of graphics technology. We call it neuro rendering. The fusion, the fusion of 3D graphics and artificial intelligence. This is DLSS 5. Take a look at it.

[2:11]We fused controllable 3D graphics, the ground truth of virtual worlds, the structured data, remember this word, the structured data of virtual worlds, of generated worlds. We combined 3D graphics, structured data with generative AI, probabilistic computing. One of them is completely predictive, the other one probabilistic, yet highly realistic. We combine these two ideas, combine these two ideas, control through structured data, controlled perfectly and yet generating at the same time. And as a result, the content is beautiful, amazing as well as controllable. This concept of fusing structured information and generative AI will repeat itself in one industry after another industry after another industry. Structured data is the foundation of trustworthy AI. This is structured data. You've heard of it: SQL, Spark, Pandas, Vellox. Some of these really, really important, very large platforms, snow, uh, snowflake, Data Bricks, EMR, Amazon EMR, um, Azure, Fabric, Google Cloud, BigQuery. All of these platforms are processing data frames. These data frames are giant spreadsheets, and they hold all of life's information. This is the structured data, the ground truth of business. This is the ground truth of enterprise computing. Claud Code has revolutionized software engineering as all of you know. 100% of NVIDIA is using a combination of or often times all three of them, Claud Code, Code Dex and Cursor all over NVIDIA. There's not one software engineer today who is not assisted by one or many AI agents helping them code. Claud Code completely revolutionizes the new inflection. And for the first time, you don't ask AI, what, where, when, how?

[4:35]You ask it, create, do, build. You ask it to use tools, take your context, read files. It's able to agentically break down a problem, reason about it, reflect on it. It's able to solve problems and actually perform tasks. An AI that was able to perceive, became an AI that could generate. An AI that could generate, became an AI that could reason. An AI that could reason, now became an AI that can actually do work. We created a brand new CPU. A brand new CPU that's designed for extremely high single threaded performance. Incredibly high data output, incredibly good at data processing, and extreme energy efficiency. It is the only data center CPU in the world that uses LPDDR5. LPDDR5 and incredible single thread performance and performance per watt that is unrivaled. And so that's, we built that so that it could go along with the rest of these racks for agentic processing. And so here it is. This is the Grace Blackwell, oh, no, Vera Rubin, where is it? Here it is, okay? So this is the Vera Rubin system. Notice since the last time, 100% liquid cooled. All of the cables gone. What used to take, what used to take two days to install, now takes two hours. Incredible. And so the manufacturing cycle time, we're going to dramatically reduce. This is also a supercomputer that is cooled by, it's cooled by hot water, 45 degrees. Which takes the pressure off of the data center, takes all of that cost and all of that energy that's used to cool the data center and makes it available for the system. This is the secret sauce. It is the only, we're the only company in the world that has today built the sixth, sixth generation scale up switching system. This is not Ethernet. This is not Infinity Band. This is MV Link. This is the sixth generation MV Link. This is insanely hard to do well. It is insanely hard to do period. And I'm just super proud of the team, NV Link, completely liquid cooled. This is the brand new Groc system and I'll show you a little bit more about it. This system, eight Groc chips. This is the LP30, the world's never seen it. Anything that the world's ever seen is V1. This is third generation. And we're in volume production now. And I'll show you more about that in just a second. The world's first CPO Spectrum X Switch. This is also in full production. Co-packaged optics. Optics comes directly onto this chip, interfaces directly to Silicon, electrons gets translated to photons. And it gets directly connected to this chip. We invented the process technology with TSMC. We're the only one in production with it today. It's called Coop, it's completely revolutionary. NVIDIA is in full production with Spectrum X. Let me talk to you about something new. So, so um, uh, Peter Steinberger's here and um, uh, he wrote a piece of software. Uh, it's called Open Claw. And, and um, I don't know if he realized uh, how successful it was going to be. Um, but the importance is profound. Open Claw is the number one, is the most popular open source project in the history of humanity and it did so in just a few weeks.

[8:48]It exceeded, it exceeded what Linux did in 30 years. And it's that important. It is that important. It will do, well, uh, this is all you do, okay? We're announcing our support of it. Uh, let me, let me just quickly go through this. I want to show you a couple things. You simply type this. You type it this into a, into a console. And um, it goes out, it finds Open Claw, it downloads it. It builds you an AI agent. And then you could tell it whatever else you need to do. What is Open Claw? It connects, it's an, it's a agentic system. It calls and connects to large language models. So the first thing it has, it has resources that it manages. It could access tools, it could access file systems, it could access large language models. It, it's able to do scheduling. It's able to do cron jobs. It's able to um, uh, decompose a problem that, a prompt that you gave it into step by step by step. It could spawn off and call upon other sub-agents. It has IO. You could talk to it in any modality you want. You could wave at it, it'll understand you. You could talk to any modality you want. It sends you messages, it texts you, sends you email. So it's got IO. Um, what else does it have? Well, based on that, you could, you could say, in fact, it's an operating system. I've just used the same syntax that I would describe an operating system. Art, Open Claw has open sourced essentially the operating system of agentic computers. It is no different than how Windows made it possible for us to create personal computers. Now Open Claw has made it possible for us to create personal agents. Ladies and gentlemen, Olaf. Does it, does, no man, coming through. New, new works. Omni Verse works. Olaf, how are you? I'm so happy now that I'm leaving you. I know because I gave you your computer. Jetson. What's that? Well, it's in your tummy. That's going to be amazing. And you learn how to walk inside Omniverse. I thought walking is so much better than riding on a reindeer gazing up at the beautiful sky. And it was because of physics using this Newton solver that runs on top of NVIDIA Warp that we jointly developed with Disney and with DeepMind that made it possible for you to be able to adapt to the physical world. Check that out. You got to say that. That's how smart you are. I'm a snowman. Not a snowclipedia.

[12:00]Could you imagine this, the future of Disneyland? All these, all these robots, all these characters wandering around. Oh! You know, I have to admit though, I thought you were going to be taller. I've never seen such a short snowman, to be honest. Nope. All right, have a great GTC.

[12:25]Thank you, everybody. Bye, you. See you, Olaf. I just met.
