NVIDIA’s CEO Jensen Huang delivered a groundbreaking keynote at the 2025 GTC, showcasing the company’s ongoing innovation and remarkable breakthroughs in AI, robotics, and computing. Here’s a summary of the key highlights:
AI’s Expanding Role in Computing
Huang emphasised a paradigm shift in computing, transitioning from human-made software to AI-generated solutions. He noted that “AI factories,” or data centres geared towards AI workloads, will redefine how computing is done and how NVIDIA’s Blackwell GPUs will lead the transition, offering unparalleled inference performance. Huang declared the new Blackwell Ultra NVL72 a “giant leap” in AI capabilities, designed for easy and efficient pretraining, post-training and reasoning AI inference.
Roadmap for the Future
Detailed plans were unveiled, starting with Blackwell Ultra based products expected later in 2025, progressing to the Vera Rubin in 2026, whose full rack should offer 3.3x the performance of a comparable Blackwell Ultra one. And also Rubin Ultra in 2027. These products promise scaled-up efficiency and power for extreme AI workloads.
Revolutionising Robotics
Huang introduced NVIDIA Isaac GROOT N1, the first open Humanoid Robot foundation model. This enables faster, cost-effective robotics development using synthetic datasets and innovative blueprints.
He also announced a collaboration with DeepMind and Disney Research to develop Newton, a physics engine to simulate robotic movements in real-world settings. Disney will be among the first to use Newton to power its next-generation entertainment robots, like the Star Wars-inspired BDX droids — one of which joined Huang onstage during the keynote!
New Enterprise Offerings
NVIDIA’s DGX Spark — formerly Project DIGITS — and DGX Station™ were also announced – a new high-performance NVIDIA Grace Blackwell desktop supercomputer powered by the NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra platform, enabling AI developers, researchers, data scientists and students to prototype, fine-tune and inference large models on desktops. Users can run these models locally or deploy them on NVIDIA DGX Cloud or any other accelerated cloud or data centre infrastructure.
Omniverse Updates
New Omniverse projects, including Cosmos, demonstrated how physical AI digital twins can create optimised AI factories and workflows.
“Just as large language models revolutionized generative and agentic AI, Cosmos world foundation models are a breakthrough for physical AI,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “Cosmos introduces an open and fully customizable reasoning model for physical AI and unlocks opportunities for step-function advances in robotics and the physical industries.”
Autonomous Vehicles
NVIDIA continues to dominate the autonomous vehicle (AV) market, collaborating with major names like Tesla, Waymo, and GM. Huang announced a new AI-focused partnership with GM and will look to scale AV adoption globally, addressing massive data and computing demands.
Closing Announcements
Jensen Huang’s 2025 GTC keynote highlighted NVIDIA’s unwavering leadership in AI and computing. Whether through robotics, enterprise tools, or advanced GPUs, NVIDIA continues to push boundaries and shape the future of technology and how it integrates into our lives.
