Decoding the Future : The AI Secret Language of NVIDIA's GTC Conference in Six Keywords

At the recent NVIDIA GTC conference, Jen-Hsun Huang showcased NVIDIA's latest advances in the areas of AI arithmetic, software services, the Omniverse cloud platform, and embodied intelligence, and declared a new era of AI technology.

Six Keywords

Blackwell architecture

Superchip named after mathematician David Blackwell - Blackwell
The chip, which integrates 208 billion transistors, is a new computing platform that heralds a new era in AI and high-performance computing, capable of training a 1.8 trillion covariate GPT model in 90 days, with one-quarter the power consumption
New GPU architecture optimized for large AI models improves training, inference performance and energy efficiency in the data center
Featuring six revolutionary technologies, including improved GPU performance, high-speed data processing and security technologies

NIM Microservices

A set of optimized cloud-native microservices, model customization services based on the CUDA platform, designed to simplify and accelerate the deployment process of generative AI models, reduce time-to-market, and provide enterprises with fast, flexible AI solutions
This new service model will revolutionize the way software is developed, and in the future developers may no longer need to write code line by line, but through communication with AI to mobilize a series of NIMs to complete the training and application deployment, making NVIDIA the "fab" of AI software.

embodied intelligence

NVIDIA has announced a embodied intelligence program called GR00T, which aims to drive groundbreaking work in robotics and embodied intelligence
Dedicated to enabling humanoid robots to see and interact, showcasing NVIDIA's efforts to advance AGI (generalized artificial intelligence)
Advances in Human-Robot Interaction Technology through Robot Understanding of Natural Language and Simulation of Human Actions

Omniverse Cloud Platform

NVIDIA Updates Omniverse Cloud Platform to Simulate Products in a Fully Fidelity, Fully Digital Way, Opening New Possibilities for Digital Twin Technology to Improve Product Design Efficiency and Optimize Performance
Through digital twin technology, the AI platform integrates digital simulation, enabling AI to conduct cyclic testing in an accurately simulated physical environment, providing a self-learning "gym" for robots, and promoting the learning and application of AI in the physical world.

DRIVE Thor Platform

An in-vehicle computing platform designed for generative AI applications and expected to integrate with the Blackwell architecture to deliver high-performance autonomous driving solutions
As an advanced version of DRIVE Orin, DRIVE Thor boasts up to 2,000 TOPS of computing power on a single chip, realizing an eight-fold increase in performance
This powerful chip is capable of providing the necessary computing support for both autonomous driving systems as well as in-car entertainment information systems. According to an announcement on NVIDIA's official website, DRIVE Thor is expected to enter mass production in 2025
So far, five Chinese automakers have confirmed plans to adopt this latest chip technology. BYD plans to adopt NVIDIA's technology to streamline its factory operations and supply chain processes, and for creating virtual display spaces; GAC EAN's premium brand Hao Platinum, as well as Xiaopeng Automobile, also announced on the same day that they will integrate the DRIVE Thor chip in their future models

new software

The emergence of a new type of software, born out of breakthroughs in generative artificial intelligence technology, symbolizes the rise of a new industry, one that is computer-written, creating an unprecedented category of software that is very different from the data center work of the past
By analogy with the discovery of electricity at the beginning of the industrial revolution, the new "electronic tokens" we are now creating, AI, produced by AI factories, have enormous value
The AI-generating nature of the new software and its ability to be mass-produced heralds a change in the way computing is done and how software is built
Nvidia's core values lie in the convergence of computer graphics, physics, and artificial intelligence, all of which are reflected in the Omniverse platform's virtual world simulations

Generative AI will lead the new industrial revolution

Jen-Hsun Huang predicts that data centers, valued at up to $1 trillion worldwide, will undergo a modern transformation to improve their operational efficiency and data processing capabilities. With the rise of generative AI software, there will be new types of software designed specifically for AI generators that are very different from traditional multi-user data centers, and they will create a highly valuable new class of software.

At the same time, a new generation of computers, such as Blackwell GPUs with trillions of parameters, will bring unprecedented computing power and advances in networking systems. In addition, the way new types of software are distributed will change, with NIMs facilitating the creation of new types of applications that are not only easy to integrate in the cloud, but are also portable and support collaborative team development. And the Omniverse platform will become the essential digital platform for all mobile robotic systems, whether it's self-driving cars or factory robots that will rely on this unified operating system.

According to Blue Shirt, Nvidia's GPUs are more than just a collection of hardware; they are a comprehensive system that encompasses a software stack and platform. Among them, Blackwell GPUs represent a major innovation by Nvidia in the field of GPU technology, which not only improves computing performance, but also points out the direction for the development of the entire industry. This new industrial revolution led by generative AI technology heralds the arrival of a new era centered on AI, which will profoundly affect the way we work and live.
