It’s not an easy task to dominate the news cycle at a technology show as large as the annual CES gathering in Las Vegas, with over 4,000 exhibiting companies, 6,900 media participants and more than 148,000 attendees. Yet that is exactly what Nvidia Corp. did in January.

The AI powerhouse unveiled Alpamayo, a new open family of AI models designed to improve safety and reliability for autonomous driving systems, and Vera Rubin, the firm’s six-chips-in-one machine to drive AI supercomputing. The Rubin platform represents Nvidia’s answer to questions about what enterprises will need for the AI factory, reflecting the company’s vision for the shift taking place from computing as infrastructure to computing as production.

From Mar. 16-19, Nvidia will have an opportunity to make news again during the company’s annual Nvidia GTC gathering in San Jose, CA. After revealing the roadmap for physical AI and the future of enterprise computing during CES, Nvidia is expected to add to its chip portfolio and provide new insight into its vision for artificial intelligence in the full stack. This year’s Nvidia GTC is less about splashy hardware reveals and more about what it takes to run AI at scale — from silicon to software to the operational realities of production. The announcements will likely underscore the company’s continued influence in the direction of AI, a position that some still take lightly, according to Dave Vellante, chief analyst at theCUBE Research. SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio theCUBE will air our exclusive coverage of Nvidia GTC on Mar. 20, delivering analyst interviews and on-the-ground insight into the company’s latest announcements and broader market impact.

“As amazing as Nvidia’s progress has been, I think observers continue to underestimate the potential of the company and its ecosystem,” Vellante said. “We’re seeing a massive shift in computing architectures take place in real time, powered by AI…
