NVIDIA's GPU Know-how Convention, often known as GTC, is developing. The occasion is going on March 17-21 in San Jose, however you may also comply with together with all the large developments right here at Engadget. We'll have a liveblog for the keynote with CEO Jensen Huang on March 18 at 1PM ET (or 10AM PT), which is when many of the massive information will drop. His speech can even be livestreamed without spending a dime, so you may watch it on NVIDIA's web site too.
From a fast look on the session catalog on NVIDIA's web site, we will make a couple of educated guesses. Subjects vary from quantum computing and "bodily AI" to robotics, healthcare and Agentic AI. Huang himself is internet hosting the quantum computing chat with a bevy of contributors from corporations like Microsoft and Amazon, too.
It's a secure guess that you just'll hear an entire lot about synthetic intelligence in the course of the week, however with all of the adjustments within the computing panorama over the previous 12 months, the stakes is perhaps greater for the corporate to make critical waves at this convention.
What to anticipate at NVIDIA GTC 2025
NVIDIA has been going all-in on AI for years now, and that makes it an everyday spotlight for GTC programming. Final yr noticed the corporate unveiling its Blackwell line of GPUs for sooner and fewer demanding computations. We're guessing that Huang will introduce one other iteration of Blackwell GPUs with even higher specs this time round. NVIDIA can be prone to share updates on its tasks in automotive, robotics and quantum computing.
However the firm is in a really completely different scenario in early 2025 than it was going into final yr's convention. NVIDIA is now not sitting fairly so comfortably on the high of the heap. The emergence of DeepSeek's reasoning mannequin triggered a plunge for tech shares, together with NVIDIA's, earlier this yr. There have been numerous points associated to its newest RTX product launches and splashy tech for AI-generated NPCs in gaming are, unsurprisingly, fairly soulless.
Mainly, NVIDIA wants a win. This may be the time for Huang to drop one thing shocking and thrilling. Hopefully he delivers.
