For the last year, Nvidia's "Hopper" chipset drawer has made waves, running services like chatGPT and other, less visible projects. Now that the time has come again for their keynote, Nvidia revealed a new lineup of products from new ai mainframes to onboard chipsets.
Blackwell, a revolutionary platform, was unveiled, challenging conventional GPU designs with a multi-terrabyte throughput between dies, an industry first of abutting dies on a chip. These chips would seamlessly integrate with the prior Hopper systems, promising an efficient upgrade path. The new interconnects of these chips would not only allow faster on-die communication, but also efficient communication between racks, offering a 4x performance bump.


Collaborations with tech giants like AWS, Google, Oracle, and Microsoft were announced, focusing on accelerating AI and cloud computing. Nvidia AI Foundry announced partnerships with industry leaders like SAP, ServiceNow, Cohesity, Snowflake, and NetApp to develop AI solutions.
Omniverse, a virtual world simulation engine hosted on Azure Cloud, promised to simplify AI development for robotics and heavy industries by virtualizing it and making it easily monitorable.

Project Groot introduces a humanoid robot learning model powered by Jetson(NVidia's onboard chipset) Thor chips, Isaac Lab, and Osmo for AI-powered robotics. The presentation culminated in a demonstration by Disney's Jetson-powered robots, emphasizing the impact of Blackwell and Nvidia's innovations.
