2. NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang kicked off CES 2025 with a 90-minute keynote that included new products to advance gaming, autonomous vehicles, robotics, and “agentic” AI. AI has been “advancing at an incredible pace,” he said before an audience of more than 6,000 packed into the Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas. “It started with perception AI — understanding images, words, and sounds. Then generative AI — creating text, images and sound,” Huang said. Now, we’re entering the era of “physical AI, AI that can proceed, reason, plan and act.” NVIDIA GPUs and platforms are at the heart of this transformation, Huang explained, enabling breakthroughs across industries, including gaming, robotics and autonomous vehicles (AVs).

3. Nvidia already sells boatloads of computer chips to every major company building proprietary artificial intelligence models. But now, at a moment when public interest in open source and do-it-yourself AI is soaring, the company announced it will also begin offering a “personal AI supercomputer” later this year, starting at $3,000, that anyone can use in their own home or office. Nvidia’s new desktop machine, dubbed Digits, will go on sale in May and is about the size of a small book. It contains an Nvidia “superchip” called GB10 Grace Blackwell, optimized to accelerate the computations needed to train and run AI models, and comes equipped with 128 gigabytes of unified memory and up to 4 terabytes of NVMe storage for handling especially large AI programs.
