Nvidia’s AI libraries sweep through the whole technology landscape, Huang notes, highlighted Riva, Maxine, Nemo and Merlin among the headline acts.
Now it’s on to hardware – this is where Nvidia really leads the way.
First up is a look at transformers, where Huang notes that the technology is ideal for machine learning platforms such as natural language processing, making live translation a reality for users everywhere.
But when it comes to the next step, “the conditions are primed for the next breakthroughs in science” Huang says, with virtual models, quantum computing and even media set for transformation.
“AI is racing forward in every direction,” he says.
Next was a refresh look at Nvidia’s “Earth 2” digital twin, which among other things is using in-depth weather forecasting data to help simulate climate and atmosphere fields.
The models this data creates could be a vital step towards dealing with climate change, Nvidia notes, including predicting storms, flooding and other natural disasters.
Jensen went on to discuss how Nvidia’s AI platform is a common sight around the world, with three million developers and 10,000 start-ups using the technology.
Huang noted that in the past decade, Nvidia’s hardware and software has delivered a million-x speed increase in AI technology.
As is tradition, Nvidia kicked off the keynote with a demonstration of how advanced its AI capability is.
The keynote started with a sweeping dive through a digital replica of the company’s HQ, with music also composed by its AI.
CEO Jensen Huang then appeared, clad in trademark leather jacket, introducing a video of AI use cases, from healthcare to construction, for the company’s traditional “I am AI” presentation.
