At CES 2025, NVIDIA once again pushed the boundaries of artificial intelligence with groundbreaking announcements that promise to reshape industries. CEO Jensen Huang captivated the audience with bold insights, unveiling cutting-edge AI technologies and partnerships designed to revolutionize healthcare, gaming, and autonomous systems.

 “AI is transforming everything around us, and NVIDIA is at the forefront of this revolution,” Huang declared.

 From next-gen GPUs to advanced AI platforms, the company showcased its unwavering commitment to innovation.

Key Announcements by NVIDIA at CES 2025

Breakthrough AI Technologies Unveiled

Most significant announcement during CES 2025 was the introduction of the GeForce RTX 50 Series, powered by NVIDIA Blackwell architecture. Huang debuted the flagship RTX 5090 GPU, boasting 92 billion transistors and attaining an impressive 3,352 trillion AI operations per second (TOPS).

NVIDIA announced a new line of GPUs built on its revolutionary architecture, promising exceptional performance for AI workloads. The company also revealed its latest AI platform tailored for developers, enabling faster and more efficient deployment of machine learning models.

“Our goal is to empower innovators with the tools they need to create the AI of tomorrow,” Huang emphasized.

 In addition, NVIDIA introduced DLSS 4 – featuring ‘Multi-Frame Generation’ technology – which boosts gaming performance up to eightfold by generating three additional frames for every frame rendered.

Cosmos: Escorting in physical AI

NVIDIA took another step forward with the Cosmos platform at CES 2025, which Huang described as a “game-changer” for robotics, industrial AI, and AVs. Much like the impact of large language models on generative AI, Cosmos represents a new frontier for AI applications in robotics and autonomous systems.

“The ChatGPT moment for general robotics is just around the corner,” Huang declared.

Cosmos incorporates generative models, tokenisers, and video processing frameworks to enable robots and vehicles to simulate potential outcomes and predict optimal actions. Cosmos can generate “virtual world states,” tailored for complex robotics and AV use cases involving real-world environments and lighting by consumption of text, image, and video prompts.

Top robotics and automotive leaders – including XPENG, Hyundai Motor Group, and Uber – are among the first to adopt Cosmos, which is available on GitHub via an open licence.

Empowering developers with AI models

NVIDIA also unveiled new AI foundation models for RTX PCs, which targets supercharge content creation, productivity, and enterprise applications. These models, presented as NVIDIA NIM (Neural Interaction Model) microservices, are designed to integrate with the RTX 50 Series hardware.

Huang emphasised the accessibility of these tools: “These AI models run in every single cloud because NVIDIA GPUs are now available in every cloud.”

NVIDIA is doubling down on its push to equip developers with advanced tools for building AI-driven solutions. The company introduced AI Blueprints: pre-configured tools for crafting agents tailored to specific enterprise needs, such as content generation, fraud detection, and video management.

“They are completely open source, so you could take it and modify the blueprints,” explains Huang.

Huang also announced the release of Llama Nemotron, designed for developers to build and deploy powerful AI agents.

Autonomous Systems and Smart Cities

NVIDIA’s announcements included updates to its autonomous vehicle platform, showcasing how AI will revolutionize transportation. The company also introduced smart city solutions designed to enhance urban living through AI-powered traffic management and energy optimization.

NVIDIA’s announcements extended to the automotive industry, where its DRIVE Hyperion AV platform is fostering a safer and smarter future for AVs. Built on the new NVIDIA AGX Thor system-on-a-chip (SoC), the platform allows vehicles to achieve next-level functional safety and autonomous capabilities using generative AI models.

Huang explained that synthetic data is critical for AV development, as it dramatically enhances real-world datasets. NVIDIA’s AI data factories – powered by Omniverse and Cosmos platforms – generate synthetic driving scenarios, increasing the effectiveness of training data exponentially.

NVIDIA’s Future Project DIGITS: Compact AI supercomputer

Huang concluded his NVIDIA keynote at CES 2025 with a final “one more thing” announcement: Project DIGITS, NVIDIA’s smallest yet most powerful AI supercomputer, powered by the cutting-edge GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip.

“This is NVIDIA’s latest AI supercomputer,” Huang declared, revealing its compact size, claiming it’s portable enough to “practically fit in a pocket.”

Project DIGITS enables developers and engineers to train and deploy AI models directly from their desks, providing the full power of NVIDIA’s AI stack in a compact form.

Set to launch in May, Project DIGITS represents NVIDIA’s push to make AI supercomputing accessible to individuals as well as organisations.

Transformative AI Applications in Healthcare

Highlighting the potential of AI in healthcare, NVIDIA announced partnerships with leading medical institutions to accelerate breakthroughs in diagnostics and personalized medicine. From AI-driven imaging to predictive analytics, the advancements aim to save lives and enhance patient care.

 “AI is not just changing healthcare; it is saving lives,” Huang said.

Conclusion: The Road Ahead

Throwing light on NVIDIA’s journey since inventing the programmable GPU in 1999, Huang described the past 12 years of AI-driven change as transformative.

“Every single layer of the technology stack has been fundamentally transformed,” he said.

With advancements spanning gaming, AI-driven agents, robotics, and autonomous vehicles, Huang foresees an exciting future.

Stay tuned as NVIDIA continues to lead the charge in advancing AI frontiers, driving innovation that will shape the world for decades to come.
