Nvidia is set to commence its yearly GTC developer conference in San Jose, California, on Monday, with CEO Jensen Huang’s keynote planned for 11 a.m. PT / 2 p.m. ET.

GTC — which signifies GPU Technology Conference — is Nvidia’s premier yearly gathering, taking place from March 16 to March 19. The semiconductor giant generally utilizes this platform to reveal new products, highlight collaborations, and present its vision for the future of computing. Huang’s keynote will emphasize Nvidia’s contribution to the future of computing and AI. Attendees can view the two-hour address live at the SAP Center or stream the presentation on the event’s website. The YouTube livestream is integrated below.

The extensive four-day event concentrates on future AI developments across various sectors, such as healthcare, robotics, and self-driving vehicles.

On the software front, there are speculations that Nvidia may unveil an open-source platform for enterprise AI agents, referred to as NemoClaw, as initially reported by Wired. This platform would provide companies a systematic approach to create and implement AI agents (software capable of performing complex tasks independently) and would position Nvidia to align with similar offerings from firms like OpenAI.

On the hardware front, the company is also believed to be introducing a new chip intended to enhance the AI inference process — the method whereby an AI model utilizes learned information to generate answers or make choices, distinguishing it from the initial training phase that demands significantly more computational resources. Accelerating and reducing the cost of inference is widely recognized as one of the remaining hurdles to broad AI application scalability. This chip would signify Nvidia’s latest effort to lead not only the training sector, where it already holds an estimated 80% market share, but also the inference market, where custom chips from Google, Amazon, and others are rapidly emerging as competitors.

Moreover, a variety of partnership announcements and demonstrations highlighting Nvidia’s AI capabilities across sectors are expected.

Kevin Cook, a senior equity strategist at Zacks Investment Research, informed TechCrunch that attendees should also anticipate insights into what the company intends to do regarding its partnership with Groq, the inference firm Nvidia reportedly invested $20 billion in late last year to acquire its technology. There is considerable interest around this collaboration, particularly since Jonathan Ross, Groq’s founder; Sunny Madra, Groq’s president; and additional members of the Groq team have agreed to join Nvidia to further develop and scale that licensed technology.
