The technology giant Nvidia has presented during the celebration of the largest artificial intelligence (AI) conference, GTC, which has taken place in Silicon Valley, a chip aimed at AI and with which it hopes to boost its weight in the market. Additionally, Nvidia also announced its next-generation AI supercomputer, the Nvidia DGX SuperPOD, capable of large-scale processing of trillion-parameter models with constant uptime.
The company’s executive director and founder, Jensen Huang, has presented the technology, through the new Blackwell computing platform, the new high-end graphics chip aimed at artificial intelligence.
During his speech to more than 11,000 attendees, the manager explained the potential that this new chip can offer at a computing level and its application in software, services, robotics, medical technology, etc. and more. This platform enables real-time generative AI to be unleashed on large language models with trillions of parameters.
Another way of doing computing
Within the framework of the conference, where he gave different demonstrations, he defended another way of doing computing and pointed out that accelerated computing had reached a turning point. In this sense, Huang explained that the rise of multimodal AI, which allows the processing of different types of data handled by different models, gives AI greater adaptability and power and allows for more complex analyses.
This implies, the manager added, a significant increase in the need for computing power and, in addition, a greater demand for advanced computing infrastructure. Thus, he stressed that in the future data centers will be considered as artificial intelligence factories.
Nvidia Corporation is a global leader in artificial intelligence hardware and software. The technology giant designs graphics processing units, application programming interfaces for data science and high-performance computing, as well as chip units for mobile computing and the automotive market. The company was founded on April 5, 1993 by Huan, who has held the position of CEO since 2022.
