On the August 26 earnings call Huang said "AI has reached its inflection point. It's doing useful work. Its tokens are productive and profitable. Now, compute is revenue," and dismissed the AGI debate as "kind of senseless" in favor of whether AI does profitable work (CNBC). Nvidia posted record revenue of $96.2B, up 106% year over year with data center up 117%, guided next quarter to $108B while still supply constrained, and Huang forecast about 70% fiscal 2028 revenue growth. The 15-100x figure is the one to carry into capacity planning, because it's the vendor's own estimate of what agentic workloads do to demand.

At his June 1 GTC Taipei keynote, Huang reframed computing as stating intent to an AI that writes code or calls tools, and revealed Vera Rubin, the next platform after Blackwell, purpose-built for agentic training and inference. When the hardware roadmap is explicitly indexed...
8.3% stake in the Amsterdam-based neocloud planning 5+ GW of data center capacity by 2030. Jensen Huang called Nebius "an AI cloud designed for the agentic era." The neocloud layer (Nebius, CoreWeave) is becoming infrastructure between hyperscalers and AI companies. CNBC
The Rust sandbox runtime for autonomous agents is at 8,465 stars and cut v0.0.116 on August 28, still on a 0.0.x line five months after its February 24 creation (GitHub). A 1:2.8 PR-to-issue ratio reverses the PR-heavy pattern across every other trending agent repo this week....
GTC 2026 runs March 16-19 in San Jose. Expected: Vera Rubin architecture deep-dive (VR200 NVL72 delivering 3.3x inference performance vs Blackwell Ultra), possible Feynman architecture early samples (TSMC A16 1.6nm with silicon photonics — optical signals replacing electrical...
$12,930,300,000. Not "about $13 billion." That exact figure is in Jensen Huang's September 3 post, and the precision is the first sign this is a signed agreement rather than the leak-stage reporting we got in late August. NVIDIA's blog frames the platform in the numbers that m...
CNBC reports investments include a $30B stake in OpenAI, $2.1B in data center operator IREN, and $3.2B in Corning for three new fiber-optic facilities. NVIDIA is financing the entire AI supply chain while ensuring deployments run on NVIDIA hardware. Critics flag the circularit...
