NVIDIA kicks off GTC 2026 conference in San Jose

NVIDIA officially kicked off its GTC 2026 conference in San Jose, California, cementing its status as the world's premier event for artificial intelligence.

In his opening keynote, CEO Jensen Huang framed AI as essential infrastructure, moving beyond simple breakthroughs to become a foundational industrial utility.

A major highlight was the debut of the Vera Rubin platform, designed to significantly boost inference performance.

Perhaps most notably, NVIDIA introduced 'NemoClaw,' an open-source platform for building autonomous AI agents.

By integrating these innovations into robotics and 'AI factories,' NVIDIA is moving from a pure-play hardware provider to a full-stack platform company.

As the industry watches for signs of continued growth, GTC 2026 confirms that NVIDIA intends to remain the core engine powering the future of global technology.
