Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang used his CES stage time to unveil the company’s next-generation Rubin computing architecture, designed to meet surging AI compute demands and gradually replace Blackwell later this year. Nvidia also showcased its Alpamayo open-source AI models for autonomous vehicles, reinforcing its push to become the foundational platform for robotics and physical-world AI.
