Nvidia GTC 2025 - all the news and updates from Jensen Huang keynote as it happens

Right - time for some AI (if we hadn't talked about it enough already)

"AI will go everywhere," Huang notes, showing off a look at the various areas we'll be focusing on today.

"I love what we do - and I love even more what you do with it!" Huang declares.

"We've now reached the tipping point of computing - CUDA made it possible," Huang notes, introducing a video thanking everyone who made this progress possible - around 6 million developers across 200 countries.

Huang runs us through the entire CUDA library in some detail (and some enthusiasm too) - it's clear that Nvidia has an AI tool for everything from quantum chemistry to gene sequencing.

Seeing it up close, the fonts and images used in the keynote look a little...off? Are they AI-generated?

If so, they look pretty perfect, without the usual mistakes you'd see in AI-generated content...have a look at the below and see what you think.

"The computer has become the generator of tokens, not a retriever of files," he declares - as data centers turn into what Huang calls AI factories, with one job only - generating tokens which are then turned into music, words, research and more.

Huang notes AI is going through an inflection point, as it becomes smarter, more widely-used and got more resources to power it.

He expects data center build-out to reach over a trillion-dollars before long, as demand for AI and a new computing approach gets higher.

The world is going through a platform shift, he notes, shifting from human-made software to AI-made.

"It's a transition in the way we do computing," he notes.

For those of you on leather jacket watch, it's a smooth, stylish number this year - anyone want to take a guess at the price?

The ability of AI to reason can be the next big breakthrough, Huang notes, with the increased availability of tokens a major part of this.

Teaching the AI how to reason is a challenge though - where does the data come from? There's only so much we can find...reinforcement learning could be the key though, helping an AI solve a problem step-by-step, even when it knows the answer.

The next step of AI will be enabled by improved training and knowledge work, Huang notes, teaching models and AIs to become smarter and more efficient.

Last year, we all got it wrong, he says, as the scaling potential of AI is greater than (almost) anyone could have predicted.

"It's easily a hundred times more than we thought we needed, this time last year," he notes.

GTC is "the superbowl of AI", Huang claims - laughing that the only way he could fit more people in to the event is to grow the host city of San Jose...

The next step is "physical AI" he notes - robotics!

But there's plenty of time for that later, Huang teases....

"Generative AI has changed how computing is done," Huang notes, describing a move from retrieval-based working to a generation-based one.

"Every single layer of computing has been transformed."

And now - agentic AI is what we're living in right now, with improved reasoning, solving and planning actions.

Huang starts by commemorating 25 years of GeForce - a huge lifespan for any technology - holding up one of the newest Blackwell GPUs.

"AI has now come back to revolutionize computer graPhics," he declares, showing us a stunning real-time generated AI video backdrop.

"What an amazing year...we have a lot of amazing things to talk about" he declares, ushering us in to the virtual Nvidia HQ via virtual reality.

Huang admits he's doing this keynote without a script - brave!

"Together, we take the next great leap," the video ends, showing a view of Nvidia's futuristic San Jose HQ.

The video ends, and we welcome Jensen Huang, CEO and co-founder of Nvidia, to the stage.

"This is how intelligence is made - this is a whole new factory," an intro video outlining "endless possibilities" notes.

We're shown a number of possible use cases for the future of AI, from weather forecasting to space exploration to curing disease - all powered by tokens.

Here we go! The lights go down and it's time for the keynote to begin...

Also, make sure to keep an eye out for Jensen Huang's leather jacket - the Nvidia CEO is always snappily-dressed, and jacket-watch has become a popular trend for us media types - it's important to look good when you're presenting the future of AI, you know...

Less than half an hour to go! Get some snacks and energy drinks ready, this could be a long one...

If you want to watch along with the keynote, you'll need to head to the Nvidia GTC 2025 website, where you can sign up.

You've not got long though - Jensen Huang will be on stage in just a few hours time!

The company also unveiled a host of new data center hardware, and we're expecting more data center, server and workstation news today for sure.

But there was also a big focus on robotics, particularly in factories, and the role AI can play there, so it may well be we see more of the same today.

We're not far off the opening keynote at Nvidia GTC 2025 now, so what can we expect?

Last year's keynote saw the reveal of Blackwell, the company's new generation of GPUs, and we're expecting another major hardware update today.

Good morning and welcome to our live coverage of the Nvidia GTC 2025 keynote!

We're super excited to see what Nvidia has in store for us today, with company CEO and founder Jensen Huang set to take to the stage in a few hours time.
