Jensen Huang’s Vision for Europe Runs on Plug-In Data Centers
wired ·
At Nvidia’s GTC conference in Berlin, CEO Jensen Huang presented a comprehensive vision for Europe’s AI infrastructure centered on modular, plug-in data centers. He introduced the DSX Pod, a pre-assembled 'AI factory' capable of deployment in just 14 days, designed to overcome Europe's historically slow construction timelines and reduce idle compute time. The keynote also highlighted the emergence of physical AI, with humanoid robotics identified as the next major industry where Europe holds a competitive advantage due to its manufacturing heritage. Nvidia announced partnerships with Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz for autonomous vehicles and unveiled a new full-stack robotics platform alongside the upcoming Agile One reference robot. Huang emphasized that future enterprises will utilize both closed and customized open-source models, driven by the increasing computational demands of AI agents. While the presentation covered technical advancements in inference and power efficiency, it was punctuated by minor disruptions from Greenpeace protesters. The event concluded with an AI-generated Eurovision-style song summarizing the day's announcements.
