CES 2025: Every Major Announcement Made By Nvidia Chief Jensen Huang In His Keynote Speech

CES 2025: The CES 2025 is in full swing and NVIDIA's CEO Jensen Huang's keynote address was full of announcements that particularly circled around AI. The chip giant's head revealed its latest lineup of GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs, an AI model that will train robots and self-driving cars, its first desktop computer and lots more.

In a captivating two-hour presentation at CES 2025 in Las Vegas, Huang took center stage and shared Nvidia’s vision for the year ahead, setting the tone for the major tech conference running from January 7 to 10.

Nvidia’s soaring value is largely driven by the growing demand for its processors, which are powering the current AI boom. Before Huang's keynote, Nvidia’s shares reached a record high of $149.43, bringing its market cap to $3.66 trillion. This solidified Nvidia's position as the second-most valuable company globally, following Apple.

Brand New GeForce RTX GPU lineup

At CES 2025, Nvidia launched its latest RTX 50 series GPUs, powered by the new Blackwell architecture, replacing the previous Ada Lovelace-based RTX 40 series. The four new models are the RTX 5070, RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5080, and RTX 5090, priced between $549 and $1,999. The RTX 5090 and 5080 will be available from January 30, with the other models following in February.

The RTX 50 series introduces a new design with double flow-through fans, a 3D vapor chamber, and GDDR7 memory. The RTX 5090 is smaller than its predecessor, the RTX 4090, but has increased power at 575 watts. These GPUs will also be integrated into laptops by March.

During his keynote, Huang showcased the RTX 50 series’ features, including RTX Neural Materials, Neural Faces, text-to-animation, and the new DLSS 4. The upgraded DLSS 4 includes Multi Frame generation, which can boost frame rates up to 8X by adding up to three additional frames per rendered frame.

“The new generation of DLSS can generate beyond frames, it can predict the future. […] We used GeForce to enable AI, and now AI is revolutionizing GeForce,” Huang said. The DLSS 4 upgrade will also be available for existing RTX GPUs.

The Cosmos AI model

Nvidia has also revealed a new set of AI models called Cosmos that has the capacity to produce photorealistic videos to train robots and autonomous vehicles. Users will be able to command Cosmos to generate a video of an environment that would incorporate the laws of natural physics.

This will help in cutting down the costs of gathering the traditional real-world data used by robotics companies and AV makers by generating fabricated data. “We are going to have mountains of training data for autonomous vehicles,” Huang said.

Nvidia will be releasing Cosmos under an "open license". “We really hope (Cosmos) will do for the world of robotics and industrial AI what Llama 3 has done for enterprise AI,” Huang stated.

Huang also revealed a new partnership with Toyota, where the Japanese automaker will utilize Nvidia's Orin AI chips and automotive operating system to enhance advanced driver assistance features in select car models.

Nvidia reveals its first-ever desktop

The GPU giant also announced its first-ever desktop computer called Project Digits, which is essentially to aid AI researchers, data scientists and students. The $3,000 desktop operates on a Linux-based operating system and comes with a new GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip capable of delivering a computing performance aimed at running and fine-tuning AI models up to 200 billion parameters in size.

“[Project Digits] runs the entire Nvidia AI stack — all of Nvidia software runs on this. […] It’s a cloud computing platform that sits on your desk … It’s even a workstation if you like it to be,” Huang said onstage. Project Digits will be available in March 2025.

A new family of open-source large language models (LLMs)

Nvidia introduced a new set of open-source large language models (LLMs), developed using Meta’s foundational AI model, Llama. This new series has been named Llama Nemotron. It is designed for enterprises to create and deploy AI agents across various applications, such as customer support, fraud detection, and optimizing product supply chains and inventory management.

The Llama Nemotron models have been trained on high-quality datasets, leveraging Nvidia’s latest pruning techniques, as stated in a press release. They will be available in three versions: Nano, Super, and Ultra, catering to businesses looking to scale their AI operations. The differences between these versions primarily relate to latency, accuracy, and performance.

Software companies like SAP and ServiceNow are expected to be among the first to implement the Llama Nemotron models. These models can be downloaded from build.nvidia.com and Hugging Face, and can also be deployed on enterprise clouds, data centers, PCs, and workstations through Nvidia's NIM microservices.

NVIDIA Mega

Mega is Nvidia's latest release which is a robotic fleet management software for warehouses. Mega is an ecosystem designed to enable robots deployed in warehouses to work together seamlessly. It can manage a variety of robots, including Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), robotic arms, autonomous forklifts, and even humanoid robots.

 "Mega offers enterprises a reference architecture of Nvidia accelerated computing, AI, Nvidia Isaac and Nvidia Omniverse technologies to develop and test digital twins for testing AI-powered robot brains that drive robots, video analytics AI agents, equipment and more for handling enormous complexity and scale,” Nvidia said.

“The new framework brings software-defined capabilities to physical facilities, enabling continuous development, testing, optimization, and deployment,” it added.

The software has reportedly been deployed by a German supply chain company called Kion Group to optimise its workflow.

In 2023, Nvidia introduced a suite of RTX-powered technologies called Ace, designed to create AI-generated game characters. Now, the company is expanding on these capabilities to develop autonomous game characters that can perceive, plan, and act like human players.

In-game AI NPC's

These characters are powered by multi-modal, small language models that enable them to "hear audio cues and perceive their environment."

Nvidia has partnered with game developers to bring these autonomous characters to popular titles like PUBG: Battlegrounds, inZOI, and Naraka: Bladepoint (mobile and PC versions). Additionally, Nvidia announced that its AI virtual assistant, G-Assist, will be available to GeForce RTX users starting in February through the Nvidia app.
