Expect Nvidia GTC 2025 to feature AI advancements, Jensen Huang's keynote, new GPUs, edge AI and CUDA updates. Stay tuned for previews and event coverage.. Credit: Maria Kray / Shutterstock No company has both driven and benefited from AI advancements more than Nvidia. Last year, Nvidia’s GTC 2024 grabbed headlines with its introduction of the Blackwell architecture and the DGX systems powered by it. With GTC 2025 right around the corner (it runs March 17- 21 in San Jose, Calif.), the tech world is eager to see what Nvidia – and its partners and competitors – will unveil next. Expect GTC 2025 to further solidify Nvidia’s position as an AI leader as it showcases practical applications of generative AI, moving beyond theoretical concepts to real-world implementations. With the evolution of large language models (LLMs), Nvidia will likely demonstrate how these technologies are transforming industries, from healthcare and finance to manufacturing and entertainment Center stage, of course, will be Nvidia’s founder and CEO, Jensen Huang. Known for captivating presentation style and bold pronouncements, Huang’s keynote is expected to set the tone for the conference, offering a glimpse into Nvidia’s vision for the future of AI. Given the increasing demand for AI workloads, expect to see advancements in Nvidia GPUs aimed at addressing power efficiency and scalability, enabling more complex and demanding AI applications. You can also expect a focus on edge AI. Given the proliferation of IoT devices and the need for real-time data processing, Nvidia will likely bring AI capabilities closer to the data source. Nvidia will likely introduce updates to its CUDA (compute unified device architecture) platform, which the company developed to expand the capabilities of GPU acceleration. It’s designed to allow developers to access the computing power of CUDA GPUs and offers libraries and frameworks built to simplify AI development and deployment. In addition to Nvidia, the exhibitor list is a who’s who of the tech industry, featuring companies like AWS, Dell Technologies, HPE, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Databricks, Cisco, Cloudflare, Snowflake, Equinix to name a few.
