Nvidia told CNBC that the high-end RTX 5090 chips will be able to run AI models and do computer graphics, including helping game makers integrate generative AI into their characters in games like PUBG: Battlegrounds.

The new processors will also be able to run large language models and image generation models from companies including Meta, Mistral, and Stability AI.

He also announced that Toyota Motor Corp (NYSE:TM) will use Nvidia Drive AGX Orin to enhance its automated driving capabilities.

Nvidia forged a deal to provide driver-assistance chips and software for Toyota vehicles.

Nvidia expects its automotive vertical business to grow to ~$5 billion in fiscal 2026 from ~$4 billion in fiscal 2025.

Some of Nvidia Drive AGX clients include BYD Co (OTC:BYDDF) (OTC:BYDDY), Li Auto Inc (NASDAQ:LI), Lucid Group Inc (NASDAQ:LCID), Rivian Automotive, Inc (NASDAQ:RIVN), Xiaomi Corp (OTC:XIACF) (OTC:XIACY), ZEEKR Intelligent Technology Holding (NYSE:ZK).

At the event, Nvidia also flagged its alliance with Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:META) on innovating open-source Llama models, which Daniel Newman of The Futurum Group expects to outperform OpenAI potentially.

Huang showcased physical AI tools to train robots, leveraging simulated environments that closely mimic the real world. These tools enabled higher automation in warehouses and factories and boosted a humanoid-robot market that the company said could be worth $38 billion in decades, the Wall Street Journal reports.

Huang told the WSJ that the ChatGPT moment for general robotics is just around the corner.

Nvidia product director Justin Walker told CNBC that despite being an AI company and a gaming company, the gaming side still benefits tremendously from being an AI company.

Nvidia also announced its Cosmos foundation models, which generate photorealistic video to train robots and self-driving cars at a more affordable cost.

Cosmos will be available on an "open license," similar to Meta's Llama 3 language models. Huang expects Cosmos to do the same for robotics and industrial AI as Llama 3 has done for enterprise AI, Reuters reports.

Bank of America's Vivek Arya told Reuters that he will await possible upside from Nvidia's robotics by drawing [parallels with the metaverse and autonomous cars.
