Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang unveiled the company's next generation of AI chips at the GTC 2025 conference, including the Blackwell Ultra GB300 and Vera Rubin, its next AI superchips. During the conference, Huang emphasized the advancements in AI and his predictions for the industry's future, noting that AI is at an "inflection point" and highlighting the evolution of AI from perception to generative AI, and now to agentic AI which can understand context and generate answers. Nvidia's new roadmap includes the Blackwell Ultra, slated for release in the second half of 2025, and the Vera Rubin AI chip, expected in late 2026.
The Blackwell Ultra isn't built on a completely new architecture but it offers enhanced capabilities, including 20 petaflops of AI performance and 288GB of HBM3e memory. In addition to the chip announcements, Nvidia revealed that it is building the Nvidia Accelerated Quantum Research Center (NVAQC) in Boston, aimed at integrating quantum computing with AI supercomputers, despite Huang's recent claims that practical quantum systems are still decades away. The NVAQC will collaborate with institutions like the Harvard Quantum Initiative and MIT, with aims to solve challenging problems in quantum computing and enable accelerated quantum supercomputing.
