Nvidia Expands AI, Gaming, and Automotive Reach at CES 2025
AI Tools for Robotics and Self-Driving Cars
Nvidia unveiled its "Cosmos" foundation models, designed to generate realistic videos for training robots and self-driving cars using synthetic data. This approach offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional data collection methods. Users can input text descriptions, and Cosmos will create videos adhering to the laws of physics. The models will be available under an open license, similar to Meta's Llama 3. Nvidia aims for Cosmos to have a similar impact on robotics as Llama 3 has had on enterprise AI. However, analysts caution that affordability and reliability are crucial for success in the robotics market. For more on AI advancements, see HONOR Magic7 Series: First with Google Gemini AI.
New Gaming Chips and Desktop Computer
Nvidia introduced the RTX 50 series gaming chips, powered by its latest AI technology, "Blackwell." These chips promise more lifelike video game graphics, especially in rendering fine details. They also enhance the realism of human faces in games. The chips will range from $549 to $1,999, with high-end models available on January 30 and more affordable options in February. Nvidia also launched its first desktop computer, Project DIGITS, aimed at software developers. Priced at $3,000, it runs on a Linux-based Nvidia operating system and uses a powerful chip developed with MediaTek. It offers developers a compact tool for testing AI systems and will be available in March. For insights on other tech releases, explore Samsung Unpacks Galaxy S25 Series: Four New Smartphones.
