Nvidia unveils AI breakthroughs at CES 2025, introducing Cosmos models for training robots and cars, advanced gaming chips, and new automotive tech with Toyota, targeting $5B revenue by 2026.
AI to better train robots and cars, as well as new gaming chips dominated Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's keynote speech at the CES 2025 conference on Monday (January 6) as the world's second most valuable firm expounded upon its potential to expand its business.
Nvidia introduced what it calls Cosmos 'foundation' models that generate photo-realistic video which can be used to train robots and self-driving cars at a much lower cost than using conventional data.
By creating what is known in the tech industry as "synthetic" training data, the models can help robots and cars understand the physical world similar to the way that large language models helped chatbots generate responses in natural language.
The new gaming chips use Nvidia's 'Blackwell' AI technology to give video games movie-like graphics, especially in a field known as 'shaders,' which can help images like a ceramic teapot look more realistic by adding imperfections and fingerprint smudges to its surface.
The new chips also have AI technology to help game developers generate more accurate human faces, an area where players are apt to notice even slightly unrealistic features.
Nvidia also said Toyota Motor will use its Orin chips and automotive operating system to power advanced driver assistance in several models. It did not give details about the models.
Huang expects automotive hardware and software revenue of $5 billion in fiscal 2026, up from an expected $4 billion this year.
