Story

At his June 1 GTC Taipei keynote, Huang reframed computing as stating intent to an AI that writes code or calls tools, and revealed Vera Rubin, the next platform after Blackwell, purpose-built for agentic training and inference. When the hardware roadmap is explicitly indexed to agent workloads, that's where compute demand is heading. The whole stack from silicon up is reorganizing around agents, not chat.
