NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang unveiledDGX Spark,” “DGX Station,” “Isaac GR00T N1,” “Blackwell Ultra,” and “Vera Rubin” at the chipmaker’s AI Conference for Developers.

Key Details:
  1. DGX Spark” is a personal AI Supercomputer that enables students and developers to experiment with advanced AI models at home.

  2. DGX Station” is a personal AI Workstation designed to support AI developments without the full scale of a data center.

  3. Isaac GR00T N1” is a general-purpose foundation model for humanoid robots to seamlessly navigate, adapt, and interact with the real world.

  4. Blackwell Ultra” is a new cutting-edge GPU designed to handle the demanding AI-powered workloads of Reasoning Engines that use Test-Time Compute (TTC), which allocates more compute during AI Inference: everything that happens after you enter your prompt.

  5. Vera Rubin” is NVIDIA’s first custom CPU tightly packaged with two GPUs on a single Die (i.e., a small block of silicon material) to minimize latency and maximize bandwidth.

Why It’s Important:
  • This flurry of announcements wasn’t enough to lift investor spirits. NVIDIA’s stock dropped 3.43% to $115.43.

  • Isaac GR00T N1” equips humanoid robots with the ability to understand natural language and emulate human movements by observing human actions.

⚙️Zoom’s Upgraded AI Companion With Agentic Skills

Zoom’s AI Companion now has Agentic Skills across the entire video conferencing platform’s ecosystem to schedule and summarize virtual meetings.

Key Details:
  • The four new Agentic Skills include:

    1. Reasoning: Process information to make decisions.

    2. Memory: Retain context across interactions.

    3. Action: Execute tasks based on learned information.

    4. Orchestration: Coordinate multiple Actions to achieve a larger goal.

  • It can autonomously control all parts of the virtual meeting, from scheduling to creating an agenda, assigning tasks, and crafting tailored follow-ups.

  • “AI Companion is evolving from a personal assistant to being truly Agentic, which signals a major leap forward in how AI can enhance productivity and collaboration at work,” said Zoom CPO Smita Hashim.

Why It’s Important:
  • Zoom CEO Eric Yuan believes we’ll send a digital avatar of ourselves to virtual meetings within the next five years. But as humans talk, we gesture to help convey meaning. When digital avatars try to replicate this behavior, they make generic movements regardless of what they say.

  • Researchers at Stanford University (“Stanford”) recently developed an AI System that enables digital avatars to create gestures that match spoken words. It was trained on 1,000 hours of spoken language from Audiobooks and 60 hours of human gestures with corresponding speech patterns for Motion Capture.
