How to watch Jensen Huang’s Nvidia GTC 2026 keynote – and what to expect

Nvidia will kick off its annual GTC developer conference in San Jose, California, on Monday with CEO Jensen Huang scheduled for 11 a.m. PT / 2 p.m. ET.

GTC – which stands for GPU Technology Conference – is Nvidia’s annual event, from March 16 to March 19. The chipmaker often uses light to announce new products, win contracts, and lay out its vision for the future of computing. Huang’s keynote will focus on Nvidia’s role in the future of computing and AI. You can watch the two-hour address in person at SAP Center or listen to the conversation on the event website.

The massive three-day event focuses on the future of AI across industries, including healthcare, robotics, and autonomous vehicles.

On the software side, there are rumors that Nvidia will release an open platform for business AI, called NemoClawas previously reported by Wired. The platform gives businesses a seamless way to build and deploy AI assistants (programs that can perform many tasks independently) and puts Nvidia to the test. equal contributions from companies like OpenAI.

On the hardware side, the company is also rumored to be releasing a a new chip designed to speed up the AI ​​tracking system – the way in which an AI model uses what it has learned to make solutions or make decisions, unlike the basic training method, which requires a lot of computing power. Fast, low-cost thinking appears to be one of the barriers to expanding AI applications to a larger scale. The chip would represent Nvidia’s latest bid to dominate not only the education market, where it already controls an 80% share, but also the simulation market, where competition from custom chips built by Google, Amazon, and others is growing.

There will also be several partnership announcements and demonstrations to showcase the potential of Nvidia’s AI in the industry.

Kevin Cook, chief financial analyst at Zacks Investment Research, told TechCrunch that attendees are also expected to learn what the company wants to do with its relationship with Groq, a display company Nvidia is said to have paid $20 billion at the end of last year. to license its technology. There is a lot of interest around this, because Jonathan Ross, founder of Groq; Sunny Madra, president of Groq; and other members of the Groq team agreed to join Nvidia to help develop the licensed technology.
