🔑 What Just Dropped?
NVIDIA didn’t drop just another chip update at CES 2026.
It dropped a new era of open AI models — covering agentic AI, autonomous vehicles, physical AI, and even healthcare applications.
This isn’t incremental.
This is ecosystem-wide, open, and ready for builders.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
🌎 🚗 Autonomous Vehicles — Alpamayo Family
NVIDIA CEO - Jensen Huang
NVIDIA introduced the Alpamayo portfolio — a suite of open Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models and tools designed for next-gen autonomous vehicles:
Alpamayo 1: The first open, large-scale reasoning VLA model that gives vehicles not just perception — but explainable understanding of their environment.
Alpasim: A fully open simulation framework for closed-loop training and testing across diverse and challenging real-world scenarios.
This goes beyond seeing — it’s about reasoning, decision making, and safety in vehicle autonomy.
Agentic AI
🤖 Agentic AI Models, Nemotron Series
Jensen Huang Introducing the Open Ecosystem
NVIDIA continued its push into AI agents with powerful new open models:
Nemotron Speech: Leaderboard-topping speech models with real-time, low-latency performance for captioning and voice AI applications.
Nemotron RAG: Vision-language models that supercharge search, retrieval, and multimodal understanding across languages and formats.
Nemotron Safety: Advanced safety layers including expanded content filtering and sensitive data detection, making models more trustworthy.
These models aren’t just smart, they’re actionable and safe.
Check Out How To Automate With AI!
Your competitors are already automating. Here's the data.
Retail and ecommerce teams using AI for customer service are resolving 40-60% more tickets without more staff, cutting cost-per-ticket by 30%+, and handling seasonal spikes 3x faster.
But here's what separates winners from everyone else: they started with the data, not the hype.
Gladly handles the predictable volume, FAQs, routing, returns, order status, while your team focuses on customers who need a human touch. The result? Better experiences. Lower costs. Real competitive advantage. Ready to see what's possible for your business?
Robotics
🤖💥 Physical AI & Robotics — Cosmos & Isaac GROOT
NVIDIA also delivered a suite of models tailored for robots and real-world interaction:
Cosmos Reason 2: A state-of-the-art reasoning VLM that gives robots better contextual understanding to operate in complex environments.
Cosmos Transfer 2.5 & Predict 2.5: High-fidelity synthetic video generation tools for training and simulating physical AI systems.
Isaac GROOT N1.6: A vision-and-action model built for humanoid robots — unlocking full-body control with deeper contextual reasoning.
This is a massive leap forward for AI that doesn’t just think — it moves and acts.
TOOLS
🧬 Healthcare AI — Clara Models
AI training → expensive, one-time, dominated by Nvidia already
AI inference → constant usage, massive scale, where the battle is
Nvidia isn't abandoning training GPUs.
They're securing the inference layer.
🧩 The Bigger Picture
NVIDIA hasn’t just released more models.
They’ve opened up entire AI infrastructure stacks across industries:
Vehicles that reason and explain
AI agents that speak, search, and stay safe
Robots that interact with the physical world
AI tools that help design and test medicine
And it’s all open — meaning developers, startups, and enterprises can build on it without waiting for enterprise contracts or paywalls.
This is a structural shift in how AI will be built and deployed in 2026.
Autonomy. Agents. Physical AI. Healthcare.
These tools aren’t experiments — they are platforms.
NVIDIA just laid out a roadmap for the next wave of AI breakthroughs.
