At GTC Paris — held alongside VivaTech, Europe’s largest tech event — NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang delivered a clear message: Europe isn’t just adopting AI — it’s building it. “We now have a new industry, an AI industry, and it’s now part of the new infrastructure, called intelligence infrastructure, that will be used by every country, every society,” Huang said, addressing an audience gathered online and at the iconic Dôme de Paris. From exponential inference growth to quantum breakthroughs, and from infrastructure to industry, agentic AI to robotics, Huang outlined how the region is laying the groundwork for an AI-powered future. A New Industrial Revolution At the heart of this transformation, Huang explained, are systems like GB200 NVL72 — “one giant GPU” and NVIDIA’s most powerful AI platform yet — now in full production and powering everything from sovereign models to quantum computing. “This machine was designed to be a thinking machine, a thinking machine, in the sense that it reasons, it plans, it spends a lot of time talking to itself,” Huang said, walking the audience through the size and scale of these machines and their performance. At GTC Paris, Huang showed audience members the innards of some of NVIDIA’s latest hardware. There’s more coming, with Huang saying NVIDIA’s partners are now producing 1,000 GB200 systems a week, “and this is just the beginning.” He walked the audience through a range of available systems ranging from the tiny NVIDIA DGX Spark to rack-mounted RTX PRO Servers. Huang explained that NVIDIA is working to help countries use technologies like these to build both AI infrastructure — services built for third parties to use and innovate on — and AI factories, which companies build for their own use, to generate revenue. NVIDIA is partnering with European governments, telcos and cloud providers to deploy NVIDIA technologies across the region. NVIDIA is also expanding its network of technology centers across Europe — including new hubs in Finland, Germany, Spain, Italy and the U.K. — to accelerate skills development and quantum growth. Quantum Meets Classical Europe’s quantum ambitions just got a boost. The NVIDIA CUDA-Q platform is live on Denmark’s Gefion supercomputer, opening new possibilities for hybrid AI and quantum engineering. In addition, Huang announced that CUDA-Q is now available on NVIDIA Grace Blackwell systems. Across the continent, NVIDIA is partnering with supercomputing centers and quantum hardware builders to advance hybrid quantum-AI research and accelerate quantum error correction. “Quantum computing is reaching an inflection point,” Huang said. “We are within reach of being able to apply quantum computing, quantum classical computing, in areas that can solve some interesting problems in the coming years.” Sovereign Models, Smarter Agents European developers want more control over their models. Enter NVIDIA Nemotron, designed to help build large language models tuned to local needs. “And so now you know that you have access to an enhanced open model that is still open, that is top of the leader chart,” Huang said. These models will be coming to Perplexity, a reasoning search engine, enabling secure, multilingual AI deployment across Europe. “You can now ask and get questions answered in the language, in the culture, in the sensibility of your country,” Huang said. Huang explained how NVIDIA is helping countries across Europe build AI infrastructure. Every company will build its own agents, Huang said. To help create those agents, Huang introduced a suite of agentic AI blueprints, including an Agentic AI Safety blueprint for enterprises and governments. The new NVIDIA NeMo Agent toolkit and NVIDIA AI Blueprint for building data flywheels further accelerate the development of safe, high-performing AI agents. To help deploy these agents, NVIDIA is partnering with European governments, telcos and cloud providers to deploy the DGX Cloud Lepton platform across the region, providing instant access to accelerated computing capacity. “One model architecture, one deployment, and you can run it anywhere,” Huang said, adding that Lepton is now integrated with Hugging Face, giving developers direct access to global compute. The Industrial Cloud Goes Live AI isn’t just virtual. It’s powering physical systems, too, sparking a new industrial revolution. “We’re working on industrial AI with one company after another,” Huang said, describing work to build digital twins based on the NVIDIA Omniverse platform with companies across the continent. Huang explained that everything he showed during his keynote was “computer simulation, not animation” and that it looks beautiful because “it turns out the world is beautiful, and it turns out math is beautiful.” To further this work, Huang announced NVIDIA is launching the world’s first industrial AI cloud — to be built in Germany — to help Europe’s manufacturers simulate, automate and optimize at scale. “Soon, everything that moves will be robotic,” Huang said. “And the car is the next one.” NVIDIA DRIVE, NVIDIA’s full-stack AV platform, is now in production to accelerate the large-scale deployment of safe, intelligent transportation. And to show what’s coming next, Huang was joined on stage by Grek, a pint-sized robot, as Huang talked about how NVIDIA partnered with DeepMind and Disney to build Newton, the world’s most advanced physics training engine for robotics. The Next Wave The next wave of AI has begun — and it’s exponential, Huang explained. “We have physical robots, and we have information robots. We call them agents,” Huang said. “The technology necessary to teach a robot to manipulate, to simulate — and of course, the manifestation of an incredible robot — is now right in front of us.” This new era of AI is being driven by a surge in inference workloads. “The number of people using inference has gone from 8 million to 800 million — 100x in just a couple of years,” Huang said. To meet this demand, Huang emphasized the need for a new kind of computer: “We need a special computer designed for thinking, designed for reasoning. And that’s what Blackwell is — a thinking machine.” Huang and Grek, as he explained how AI is driving advancements in robotics. These Blackwell-powered systems will live in a new class of data centers — AI factories — built to generate tokens, the raw material of modern intelligence. “These AI factories are going to generate tokens,” Huang said, turning to Grek with a smile. “And these tokens are going to become your food, little Grek.” With that, the keynote closed on a bold vision: a future powered by sovereign infrastructure, agentic AI, robotics — and exponential inference — all built in partnership with Europe.

Il est inacceptable que le lancement de Marathon ait été retardé, surtout après l'alpha décevante qui a laissé tant de joueurs sur leur faim. Bungie, en tant que créateur de Destiny, devrait savoir mieux que de faire attendre sa communauté avec des promesses non tenues. Pendant ce temps, Donkey Kong Bananza a volé la vedette, comme si les fans de Marathon n'étaient pas déjà frustrés par la situation. Ce manque de respect pour les joueurs est scandaleux ! Nous méritons des jeux qui ne sont pas seulement des annonces vides, mais des expériences solides ! C'est le moment où l'industrie doit se réveiller et comprendre que les joueurs ne sont pas des poches à billets

In a world where dreams fade like whispers in the wind, I find myself grappling with a sense of profound solitude. The announcement of the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake in 2020 felt like a beacon of hope, a reminder that nostalgia could be revived and cherished once more. Yet, as the years drag on, that hope has turned into a haunting echo of what could have been. Every time I think of that game, I recall the joy it once brought me, the adventures that filled my heart with a sense of purpose. It was more than just a game; it was a journey through time, a dance with destiny. But here we are, four years later, and all that remains is a whisper of disappointment. Ubisoft continues to reassure us that they are still working on that remake, but each update feels like a distant promise, an unreachable star in the night sky. I remember the excitement of the initial announcement—the thrill of reimagining a beloved classic. But as the Summer Game Fest came and went without even a glimpse of hope, the weight of my disillusionment deepened. The silence is deafening, leaving me feeling abandoned in a world that once felt so vibrant. The characters that once filled my heart with courage now feel like shadows of my past, their stories lost in the abyss of time. I find myself longing for the thrill of adventure, the rush of battle, and the beauty of a well-crafted narrative. Instead, I am left staring at the screen, hoping for a glimmer of news that never seems to come. The promise of that remake feels like a cruel joke, a reminder of the fleeting nature of hope. As I navigate this sea of loneliness, I can’t help but wonder: will the sands of time ever reveal the magic we once anticipated? Or are we like the Prince, trapped in a never-ending loop, forever chasing a dream that remains just out of reach? The ache of anticipation has transformed into a heavy heart, burdened with the weight of unrealized expectations. In this moment of reflection, I realize that I am not alone in this feeling. Many of us are waiting, hoping for something that may never arrive. It’s a shared grief, a collective yearning for the joy that once was. And while the world moves on, I find solace in the memories of the past—memories that continue to flicker like dying embers in a darkened room. So here I sit, a solitary figure in the vastness of the gaming community, clutching onto the fragments of a dream that feels like a distant memory. Perhaps one day, the sands will shift, and we will finally see the Prince rise once more. Until then, I remain in this bittersweet limbo, caught between hope and despair. #PrinceOfPersia #Ubisoft #SandsOfTime #GamingCommunity #Nostalgia

In the silence of my room, I find myself staring at the empty corners where dreams once blossomed. The thought of nurturing life, of watching something grow under my care, feels like a distant memory. The **Gardyn Indoor Hydroponic Garden** promised hope—a way to cultivate green even when the world outside is barren. But here I am, clutching my heart, feeling the weight of disappointment. They say even those with the blackest thumbs can become master gardeners with this ingenious creation. Yet, I can’t help but feel that the very act of reaching for this technology only magnifies my solitude. Each subscription I pay feels like a reminder of my failures, echoing through my mind like a haunting melody. The joy of growing, of watching tiny seeds transform into vibrant life, is overshadowed by an overwhelming sense of inadequacy. As I browse through the reviews, I see others thriving, their gardens bursting with color and vitality. It’s a sharp contrast to my own barren reality. I feel like an outsider looking in, my heart heavy with the knowledge that I cannot replicate their success, even with the help of AI. The world tells me that I should be able to grow something beautiful—something that reflects life and warmth. Yet, I can only muster the courage to reach out for a lifeline that just keeps slipping away. In moments of quiet despair, I question my worth. What is the point of investing in something that only serves to highlight my shortcomings? The **better growing through AI** feels like a cruel joke. It’s as if the universe is reminding me that no amount of technology can bridge the chasm of my isolation. I yearn for the simple joy of nurturing life, yet here I stand, a weary soul wrapped in the chains of disappointment. Every time I see the bright greens and vibrant reds of thriving plants online, it cuts deeper. I wonder if I will ever know that feeling, or if I will remain alone in this garden of shadows. The promise of a flourishing indoor garden now feels like a mirage, a fleeting glimpse of what could have been if only I were capable of growing beyond my sorrow. Perhaps it’s not just about gardening; perhaps it’s about connection—seeking companionship in a world that often feels cold. I long for someone who understands the weight of this solitude, who knows the struggle of wanting to cultivate something beautiful but feeling lost in the process. With every passing day, I realize that the seeds I wish to plant go beyond soil and water; they are a testament to my desire for companionship, for growth, for life. And so, I sit here, clutching my dreams tightly, hoping that someday I will learn to grow not just plants, but the courage to embrace the beauty around me despite the shadows that linger. #Gardyn #IndoorGarden #Hydroponics #Loneliness #Heartbreak

Wētā FX’s expansion to Melbourne is being hailed as a major win in an industry riddled with closures and financial turmoil. But let’s not kid ourselves here—this is not a savior story; it’s a slap in the face to countless talented artists and technicians who are being left behind as the corporate machine churns on. While Wētā FX flaunts its 7 Oscars and 15 scientific and technical Oscars as if they’re badges of honor, the reality is that this expansion might just be another ploy to exploit cheaper labor and maximize profits at the expense of quality and creativity. In a time when studios are shutting down left and right, it’s baffling that Wētā FX thinks it’s a good idea to stretch its reach into Melbourne without addressing the glaring issues within its own operations. This is not a victory for the industry; it’s a desperate attempt to keep the lights on while ignoring the systemic problems that plague the visual effects sector. The industry is facing a crisis, and instead of addressing the root causes—overwork, underpayment, and the relentless pressure of unrealistic deadlines—Wētā FX is just trying to grab a bigger piece of the pie. Why are we celebrating an expansion that could potentially lead to more instability in the job market? Wētā FX’s move to Melbourne could mean more jobs, yes, but at what cost? What about the existing employees who are already stretched thin? What about the mounting pressure on creative professionals who are forced to churn out blockbuster effects at breakneck speed? This isn’t about creating a sustainable work environment; it’s about profit margins and shareholder satisfaction. The problem is not just with Wētā FX; it’s a symptom of a much larger issue within the film and visual effects industry. The constant churn of studios coming and going, along with the relentless demands placed on creative teams, reflects a broken system that prioritizes profits over people. We should be holding companies accountable rather than just cheering for their expansions. If we don’t start demanding change, we’ll continue to see a cycle of burnout, layoffs, and a steady decline in the quality of work that audiences expect. And let's talk about the so-called "innovation" that Wētā FX touts. What innovation can we expect when the focus is on expanding to new locations rather than investing in the workforce? New studios don’t equate to new ideas or better working conditions. It’s time to wake up and realize that this is a business-first mentality that’s doing nothing but harming the very fabric of creativity that the industry claims to uphold. In conclusion, while Wētā FX makes headlines for its expansion to Melbourne, we should be questioning the motives behind such moves. This isn’t a time for celebration; it’s a time for scrutiny. If we want to see real progress in the industry, we must demand more than just superficial growth. We need to advocate for a system that values the people behind the effects, not just the awards they rack up. #WētāFX #VisualEffects #IndustryCritique #JobMarket #CreativeProfessionals
