SHOW NOTES:


Topic 1 - Jensen’s trying to paint the bigger picture of accelerated computing everywhere (robotics, autonomous driving, gen-ai, physical ai - but also just everyday enterprise apps). Everything is about keeping the stock price up, and margins high. The stock price provides the warchest to fight off all foes. 

Topic 2 - The inference architecture is a complex mix of GPUs, CPUs, ASICs/LPUs, high-speed networking and seems very different from the training architecture. How big is the burden on data center providers? What are the inference alternatives emerging? 

Topic 3 - Jensen talked a lot about OpenClaw and eventually about NVIDIA’s NemoClaw. How does his interest in Agentic AI tie into his interest in building NVIDIA’s own frontier model
