 AI growth: Power, facilities and speed

One of the most pressing themes at GTC was the infrastructure demands driven by AI growth. NVIDIA's ambitious 600kW+ per rack power density target underscores the need for radical facility upgrades. Innovations like Delta Power's 800V DC busbar and photonic switching highlight the massive infrastructure demands. 

WWT's prebuilt AI Factory racks accelerate deployment, allowing for GPU utilization within the critical 18-month depreciation window.

 Data: The bottleneck to scale and ROI

Data consistency and structure remain significant barriers to scaling Generative AI (GenAI). Even industry leaders like BMW struggle with clear ROI metrics at scale. WWT is poised to bridge the gap between business needs and IT readiness, offering multi-modal data curation consulting to reduce time and cost to value.

 The rise of Agentic AI, physical AI and robotics

Agentic AI, where systems of AI agents collaborate, was a highlight at GTC. This new frontier in GenAI emphasizes the need for a clear Agentic AI approach. The conference also spotlighted robotics, with innovations like DaVinci 5 and robotic dogs, presenting partnership opportunities for WWT with vendors seeking AI expertise. NVIDIA's focus on bridging robotics and physical AI for training purposes, along with the trend toward hybrid AI tooling approaches, further illustrates the evolving landscape. Agentic AI frameworks are entering mainstream use cases, developing more autonomous systems and establishing mind maps for multistep reasoning.

NVIDIA's announcements, including the GR00T platform and Cosmos for Physical AI, emphasize the integration of AI into physical environments with models that are pre-trained for basic robotic motor skills. Collaborations like Newton, developed with Google DeepMind and Disney Research, aim to enhance robot learning and simulation accuracy.

NVIDIA Omniverse Blueprint for digital twins and AI Factories allows pre-construction optimization of AI environments. WWT's AI Proving Ground (AIPG) and ATC attracted significant interest for fast-tracking deployments. Quantum computing, while not replacing existing computing, augments it for specialized tasks like simulation and synthetic data creation, aiming toward a future with 1 million qubit systems. Additionally, the importance of the storage tier in AI solutions was emphasized, with leading storage OEMs innovating beyond "fast storage." New capabilities such as integrated vector databases, real-time RAG and KV Caching are differentiating storage solutions, underscoring their critical role in supporting AI advancements.

 Market sentiment: Waiting for the killer App?

Many clients are hesitant, waiting for a "killer app" before fully investing in GenAI. However, the consensus at GTC is that GenAI is foundational, enabling future breakthroughs across domains like robotics, medicine and logistics. The entry of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) into the cloud provider market, alongside AWS, GCP and Azure, signifies a competitive landscape that could accelerate AI deployment. In healthcare, breakthrough models such as Parabricks, Bionemo and RAPID MSA-search are accelerating, showcasing AI's transformative potential in this critical sector. Early adopters will outpace laggards.

 Quantum computing insights

Jensen Huang's fireside chat on quantum computing highlighted the diversity of research methodologies and the complementary role of quantum and classical computing. Quantum computing's potential in error correction and synthetic data creation promises to revolutionize fields like basic science and advanced materials.

 Wrapping up

NVIDIA GTC 2025 was a testament to the transformative power of AI and quantum computing. 

WWT is excited to continue to help our clients navigate the evolving technological landscape and capitalize on emerging opportunities.
