Nvidia's annual product launch event took place in San Jose, California, on Thursday. Founder and CEO Jensen Huang participated in the event, highlighting technology developed by Israeli companies Mellanox and Deci, which Nvidia acquired in previous years.
The main protagonists of the evening were the Spectrum-X and Quantum-X chips, developed in Yokne'am and Tel Aviv, which reduce energy consumption in data centers through optical technology, eliminating the need for conventional communication switches.
Another notable launch was the result of last year's $300 million acquisition of Deci, an Israeli company known for its contributions to advanced language models, fundamental to artificial intelligence.
Nvidia revealed that this acquisition has strengthened its ability to develop advanced reasoning models, such as Nemotron, based on open-source training models, aimed at companies seeking to develop agent AI for complex tasks.
Additionally, Nvidia introduced Dynamo, a software environment partially developed in Israel, designed to optimize the handling of reasoning models on up to a thousand graphics processors.
With these innovations, Nvidia seeks to consolidate its position as a comprehensive supplier against competitors like Dell and HP. They also announced a new safety product for autonomous vehicles called Halos, which also represents a direct challenge to companies like Mobileye and Qualcomm.
