Nvidia’s GTC 2024: Bold AI Promises Fail To Impress Investors

by THEFUTURE.TEAM

March 19, 2025

Nvidia’s annual GTC conference, a key event for AI, robotics, and autonomous systems, wrapped up with CEO Jensen Huang laying out an ambitious vision for the future. However, despite unveiling next-gen chips and high-profile partnerships, Nvidia’s stock took a hit—falling over 3% as investors remained unimpressed.

Key Announcements From GTC

Next-Gen AI Chips: Nvidia introduced the Blackwell Ultra GPU, set to launch in late 2024, boasting more memory to support larger AI models. The Vera Rubin architecture, launching in 2026, will significantly improve chip-to-chip data transfer, a critical factor for large-scale AI applications. Vera Rubin Ultra is planned for 2027, followed by Feynman Architecture in 2028.
AI-Powered Robotics: Huang highlighted a $50 trillion opportunity in industrial AI and robotics, with Nvidia’s GR00T N1, a foundation model for humanoid robots featuring advanced reasoning capabilities. The framework includes Newton, an open-source physics engine developed with Google DeepMind and Disney Research.
Silicon Photonics for AI Factories: Nvidia’s Quantum-X Photonics chips, launching later this year, will connect millions of GPUs across multiple locations while significantly cutting power consumption. Spectrum-X chips will follow in 2026.
Enterprise AI and Desktop LLMs: Nvidia unveiled DGX desktop AI computers, powered by Blackwell Ultra, enabling developers to run large language models on workstations. Manufacturers include Dell, Lenovo, and HP.
GM Partnership for AI-Driven Cars: Nvidia will collaborate with General Motors to integrate AI into next-generation cars, robots, and factories. GM will use Nvidia’s Omniverse 3D platform to simulate assembly lines and deploy Nvidia’s AI technology in its autonomous driving systems.

Market Reaction

Despite these advancements, investors weren’t convinced. Nvidia’s stock dropped over 3%, reflecting broader concerns after a volatile month that erased billions from its market cap. While Nvidia’s roadmap is ambitious, the market appears to be weighing execution risks and AI sector competition.

Bank Of England Holds Rates At 3.75% In Split Vote As Inflation Risks Rise

September 17, 2026

The Bank of England kept its benchmark interest rate at 3.75% on Thursday, but the decision was not unanimous. In a 6-3 vote, the Monetary Policy Committee kept rates unchanged, while three members backed a 25-basis-point increase to 4%. Renewed energy price pressures have added to concerns that inflation could remain elevated.

Inflation Pressures Remain

Policymakers said inflation “is likely to rise further over coming quarters,” citing higher and more volatile crude oil and refined energy prices since the conflict began.

So far, there has been “little evidence” of significant second-round effects, such as broader wage and price increases. Inflation risks, however, are now “tilted to the upside” and have increased since the July Monetary Policy Report.

Energy Prices Add To Inflation Risks

Brent crude has risen 36% since July, reaching $106 a barrel on Sept. 14, while UK wholesale gas prices increased 78% to 207 pence per therm.

Higher energy costs can feed into transport, production and household expenses, raising costs across supply chains. Refinery pressures have also pushed crack spreads, the difference between refined fuel and crude prices, well above pre-conflict levels.

Economy Shows Resilience

Despite the inflation risks, UK economic activity has held up slightly better than the Bank expected. A softer labor market and higher borrowing costs are expected to help reduce inflation over time.

Previous monetary tightening is still working through the economy, according to policymakers. So far, the latest energy shock has not produced clear evidence of a broader wage-price spiral.

Major Central Banks Take Different Paths

The decision comes during a busy period for global monetary policy. The Federal Reserve raised rates Wednesday to 3.75%-4% in its first increase since 2023, while the European Central Bank recently lifted its deposit rate to 2.5%.

The Bank of Japan is due to announce its decision Friday, with markets expecting a rate increase. Thursday’s split vote shows that pressure for tighter policy remains within the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee.
