During Nvidia’s\u00a0quarterly earnings call<\/a>\u00a0on Wednesday, CEO Jensen Huang said that agentic AI has reached “an inflection point” and that AI agents are “solving real problems.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The company’s powerful chips have been at the heart of the AI boom over the last few years, especially for use in data centers — so much so that Nvidia’s annual revenue for fiscal 2026 zoomed to $216 billion, up 65% from the previous year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Huang called Nvidia an AI infrastructure company, a dramatic evolution from the graphics card company it started as.<\/p>\n

\"AI <\/a> <\/p>\n

The term\u00a0agentic AI<\/a> has been floating around for some time, but now the technology is becoming available for real-world use. Unlike chatbots, which stay within their own boundaries to produce text, images or code,\u00a0AI agents<\/a> can take specific actions — for instance, plan and book a vacation — without a person constantly giving it commands.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a live event just hours before Nvidia released its earnings, Samsung unveiled its\u00a0new Galaxy S26 lineup<\/a> of phones, devoting a good deal of time to talking about the “agentic AI experience” they’ll deliver.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During Nvidia’s call, Huang said that the world has “awakened to the agentic inflection<\/a>” and that it only happened within the last two or three months. He also said he believes the next inflection will be physical AI, a term that describes the embedding of artificial intelligence in machinery, including self-driving cars and robots.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Robots were a notable presence at CES earlier this year, the consumer electronics extravaganza. Companies showed them off doing everything from\u00a0folding clothes<\/a> to serving as companions to handling\u00a0assembly line work<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We should hear much more about what to expect from Nvidia at its\u00a0GTC conference in March<\/a>. It will likely have more to say about its AI-focused\u00a0Rubin chip<\/a>, and may also be ready to take the plunge into\u00a0laptop chip<\/a> territory.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"During Nvidia’s\u00a0quarterly earnings call\u00a0on Wednesday, CEO Jensen Huang said that agentic AI has reached “an inflection point” and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":304404,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[365,363,364,111,139,69,145],"class_list":{"0":"post-304403","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-artificialintelligence","11":"tag-new-zealand","12":"tag-newzealand","13":"tag-nz","14":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304403","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=304403"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304403\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/304404"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=304403"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=304403"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=304403"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
