NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang at Microsoft Ignite 2023 – 20 November
“Generative AI is the single most significant platform transition in computing history.…In the last 40 years, nothing has been this big. It’s bigger than PC, it’s bigger than mobile, and it’s gonna be bigger than the internet, by far.”
I’m so happy to be here to celebrate the
amazing work of our two teams this last
12 months you when I was just listening
to you unbelievable amount of progress
for the whole computer industry frankly
in the last 12 months well our two teams
have been super busy uh Ai and
accelerated Computing is a full stack
Challenge and it’s a data center scale
Challenge from Computing to networking
from chips to apis every everything has
been transformed as a result of
generative AI now over the last 12
months we’ve been our two teams have
been accelerating everything we could
now one of the initiatives of course is
accelerated Computing offloading general
purpose Computing accelerating all the
software we can because it improves
Energy Efficiency reduces carbon
footprint reduces cost for our customers
improv their performance so on so forth
we build the world’s fastest AI super
computer together yep it usually takes a
couple of two three years to plan one
easily a year to stand one up our two
teams built two of them twins one in
your house one in my house we did it and
we stood it up in just a few months it
is now the fastest AI supercomputer in
the
world and it seem seemingly without
barely even trying it’s the third
fastest supercomputer on the planet it’s
really quite quite amazing uh we worked
on all kinds of computer breakthroughs
uh Computing breakthroughs confidential
Computing of course a very big deal an
invention between our two companies uh
all the way to uh deploying large
language models uh from the cloud to the
PC yeah the work that we did together so
that Windows could now be a first class
client for large language models opens
up a few hundred in viia powered PCS and
workstations around the world the
largest install base on the edge of very
powerful AI machines happens to be
Windows PCS with you know gpus from
that’s right that’s right and now with
Studio AI That’s Right unbelievable
right everybody could be a rag developer
everybody could engage large language
models now we’ve we’ve also and this is
something that that that I’m so proud of
uh we talked about a year and a half ago
and and this is such a great idea such a
great vision and you really you really
deserve so much credit for transforming
Microsoft’s uh entire culture to be so
much more collaborative and partner
oriented that nvidia’s platforms and you
invited nvidia’s ecosystem all of our
software Stacks to be hosted on Azure
today we’re announcing the two largest
software stacks of our company NVIDIA
Omniverse and in fact just now you saw
the wpp uh video uh in fact that’s
actually computer Graphics uh that
computer Graphics is running on
Omniverse and now you can connect
Omniverse to generative AI uh the second
uh and and so Omniverse is for
industrial digitalization uh today we’re
announcing that Omniverse Cloud
Omniverse which is a stack originally on
Prem on large computers now available on
Azure Cloud the second is a brand new
thing that we’re we’re announcing and
you just mentioned it we are offering an
AI Foundry Service uh generative AI has
opened up the opportunity for every
Enterprise in the world to engage uh
artificial intelligence for the very
first time it is now
useful versatile uh quite frankly easy
to use Y and companies all over the
world will use it in multiple ways but
here’s three basic ways one of course
public Cloud uh services like Chad GPT
uh second embedded into applications
like Windows uh we are uh very very
happily uh also a full sight licensed
customer of uh co-pilot yeah and so we
are going to be augmented by Microsoft
co-pilots and uh if you think that
Nvidia is moving fast now you know we we
are going to be turbocharged by co-pilot
and then third of course uh customers
want to build their own AIS their own
they want to create their own using
their own data create their own
proprietary large language models and
create their own rags and so today
leveraging what Nvidia core assets are
our AI
expertise our AI endtoend workflow
Nvidia AI Enterprise and uh our AI
factories which is now available on
Azure called djx Cloud uh we are going
to make these built on these three
pillars help customers build their own
custom large language models we are
going to do for uh people who want to
build their own proprietary large
language models uh what tsmc does for us
yeah it’s fantastic right and so we’ll
be a Foundry for a yeah know it’s just
so amazing to see I mean us partnering
on everything on the system side and
everything up up the stack on the
software side whether it’s on Omniverse
or djx cloud and this AI Foundry is
fantastic I love that metaphor of tsmc
uh for AI uh model development you know
talking about this Arc of AI Jens and of
course you’ve been you know at the core
of this um long before it became like
fashionable to talk about it you were
talking about it what’s your Arc here of
AI Innovation going
forward well generative AI is the single
most
significant platform transition in
Computing history you and I both been in
the computer industry a long time in the
last 40 years nothing has been this big
it’s bigger than PC it’s bigger than
mobile it’s going to be bigger than
internet and surely by far uh this is
also the largest Tam expansion of the
computer in industry in history uh
there’s a whole new type of data center
that’s now available unlike the data
centers of the past this data center is
dedicated to one job and one job only
running AI models and generating
intelligence it’s an AI Factory this AI
Factory You’re Building you know some of
the world’s most advanced you’re
building the world’s computer that
computer is now going to be augmented by
a factories all over the second Tam
expansion is uh where our industry has
focused on building tools of the past
now you have co-pilots that use the
tools so in Hardware there’s a brand new
segment AI factories in software there’s
a brand new segment co-pilots copilot
yeah these are brand new things that the
world’s never had the opportunity to
enjoy big huge Tam expansion um the
first wave is the first the the wave
that we enjoyed which is uh incredible
startups at open Ai and others uh who
create who are part of the generative AI
startups uh Cloud internet services
that’s the first wave we’re now
beginning the second wave and is really
triggered and kicked off by co-pilot
office uh or Windows 365 co-pilot
basically the Enterprise
generation the third generation the
third wave is the wave that that I think
is going to be um the largest wave of
all and the reason for that is because
the vast majority of the world’s
Industries run on it which is heavy
Industries and this is where nvidia’s
Omniverse and generative AI is going to
come together to help heavy Industries
digitalize and benefit from from
generative AI so we’re really quite
frankly barely in the middle of the
first wave starting the second wave this
is yeah this is going to be I love that
three waves and all happening somewhat
in parallel but there staging of it and
I think it Cru it compounds across all
three uh maybe we can close out Jensen
you you and I have worked together for
decades Microsoft and Nvidia have worked
together for decades you know
Partnerships are these magical things
where your Innovation our Innovation
comes together ultimately to enable uh
people in the audience so just talk
about like what do you when you think
about the Microsoft partnership what’s
your vision for it what’s your
expectations of it and just any thoughts
on that well we have a giant partnership
and many of you are are partners with
Microsoft here and and uh I think you
all you all all agree with me that uh
there’s a there’s just a a profound
transformation um in the way that
Microsoft uh works with the ecosystem in
the industry we uh we are suppliers to
you uh building the most advanced
computers together uh you’re suppliers
to us and uh and so we’re customer
partners with each other but one of the
things that I really really love is the
fact that we uh partner on advancing
fundamental computer science like
confidential Computing and generative Ai
and um all of the infrastructure that we
built together um I love that uh we’re
inventing uh uh new technologies
together but I really love that you’re
hosting our native stack y right there
in Azure and as a result we’re ecosystem
Partners Nvidia has a rich ecosystem of
developers all over the world
several million Cuda developers some
15,000 startups around the world works
on nvidia’s platform the fact that they
could now take their stack and without
modification run it perfectly on Azure U
my developers become your customers my
developers also had the benefit of
integrating with all of the Azure apis
and services and um the the Secure
Storage the confidential Computing and
so all of that richness amplifies
nvidia’s ecosystem system and so I think
this this partnership is really quite
unique I I think that there’s not not
one like it we don’t have one like it uh
we’re uh incredibly proud of the
partnership and Incredibly proud of the
work that we do together and you know so
I thank you so much Jensen I really
deeply appreciate everything that you
and your team have been doing as you
said the last 12 months have been unlike
anything I’ve seen in my professional
career and we’re obviously setting pace
and we plan to continue to do so thank
you so much for your deep partnership
thank you J
yeah
