Asks about timeline for Siemens scaling its industrial AI operating system globally and real-world implementation.
speaker1
speaker2
Technology is already working with examples like digital twins and AI on shop floors. Scaling requires making deployment easier for customers.
Asks Jensen Huang about timeline and first steps in the Nvidia-Siemens partnership, focusing on software integration into EDA.
speaker1
speaker3
Announcing major partnership: accelerating Siemens' EDA and simulation software, integrating physical AI and agentic AI into Siemens' systems. Technology will be used in Nvidia's AI factories and with partners like Foxconn.
Asks about net effect on margins and capital allocation, and how AI investment changes real-world outcomes.
speaker1
speaker3
Vera Rubin GPU is 10x more energy and cost efficient. Accelerating EDA/simulation tools and using digital twins enables creating more complex systems efficiently, doing the impossible right the first time.
speaker2
AI creates real-world economic impact, not just in data centers but also at the edge with low-latency inference, creating huge potential for customers.
Asks how AI manifests in real world - if demand is for fully automated, autonomous factories.
speaker1
speaker2
Factories face labor shortages, especially unskilled labor. Automation leads to higher yields and energy efficiency. US manufacturing ramp-up needs to be digital and AI-supercharged.
speaker3
Factories are robotic systems orchestrating robots. Hard to deploy robots due to programming complexity. AI makes them easier to teach - showing demonstrations allows AI to learn by itself.
Asks about energy/power as bottleneck for both companies.
speaker1
speaker3
Every industrial revolution is energy constrained. From Hopper to Blackwell to Rubin, improved energy efficiency by 10x each generation, directly improving customer revenues within power constraints.
speaker2
Energy demand scales with GDP growth but decoupling due to efficiency. Data centers demand high-quality energy, creating bottlenecks across supply chain from generation to transformers.
Asks about memory bottleneck severity.
speaker1
speaker3
Memory bottleneck is severe but Nvidia works with all three HBM suppliers and has long-term relationships with plans in place.
Asks about Chinese government attitude toward allowing H200 into China.
speaker1
speaker3
Haven't spoken directly to Chinese government. Communication is through companies - if companies are allowed to buy, there will be strong demand, which is already being seen.
Asks if Siemens might pursue M&A for software competencies not covered by Nvidia partnership.
speaker1
speaker2
Siemens invested nearly $30B in software competence. Can build comprehensive physics-based digital twins but needs operations software for specific industries like life sciences.
Asks to clarify if Groq deal is acquisition or licensing.
speaker1
speaker3
Hired Groq engineers and licensed their technology. Groq architecture focused on low-latency token generation and inference. Excited about inventing new segment together for future use cases.
Asks about data centers in space and discussions with Elon Musk/SpaceX.
speaker1
speaker3
Can't discuss specific conversations. Space has abundant energy and cooling. System design would be radically different but chips would be same.
speaker2
Manufacturing in space challenging to bring physical goods to Earth, but tokens/intelligence can be transferred easily - that's where to start in space.
Asks about Elon Musk's response to Nvidia's autonomous driving keynote and difference between approaches.
speaker1
speaker3
Tesla has most advanced AV stack and operations. Nvidia's approach also vision-based with addition of radar and lidar. Similar approaches overall. Tesla doing great job.
Asks about impact of California billionaire tax on talent pool and Silicon Valley.
speaker1
speaker3
Works in Silicon Valley for talent pool. Has offices worldwide. Fine with whatever taxes apply - never crossed mind as concern.
