NVIDIA is all about changing the game. Literally! Last year, NVIDIAās head honcho Jensen Huang made it to the Timeās list of the worldās hundred most influential people. Last week, the bossman made headlines (as is his wont) after his keynote speech at the GTC 2022 broke the internet. This weekās newsletter is all about NVIDIAās flagship AI event.
The major announcements at GTC 2022 include NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPU-based Hopper architecture , AI models and libraries (Triton, Riva 2.0, NeMO Megatron 0.9 , Merlin 1.0, Maxine), Grace Superchips, new OGX Server for Omniverse, fast networking, new DGXServers and Pods, enterprise AI Software, next-generation Hyperion Drive and Omniverse Cloud.
Below, we have put together a highlight reel of Huangās almost-2 hours keynote speech (9 mins):
The week-long conference, from March 21-25, featured close to 900+ sessions focused on deep learning, Omniverse, data science, robotics, networking, and graphics. Leaders from organisations such as Flipkart, Amazon, Autodesk, Bloomberg, Cisco, DeepMind, Epic Games, Google Brain, Lockheed Martin, Microsoft, NASA, Pfizer, Sony, Stanford University, Disney, Zoom presented at the conference.

Will generative models replace the need for real-world datasets?
Generative models have the potential to produce photorealistic images that look similar to training data. So, do we still need datasets if we have good enough generative models? MIT researchers Ali Jahanian , Yonglong Tian , Xavier Puig , and Phillip Isola have investigated this question in the setting of learning general-purpose visual representations from a black-box generative model rather than directly from data.
