NVIDIA at Hot Chips 2026
This year, NVIDIA joins Hot Chips 2026 at Stanford University to showcase how the NVIDIA Accelerated Computing platform is reimagining the data center for the age of AI. Featuring next-generation AI infrastructure—the NVIDIA Vera CPU, NVIDIA Rubin GPU, NVLink™ Switch, and LPU architecture, paired with Spectrum-X™ Ethernet networking and BlueField™-4 DPUs—and a rich software stack, it's built to take on the modern AI factories' toughest challenges.

Keynote Address by Gilad Shainer at Hot Interconnects 2026
Don’t miss NVIDIA SVP of Networking Gilad Shainer on the keynote stage at Hot Interconnects 2026. In “Networking Innovations for Gigascale AI Systems,” we’ll explore how the network has become the defining architecture of gigascale AI as infrastructure scales to hundreds of thousands, and soon millions, of interconnected GPUs. Expect a deep dive into the innovations enabling gigascale infrastructure to train massive foundation models, power real-time inference pipelines, and interconnect federated AI factories globally.
