Jensen Huang just dropped a $1 trillion bombshell at GTC, but is the AI industry ready for NVIDIA’s massive pivot from model training to real-world inference?

In this episode of Utilizing AI, Stephen Foskett, Olivier Blanchard, and Guy Currier break down the monumental announcements from GTC, specifically focusing on the new Vera Rubin architecture.

They discuss why NVIDIA is splitting its strategy between Blackwell (training) and Vera (inference), the rise of "Agentic AI," and how "frenemies" like AMD, Intel, and ARM are positioning themselves to push NVIDIA off the mountain.

From ARM-based CPU advantages to AWS’s massive Cerebras partnership, we analyze whether NVIDIA’s dominance is set in stone or if the inference economy is truly up for grabs.
