Jensen Huang, born in 1963, is the founder and CEO of Nvidia, a company that currently has the second largest market capitalization in the world. During the keynote that anticipated the opening of Ces 2025, he announced the arrival of Agentic AI, software based on artificial intelligence capable of carrying out complex tasks by exploiting solutions based on different levels.
The wait is long. THE’Ultra Arena at Mandalay Bay it has 12,000 seats but the indications are to arrive at least an hour and a half earlier. These are the days when thatgiga hotel archipelago which is downtown Las Vegas fills up for the CESthe fair dedicated to electronics. An hour before the event the queue to enter the Ultra Arena is already longer than the one atairport to pass customs checks. Perhaps one of the most anticipated events of these days is being held inside: the CEO Jensen Huangborn in 1963, presents the new products of his Nvidia.
Now. Nvidia is a company that has passed under the hands of many. Literally. His sticker it is a constant under the keyboards of several computer brands. However, since his destiny first became intertwined with that of the cryptocurrencies and then to that of artificial intelligence (AI) this company made a leap that brought it into theOlympus of Big Tech. All, or almost all, thanks to GPUthe Graphic Processing Units, and its processors dedicated specifically to AI.
The recent prophecy was all in a podcast. In the episode released on December 15th of The Vergecast the conductor David Pierce he played a game. He pretended to return from a time travel destination of December 2025 and commented to the podcast guests about how he found the new world.

Among the prophecies there was also that Nvidia would become stable the company with the highest capitalization on the market. There has already been some overtaking but now there is very little left. According to the portal Companies Market Cup Nvidia currently has a market capitalization (the total market value of its shares) of 3,432 billion dollars. Above her there is only Apple with 3,661 billion dollars.
Conquering the stage like Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs’ presentations changed the world of technology. The separation between his is abysmal “One more thing” and the improvised dances for the launch of Windows 95. Many have tried to replicate it afterwards, sometimes with actually interesting products, other times without even remotely managing to achieve the wow effect.
Jensen Huang doesn’t have Steve Jobs’ understatement. And there is still no cult around him that led Apple fans to light candles in front of Apple Stores after his death. Nevertheless some similar vibration is felt in the room. Huang, founder and CEO, enters with a shiny jacket, jokes with the audience, transforms the model of a chip into a shield and solicits the assistants who do not follow the rhythm of his speech.
The audience sometimes follows him, cheers him, laughs and applauds. Other times the jokes fall a bit silent. Perhaps many are investors rather than fans. Nvidia shares have soared in recent years, first with a small tax in 2020 and then with a surge in 2022. All this has allowed Huang, who holds a good part of them, to become the 12th richest person in the world: estimated assets 127 billion dollars.
The future of technology: artificial intelligence agents
Returning to the presentation, Jensen Huang announced on stage several releases. There are the new generations of RTX 5090 graphics cards And RTX 5080a super PC dedicated to artificial intelligence that will be presented in May called Project Digits and the Cosmos artificial intelligence model, capable of digitally reproducing all the physical characteristics of an environment.
But perhaps the most interesting announcement, at least thinking about what it can open, is that of the artificial intelligence agents. Unlike generative artificial intelligence, these Agentic AIs, or artificial intelligence agents, are software capable of solving tasks that require multiple inputs.
To understand. While generative AI delivers a solution to a problem that we ask them, Agentic AIs are able to move on their own to address problems at multiple levels. An example? Come on Nvidia official documents customer support is mentioned: an Agentic AI dedicated to this service can resolve requests up to a certain limit, once the established boundaries have been exceeded the case is sent directly to a human operator.
