CES 2026 highlights: Nvidia’s Vera Rubin AI chips and humanoid robots push tech into the real world

CES 2026 highlights: Nvidia’s Vera Rubin AI chips and humanoid robots push tech into the real world

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said at CES 2026 that the company’s next-generation Vera Rubin chips are in “full production,” aiming for a five-fold jump in artificial-intelligence computing for chatbots and other applications. He said a flagship server would pack 72 graphics processing units and 36 central processors, and generate “tokens” — the chunks of text AI models process — about 10 times more efficiently. “Only in that way can you truly trust how the models came to be,” Huang said, describing plans to release training data tied to Nvidia’s Alpamayo self-driving software.

Nvidia rolls out Rubin chips and Alpamayo AI models for autonomous vehicles — what it just announced at CES

Nvidia said its next-generation Vera Rubin chips are in full production and introduced Alpamayo, software it says can help self-driving cars pick a path and leave a paper trail for engineers, as CEO Jensen Huang opened the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. “Not only do we open-source the models, we also open-source the data that we use to train those models,” Huang said. Nvidia is facing rising pressure in AI chips from Advanced Micro Devices and from customers such as Alphabet’s Google, which designs some of its own silicon. Reuters

Oil stocks, USO ETF slide in premarket as Trump Venezuela crude plan stirs supply fears

U.S. oil stocks and oil-linked exchange-traded funds slipped in premarket trading on Wednesday as crude prices fell after President Donald Trump said the United States struck a deal to import up to $2 billion worth of Venezuelan crude. Brent futures were at $60.59 a barrel and U.S. West Texas Intermediate at $56.86 by 1104 GMT. “Market participants seem to believe now that those volumes could be smaller,” UBS analyst Giovanni Staunovo wrote, though Morgan Stanley has flagged a possible surplus of up to 3 million barrels per day in early 2026.

S&P 500 2026 Forecast: 7,490 Target Meets a Data Test as Earnings Season Nears

S&P 500 2026 Forecast: 7,490 Target Meets a Data Test as Earnings Season Nears

Strategists polled by Reuters see the S&P 500 at 7,490 by end-2026, implying gains of just over 9% from end-2025 as investors weigh Fed succession, election risk and the durability of the AI boom. A slim majority—56%—also forecast a market correction in the coming months. “The most under-appreciated tail risk for 2026 is that the Fed eases monetary policy more than economic conditions justify, inadvertently reigniting inflation,” said Lale Akoner, a global market strategist at eToro.

Venezuela oil deal puts Chevron, Valero and PBF in focus before the U.S. open

Chevron fell 4.4% in premarket trading after President Donald Trump said the United States had reached a deal to import up to $2 billion of Venezuelan crude — roughly 30 million to 50 million barrels — to be sold at market prices. Valero, Marathon Petroleum, Phillips 66 and PBF Energy were down between 1.2% and 7.7%, while Canadian Natural Resources and Cenovus slipped about 2% and Baker Hughes rose 0.6%. Chevron controls Venezuelan oil flows to the United States under a U.S. authorization and has been exporting 100,000 to 150,000 barrels per day, while traders said the prospect of added supply pushed some U.S. Gulf heavy-crude differentials — the price gap to benchmark grades — about 50 cents lower on Tuesday.
