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.
