Speaking at GTC Washington DC, Jensen detailed partnerships in 6G, supercomputers and autonomous vehicles, continuing to fuel NVIDIA’ s valuation surge. The firm’ s data centre business – which contributed 92 % to US GDP growth at the start of last year – relies on GPUs for LLMs, with partnerships including Nokia for 5G and Uber for AI logistics amplifying edge strategies. ​
