The most powerful man in the AI world at Alexanderplatz: Nvidia

He was announced to be at the Tempodrom only on Wednesday. On Friday evening, Jensen Huang was already at XPERION in Alexanderplatz – without an entry on the program. In front of the Saturn market, the first ones were there already at 5 p.m., one hour before Nvidia wanted to open the queue at all. There was waiting for laptops, for goodie bags, for a raffle. The CEO himself came. Green TV Tower, signed laptops In XPERION, one of the largest gaming areas in Germany, demonstrations lined up: AI agents, creative software, games with DLSS 5. AlexiBexi, FalcoPunch, and Alex Wätzel took the stage, developers from CD Projekt Red talked about the work on "The Witcher" and "Cyberpunk 2077". Five ASUS ProArt P14 went into the raffle, each signed by Huang. Outside, the TV tower glowed in Nvidia green. Artificial Intelligence for the Desk – from 2899 Euros With RTX Spark, Nvidia brings the technology from the data center to the laptop. A Blackwell graphics unit works with a Grace CPU and up to 128 gigabytes of shared memory, large AI models run locally, without the cloud. This is affordable for a few for now: The devices start at 2899 Euros and go up to 7999 Euros. Compact desktops will follow in November. He speaks at the Tempodrom on Wednesday The evening at Alex was the overture. From October 20 to 22, Nvidia brings its European developer conference GTC to STATION-Berlin, more than 10,000 participants are expected. Huang steps onto the stage of the Tempodrom at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, the stream is free. He will speak about sovereign AI, robotics, and industrial applications – alongside him on the list of speakers are Deutsche Telekom, Dassault Systèmes, and Mistral AI. That Huang does not begin his Berlin visit in the conference hall, but between gaming computers at Alexanderplatz, fits with the group's strategy: Artificial intelligence should no longer be sold only to data centers, but to anyone who can afford a laptop.
