GTC Berlin 2026 sees NVIDIA launching pod-based data centers with companies that deploy them to military conflict zones, a focus on computers for "agents," and separate news about GPU smuggling. We used to cover gaming technology, emergent scientific computing technology, and advancements in computer graphics for video games. In this one, we talk about NVIDIA's move toward becoming something that we think starts to look like a defense contractor, its shift in focus to being an "infrastructure company" (per Jensen Huang himself), and allegations of using GPU allocation as leverage.
