NVIDIA’s GTC 2025 Announcement for Physical AI Developers: New Open Models and Datasets

Nvidia releasing open models is a strategy to cement the GPU as the mandatory physical AI platform. This isn't about democratizing weights; it's about ensuring the deployment environment remains tethered to their specific hardware stack. Open models flood the market with noise; real physical AI success is found in efficient data pipelines, not just accessible weights. Vendors will always build the proprietary orchestration layer on top of the open foundation.
