Good morning, AI enthusiasts. One of AI’s greatest showmen just kicked off his own ‘AI Super Bowl’, with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang delivering a wide-ranging keynote on the chip leader’s latest and greatest.

With Huang's dramatic reveals of new AI chips, personal supercomputers, Star Wars-style robots, and a fleet of autonomous vehicles, the company’s explosive growth may be just getting started.

P.S. Our next workshop is TODAY at 4 PM EST — come learn how to apply AI to enhance advertising and creative production workflows with Kling AI! RSVP here.

In today’s AI rundown:

  • Nvidia’s AI and robotics advances

  • Adobe’s army of enterprise AI agents

  • Expand Claude's abilities using MCPs

  • Anthropic testing new voice features

  • 4 new AI tools & 4 job opportunities

The Rundown: “AI Jesus” Jensen Huang kicked off Nvidia’s GTC 2025 conference with a two-hour-long keynote, calling the event “AI’s Super Bowl” and revealing exciting new updates on upcoming chip releases, robotics, autonomous vehicles, and more.

The details:

  • Nvidia’s new GPU lineup includes Blackwell Ultra in late 2025, Vera Rubin in 2026, and Feynman in 2028, each promising major performance gains.

  • Huang said that scaling is not slowing down, and the computation needed for AI is “easily 100x more than we thought we needed at this time last year.”

  • He also revealed Isaac GR00T N1, the first open humanoid robot foundation model, alongside a comprehensive physical AI dataset for training robots.

  • The new DGX Spark and DGX Station bring data center-grade AI computing to personal workstations, with Huang calling it “the computer for the age of AI.”

  • A robotics physics engine, Newton, also debuted in collaboration with Google DeepMind and Disney — demoed with ‘Blue’, a Star Wars-style robot on stage.

  • Nvidia also announced a new partnership with automaker GM, with plans to build the company’s first fleet of self-driving cars.

Why it matters: Huang said that AI is currently at an ‘inflection point’ — and this sweeping set of announcements shows the sheer scale of Nvidia’s web of AI-powered infrastructure for nearly every industry and use case. If the chipmaking leader’s roadmap and releases are any indication, AI is not slowing down any time soon.

ADOBE

The Rundown: Adobe just released a comprehensive AI agent strategy centered around its new Experience Platform Agent Orchestrator, introducing ten specialized agents for enterprise tasks like customer experiences, marketing workflows, and more.

The details:

  • The platform includes agents for audience targeting, content production, site optimization, and B2B account management within Adobe's enterprise apps.

  • A Brand Concierge helps businesses create personalized chat experiences, with traffic from AI platforms to retail sites jumping 1,200% in February.

  • Adobe Marketing Agent also integrates with Microsoft 365 Copilot, allowing teams to access Adobe’s agentic capabilities directly within Microsoft apps.

  • The company has also partnered with tech firms like AWS, Microsoft, SAP, and ServiceNow, allowing its agents to work across third-party enterprise systems.

Why it matters: Adobe's latest play shows how AI agents could reshape enterprise workflows by orchestrating AI to work together on handling complex processes instead of just individual tasks. But with enterprise AI becoming increasingly crowded, Adobe will need to prove its agents can deliver more than just promises.

AI TRAINING

The Rundown: In this tutorial, you will learn how to use Claude's powerful MCP (Model Context Protocol) feature and connect the AI assistant to the Internet, giving it access to real-time information and up-to-date responses.

Step-by-step:

  1. Download and install the latest Claude desktop application.

  2. Visit the Brave Search API portal and register for a free API key (2,000 monthly requests free).

  3. Locate or create your Claude configuration file and add the Brave Search MCP server settings with your API key.

  4. Restart Claude, verify Brave Search appears in the developer settings, and test with questions about current events.

Pro tip: You can ask more specific questions to make the most of Claude's newly enhanced knowledge capabilities and get more reliable results.

ANTHROPIC

The Rundown: Anthropic is reportedly planning to launch a voice mode for its Claude platform, with a new report from The Financial Times also detailing a dedicated push towards enterprise and business users over consumer markets.

The details:

  • CPO Mike Krieger revealed the company is targeting users who "spend all day in meetings or in Excel or Google Docs" with features to streamline workflows.

  • A new launch in the coming months will analyze calendars and create detailed client reports from internal and external data, designed for meeting preparation.

  • Krieger also revealed that Anthropic already has prototypes of voice experiences ready for Claude, calling it a “useful modality to have.”

  • The company has reportedly explored partnerships with “a bunch of partners,” including Amazon and ElevenLabs, to accelerate the launch of voice for Claude.

Why it matters: Anthropic’s models have consistently been at the top of the industry ranks, but the startup has now set eyes on carving out a niche in the lucrative enterprise market instead of mass adoption — targeting a segment where companies are most willing to pay premium prices for productivity gains.
