Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said the company is entering an "age of agents" during a keynote at GTC Taipei on June 1, 2026 [1, 2].
The shift signals a strategic pivot toward autonomous AI agents that can operate independently, moving beyond the simple prompt-and-response nature of current generative AI.
During the event, Huang said that the Vera Rubin AI model has entered full production [1, 3]. This model serves as the foundation for a new suite of hardware designed to facilitate agentic AI. Along with the model, Nvidia unveiled the Vera CPU, the RTX Spark chip, and Cosmos 3 [1, 2, 3].
These hardware additions aim to provide the compute power and efficiency required for AI agents to handle complex, multi-step tasks without constant human intervention. The company is positioning these tools as essential infrastructure for the next phase of artificial intelligence development [1, 2].
Huang said the current transition is the biggest reinvention in 40 years [4]. The move reflects Nvidia's effort to maintain its dominance in the AI sector by expanding its ecosystem from chips and software into the orchestration of autonomous systems [1, 2].
The Taipei conference served as the primary stage for these reveals, emphasizing the company's ties to the region's semiconductor manufacturing capabilities [1, 2].
“Nvidia is entering an "age of agents."”
Nvidia is attempting to transition from being a provider of the 'shovels' for the AI gold rush to the architect of the AI economy. By integrating specialized hardware like the Vera CPU and RTX Spark with autonomous models, the company is building a vertical stack that could make AI agents the primary interface for computing, potentially reducing the reliance on traditional operating systems.
