Overview
- A Greenpeace-backed protest interrupted Jensen Huang’s opening keynote at Nvidia’s GTC Berlin when a demonstrator confronted him about Nvidia chips found in Russian drones.
- Huang resumed the presentation, unveiled the DSX POD and OpenShell products, and ran a Microduck robot demo that had visible hiccups when one robot kept walking and another tripped.
- Reporting and investigations identified Jetson Orin modules in recovered Russian drones, and Nvidia confirmed the modules photographed in wreckage were Jetson Orin minicomputers.
- Nvidia says Jetson Orin is a consumer-grade product sold to students, developers and startups, that the parts are not marketed to Russia and that pre-owned units can circulate through reseller channels, and the company says it will act if it finds export-control violations.
- Greenpeace issued a public call for Nvidia to extend its 100 percent renewable-energy target across suppliers and to conduct audits to ensure its technology does not end up used in military equipment, increasing pressure on regulators and corporate customers to demand tighter oversight.
