Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang wants to run the company for another 30-40 years, and then become a robot and continue to hold this post
Nvidia co-founder and CEO Jensen Huang has no plans to retire. At least another 30-40 years.
In an interview during the GTC 2023 event, the head of Nvidia was asked about the fact that he is already the oldest CEO among technology companies, and whether he is going to leave his post in this regard. Judging by the answer, it is definitely not going to.
Well, as you can see, cheerful, full of enthusiasm and energy. I am surrounded by wonderful people who inspire me and I realized that we can do great things together and they give me great confidence in what we can do and what impact we can have. I think I’m making a real difference to the company by creating an environment where we can make some really amazing contributions. So I think that as long as I believe I can do it, I don’t know exactly how long it will last, but I would say three to four decades. I’ll be a robot for another four decades, and maybe three or four more decades after that. Hope I enjoy it for a very long time
So the head of Nvidia, if his desires and plans are realized, will continue to be the head of the company for a very long time. It should be noted that Huang is now 60 years old.

Nvidia introduced the NIM software platform for rapid deployment of AI models
At GTC, Nvidia announced a new software platform, Nvidia NIM, designed to streamline the deployment of custom and pre-trained AI models in production environments.
As a rule, it takes developers weeks or even months to develop such containers, Nvidia says, and this is provided that the company has a staff of artificial intelligence specialists. With NIM, Nvidia aims to create an ecosystem of ready-to-use containers that use its hardware as the base layer and curated microservices as the core software layer for companies that want to accelerate their AI efforts.
NIM currently includes support for NVIDIA, A121, Adept, Cohere, Getty Images and Shutterstock models, as well as open Google, Hugging Face, Meta, Microsoft, Mistral AI and Stability AI models. Nvidia is already working with Amazon, Google and Microsoft to make NIM microservices available in SageMaker, Kubernetes Engine and Azure AI. They will also be integrated into platforms such as Deepset, LangChain and LlamaIndex.
“We believe that Nvidia GPU is the best place for models and that NVIDIA NIM is the best software package, the best development environment so that authors can focus on developing enterprise applications. Just let Nvidia do the job of building these models in the most efficient way possible,” Manuvir Das, head of enterprise computing at Nvidia, said during the press conference.
Nvidia will use Triton, TensorRT and TensorRT-LLM servers. Some of the Nvidia microservices available through NIM will include Riva for tuning speech models and translators, cuOpt for routing optimization, and Earth-2 model for weather and climate modeling.
The company plans to add additional capabilities over time, including, for example, making the Nvidia RAG LLM operator, which promises to make it much easier to create generative chatbots that can use user data.

China is preparing to launch a relay satellite for the Chang'e-6 lunar mission
According to information from the National Space Administration of China, a relay satellite for the upcoming Chang'e 6 lunar mission and other lunar exploration programs is scheduled to launch soon. The combination of the Queqiao 2 relay satellite and the Long March 8 launch vehicle was delivered to the launch tower of the Wenchang Satellite Launch Center in Hainan province on Sunday morning.
The satellite and rocket were delivered in February to the Wenchang center, where they were inspected and assembled. The rocket will still undergo final checks before being loaded with fuel, the National Space Administration said.
Queqiao 1's predecessor, Queqiao 2, was launched into orbit by a Long March 4C rocket from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan Province in May 2018. It currently serves as the relay platform for the Chang'e 4 lunar mission.
Chang'e 4 landed in the South Pole-Aitken Basin on the far side of the Moon in January 2019, becoming the first spacecraft to operate in that hemisphere.
If everything goes according to plan, the Chang'e-6 probe will become the second spacecraft to reach the far side of the Moon. Its mission involves delivering samples from the far side of the Moon—a complex and never-before-implemented task.
To ensure communication between the Chang'e 4 and Chang'e 6 spacecraft with the Earth, relay satellites are required due to their special location. Transmitting these signals is the main task of Queqiao 1 and Queqiao 2.
Space technology expert Pan Zhihao, who worked for many years at the China Academy of Space Technology, said the fact that Queqiao 2 was transported by the Long March 8 rocket indicates that the relay satellite is larger and heavier than its predecessor.
“Queqiao 2 has been designed with more features and a longer service life in mind. “It will be the key to China's next few lunar missions,” he said.
Chang'e 6 will consist of four components – the orbiter, the lander, the ascent device and the lander. In addition to sample collection instruments, the module will carry scientific instruments from Pakistan, France, Italy and the European Space Agency, mission organizers said.
