The models use synthetic training data, allowing users to input a text description to create video of a world that obeys physical laws, reducing costs compared to traditional methods. Nvidia also introduced new gaming chips using its "Blackwell" AI technology, which can produce movie-like graphics in games by adding imperfections and realistic features such as human faces. The company's automotive operating system will be used by Toyota Motor for advanced driver assistance systems across several models, with Nvidia expecting $5 billion in automotive hardware and software revenue in fiscal 2026.
