Overview
- Nvidia used CES to release what it calls the largest open multimodal data trove—spanning 10 trillion language tokens, 500,000 robot trajectories, 100TB of vehicle sensor data and 455,000 protein structures—alongside four open model lines for agents, physical AI, autonomous driving and biomedicine.
- CEO Jensen Huang said open-source models now trail frontier systems by roughly six months and emphasized opening both models and the datasets used to build them.
- Qualcomm unveiled its Dragonwing IQ10 robot processors for AMRs and full‑size humanoids, featuring an 18‑core Oryon CPU, support for up to 20 cameras and peak AI performance up to 700 TOPS, and highlighted expanding Snapdragon Digital Chassis adoption across more than 400 million vehicles.
- Huawei and GAC’s new brand Qijing confirmed two cars this year equipped with Huawei’s Qiankun intelligent driving and HarmonyOS cockpit, with joint teams in final-stage integration before product launch.
- Benchmark Mineral Intelligence forecast global EV sales growth slowing to about 13% in 2026 at roughly 24 million units, with a sharp U.S. decline, slower European growth and continued but cooler expansion in China, while Xiaomi leaders publicly rebutted out-of-context claims about range and braking tests.
