Nvidia unveils Rubin AI platform and new open models at CES 2026

Nvidia has unveiled its new AI platform Rubin and a suite of open models, as it continues to drive AI adoption across industries.

On Monday in Las Vegas, founder and chief executive Jensen Huang presented the Rubin AI architecture – the successor to Nvidia Blackwell – alongside open models for healthcare, robotics and autonomy, and a Mercedes‑Benz CLA demo of AI‑defined driving.

Taking the stage at the Fontainebleau, Huang said AI is expanding into every industry and device.

“Computing has been fundamentally reshaped as a result of accelerated computing, as a result of artificial intelligence,” Huang said. “What that means is some $10 trillion or so of the last decade of computing is now being modernised to this new way of doing computing.”

Huang said Rubin – Nvidia’s first extreme‑codesigned six‑chip AI platform – is now in full production and aims to “push AI to a new frontier” by reducing the cost of token generation to around one‑tenth of the prior platform.

He argued that extreme codesign – developing chips, trays, racks, networking, storage and software together – is now essential. “Scaling AI to gigascale requires tightly integrated innovation across chips, trays, racks, networking, storage and software to eliminate bottlenecks and dramatically reduce the costs of training and inference,” he said.

Nvidia also launched a portfolio of open models trained on its own supercomputers across six domains: Clara for healthcare; Earth‑2 for climate science; Nemotron for reasoning and multimodal AI; Cosmos for robotics and simulation; GR00T for embodied intelligence; and Alpamayo for autonomous driving.

“These models are open to the world,” Huang said. “You can create the model, evaluate it, guardrail it and deploy it.”

Huang cited companies including Palantir, ServiceNow, Snowflake, CodeRabbit, CrowdStrike, NetApp and Symantec that have already integrated Nvidia AI into their products.

“Whether it’s Palantir or ServiceNow or Snowflake – and many other companies that we’re working with – the agentic system is the interface,” he said.
