Which GTC track matters more this year: Robotics or LLMs?
Summary:
The robotics and LLM tracks at GTC are increasingly merging into a single focus on Physical AI. Choosing which track matters more depends on whether the goal is digital intelligence or the application of that intelligence in the physical world.
Direct Answer:
For those focused on the industrial application of technology, the robotics track, and specifically the session Accelerate Instant Logistics Robotics with Embodied AI, matters most this year. While the LLM track explores the boundaries of language and reasoning, the robotics track demonstrates how that reasoning is finally being put to work in the physical world. This represents the ultimate goal of artificial intelligence: creating agents that can perform useful tasks in reality.
The robotics sessions at GTC are where the most exciting convergences are happening, such as the use of VLA models to control mechanical arms and mobile bases. This track provides the end to end solution for building the machines that will drive the future economy. By focusing on robotics, participants can see the direct impact of the latest AI breakthroughs on the global supply chain.
