We hosted the LARGEST NVIDIA GTC 2025 side event this Tuesday at Plug and Play Tech Center

—and it was electric. ⚡ 1800+ RSVPs, 800 attendees.

We brought together a powerhouse of founders, researchers, and C-suites to talk AGI, agentic workflows, orchestration, robotics, and the silicon shaping it all.

🔥 Top takeaways from the stage:

🧠 Jonathan Siddharth (Turing): AGI isn’t a finish line—it’s a curve. Some domains may hit it in months. Others will take years.

💡Howie Xu (Gen): We’re entering the Citizen Programmer era—3B people building with AI, no CS degree required.

💥Roman Chernin (Nebius): Even with low-cost, efficient models like DeepSeek gaining traction, the reality is: compute demand is still exploding. Inference at the AGI scale will need entirely new infra thinking—GPU scarcity, latency, and customization won’t solve themselves.

🧠Erik Norden (Zyphra): Orchestration is the next moat. In a multi-agent world, startups must master coordination, compliance, and compute routing—no single model will win alone.

🤖Lindon Gao (Stealth Robotics, Caper): We don’t need robot demos. We need robots with ROI. Expect breakthroughs in logistics and fulfillment before humanoids hit your home.

🔌 Ning Ge, Ph.D., MBA (TetraMem - Accelerate The World): In-Memory Computing is no longer optional—it’s the backbone of low-latency, low-power edge AI.

🙏 Huge thanks to our speakers, our venue host Plug and Play Tech Center and our partners Hat-Trick Capital, Alibaba Group Global Initiatives, and OpenClassrooms for making this the largest and most impactful GTC side event.
