NVIDIA Makes Waves at CES 2025 with Major AI Agent Announcements
NVIDIA dominated headlines on the first day of Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2025 with a series of groundbreaking AI agent announcements. The company unveiled enhancements to its NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform, which is used by many of the world's leading independent software vendors (ISVs) to build their AI agent offerings.
First, NVIDIA introduced NVIDIA Blueprints, a set of referenceable workflows that developers can use to create and operationalise custom AI applications. These blueprints will enable the development of AI agents capable of analysing data, distilling insights, reasoning, and ability to process multiple data formats like documents, images, and videos.
NVIDIA also announced a new AI agent orchestration layer to coordinate and manage multiple AI agents working across an enterprise. This layer ensures that all agents work together effectively, regardless of which partner developed the blueprint behind the AI application.
The string of announcements was punctuated by a revelation that there will be family of open large language models (LLMs) called Llama Nemotron, built in collaboration with Meta. These LLMs will serve as a robust backbone for AI agents, enabling vendors to optimise them for various applications, including customer support, fraud detection, supply chain management, and inventory management.
SK Telecom, a leading South Korean telecommunications company, also announced its global AI agent, 'Aster', at CES2025. Unlike Amazon's Alexa or Apple's Siri, Aster is designed to go beyond simply answering questions; it focuses on actionable tasks like reviewing, booking, and paying for appointments, and it can even serve as an advisor based on personal preferences and habits.
Google Releases New White Paper on Generative AI Agents
As generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Google Gemini become household names, Google published a white paper that explores the machinations for generative AI agents' next evolution.
Generative AI agents are applications designed to achieve specific goals by observing their environment and acting upon it using available tools. They extend the capabilities of language models through a cognitive framework that facilitates advanced structural reasoning, planning, and decision-making in AI agents. The whitepaper also highlights the significance of integrating tools that enable agents to interact with the external world, such as Extensions and Functions for tasks like booking flights or accessing databases.
For agents to gain access to dynamic, real-time information and furnish accurate results for users, an orchestration layer and Data Stores have to be in place.
Such new breakthroughs have spurred talks of sophisticated AI agents running an autonomous workforce in the future, a sentiment echoed by OpenAI's Sam Altman. As the technology continues to mature, questions around human-AI collaboration, job displacement, and AI ethics will have to be adequately addressed.
The Latest By-Product of AI and Blockchain: An Immortal Artist?
Seeing AI washing over Web3 corners like DeFi and gaming is common. Now, it seems to be seeping into the art world. Botto, an innovative project merging AI and blockchain technology, uses AI to create artwork, which is then evaluated and sold through a decentralised autonomous organisation (DAO).
The project's creator, Mario Klingemann, envisions Botto as a potentially immortal artist, constantly learning and evolving based on community feedback. This feedback loop is facilitated by the DAO, where users can stake tokens to vote on the AI-generated artwork. The most popular pieces are then auctioned off, with proceeds distributed among DAO members.
Botto's approach challenges traditional notions of artistic creation and ownership, raising questions about the future of art in the age of AI. By integrating AI and blockchain, Botto ensures transparency and community governance, allowing art enthusiasts to directly participate in the creative process.
However, this unique fusion of art, the AI blockchain integration may go against the value preservation of art, in which 'masterpieces' are produced with scarcity in mind, rather than on a regular basis.
Crypto Spotlight: Lightchain to Launch Testnet and Meme Coin Launchpad
The ever-evolving world of meme coins sees Lightchain, a Solana-based contender, readying its testnet launch for January 2024. Positioned as more than just another meme-driven cryptocurrency, Lightchain combines the playful charm of Web3 meme culture with cutting-edge blockchain innovation, promising a fresh take on community-driven tokens.
What’s catching industry buzz is Lightchain’s upcoming flagship feature: the Meme Coin Launchpad. It lets developers and creators — regardless of technical experience — to design and launch their own meme tokens with ease, as backed by Solana’s lightning-fast infrastructure. With an additional real-world utility in the bag, users can expect not just ultra-low fees, but also sustained value in the project.
Lightchain is shaping January up to be a pivotal month for the meme coin crowd to pump up the fun.
