Crypto World News: On March 16th, local time, at NVIDIA GTC 2026, NVIDIA founder Jensen Huang shared the company’s overall vision for the future of the artificial intelligence industry: from next-generation AI computing architectures and data center business models for inference, to software ecosystems and industry alliances built around Agents. This year’s conference showcased not just hardware upgrades, but a complete AI infrastructure system centered on computing power. During his speech, Huang boldly made a prediction: by 2027, the market size for AI chips and infrastructure could reach $1 trillion.

In addition to technology, Huang also proposed a new narrative for the AI industry: “Data centers are factories producing tokens; inference is the workload, tokens are new commodities, and computing power equals revenue; in the future, every CEO will need to monitor the efficiency of their token factory.” He believes that AI is experiencing a new inflection point. From chatbots to reasoning-capable systems, and then to task-executing Agents, each capability leap significantly increases the computing power required for a single inference, while also driving rapid growth in overall usage.

Based on this trend, NVIDIA has introduced a new layered AI service model, from free to Ultra tiers, corresponding to different model sizes, context lengths, and response speeds, as well as different token prices. In this system, computing infrastructure directly determines the economic viability of AI services, and higher-end AI services require more powerful computing platforms. (AIPress)
