CES 2026<\/a>\u00a0is in full swing in Las Vegas, with the show floor open to the public after a packed couple of days\u00a0occupied by\u00a0press conferences from the likes of Nvidia, Sony, and AMD\u00a0and previews from Sunday\u2019s Unveiled event.\u00a0<\/p>\n As has been the case for the past two years at CES, AI is at the forefront of many companies\u2019 messaging, though the hardware\u00a0upgrades and oddities that have long defined the annual event still have their place on the show floor and in adjacent announcements. We\u2019ll\u00a0be collecting the biggest reveals and surprises here, though you can still catch\u00a0the spur-of-the-moment reactions and thoughts from our team on the ground\u00a0via our live blog right here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Let\u2019s\u00a0dive right in, starting with some of Monday\u2019s biggest players.\u00a0<\/p>\n Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang delivered an expectedly lengthy presentation at CES, taking a victory lap for the company\u2019s AI-driven successes,\u00a0setting the stage for 2026, and yes,\u00a0hanging out with some robots<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Rubin computing\u00a0architecture, which has been developed to meet the increasing computation demands that AI adoption creates, is\u00a0set to begin replacing Blackwell architecture in the second half of this year. It comes with speed and storage upgrades, but our\u00a0senior AI\u00a0editor\u00a0Russell Brandom goes into the nitty-gritty of what distinguishes Rubin<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n And Nvidia continued its push to bring the AI revolution into the physical world,\u00a0showcasing its <\/a>Alpamayo<\/a> family of open source AI models<\/a>\u00a0and tools that will be used by autonomous vehicles this year.\u00a0That approach, as senior reporter Rebecca Bellan notes, mirrors the company\u2019s broader efforts to make its infrastructure the Android for generalist robots<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n \nNvidia reveals AI model for autonomous vehicles, showcases Rubin architecture<\/h2>\n
