  • NVIDIA Opens First R&D Center in Vietnam to Boost AI

    NVIDIA Opens First R&D Center in Vietnam to Boost AI

    The company is working with the Vietnamese government to establish the new Vietnam Research and Development Center, which will focus on AI. NVIDIA plans to use the center for software development, taking advantage of Vietnam’s talented STEM engineers, and collaborating with industry leaders, startups, government agencies, universities, and students to promote AI adoption.

    Jensen Huang, NVIDIA’s Founder and CEO, noted that the center will create platforms for NVIDIA and its partners to foster AI innovation, particularly in industries like healthcare, education, transportation, and finance. Vietnam’s economy is rapidly growing, especially in the manufacturing sector, making it one of the world’s fastest-growing economies.

    The country’s AI market is also expanding due to technological advancements, government support, and increased AI integration across industries. Since 2021, Vietnam has been focusing on AI development as part of its digital transformation strategy to drive innovation, build a strong AI ecosystem, and establish itself as a regional R&D leader.

    Vietnam’s Prime Minister, Pham Minh Chinh, emphasized the government’s commitment to innovation and AI technology development in partnership with NVIDIA. The goal is to create a bright future for the innovation ecosystem and high-tech industry in Southeast Asia.

    NVIDIA has been investing in Vietnam’s technology sector for the past eight years, collaborating with over 100 Vietnamese AI startups through its Inception program and partnering with 65 universities in the country. Last year, NVIDIA also started working with FPT Smart Cloud as its first Vietnamese cloud partner.

  • FPT and Nvidia to build $200M AI factory in Vietnam

    FPT and Nvidia to build $200M AI factory in Vietnam

    Vietnam IT giant FPT Corp will spend $200 million building an AI Factory that incorporates technology from U.S. chipmaker Nvidia.

    The factory, which will serve as a sovereign cloud, will not produce hardware but instead will focus on AI research and development using Nvidia’s latest technologies, including Nvidia AI Enterprise software and frameworks and Nvidia H100 Tensor Core Graphic Processing Units, FPT said in an press release Tuesday as its leaders sign the partnership with their Nvidia counterparts in Hanoi.

    The factory will create applications and solutions on generative AI (a type of AI that can create new content and ideas), autonomous driving and green transformation.

    “This empowers FPT to realize the vision of transforming Vietnam into an AI nation and accelerating the adoption of AI applications in Asia, including but not limited to Vietnam, Japan, and Korea.”

    FPT chairman Truong Gia Binh said that the company’s vision is to “turn Vietnam into an AI hub of the world.”

    Nvidia vice president of worldwide AI Initiative Keith Strier said: “By accelerating innovation in healthcare, agriculture, climate, manufacturing, and more, AI has the potential to improve lives and strengthen the economies of every nation.”

    “FPT is working with Nvidia to empower organizations across Vietnam to drive transformation, helping the country become an AI nation,” he added.

    FPT plans to incorporate Nvidia’s training content into university and high school curricula to develop high-tech human resources. The corporation wants to have at least 30,000 students in the program within five years.

    As part of the collaboration, FPT has joined the Nvidia Partner Network as a Service Delivery Partner and aims to become a Global Systems Integrator, leveraging the full potential of Nvidia’s cutting-edge products and technologies to develop bespoke cloud services, hardware, software, and most importantly, generative AI solutions.

    The two companies will develop cloud gamming in Vietnam through Nvidia’s service GeForce Now.

    Strier on Monday had a meeting with the Minister of Planning and Investment, Nguyen Chi Dung, which reinforced the efforts in building and developing Vietnam’s semiconductor and AI ecosystem.

    A source said that Nvidia’s purpose for this visit to Vietnam is to work with parties to establish a research, development, and training center for AI, install supercomputers, and possibly relocate a portion of graphic processing units production for supercomputers to Vietnam.

    Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang in December last year visited Japan, Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam to look for potential partners. He emphasized that Asia is the new global tech hub and wants to expand his company’s presence here.

  • Nvidia chief visits China for first time in years

    Nvidia chief visits China for first time in years

    Jensen Huang, President and CEO of California-based artificial intelligence chip designer Nvidia, recently visited China for the first time in years, to attend the company’s new year party with local employees.

    Last week, Huang traveled to Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen in Guangdong province in a low-key manner, according to a report by China Daily, which cited sources with knowledge of the matter.

    Social media videos captured Huang dressed in a traditional outfit, dancing at Nvidia’s new year party in Shanghai.

    Huang’s trip did not include meetings with government officials, as it was primarily focused on spending time with Nvidia’s employees in China, Yicai Global reported.

    Major Chinese cloud companies are favoring domestic chips, like those from Huawei, over Nvidia’s less advanced AI chips. This development is linked to U.S. restrictions on exporting Nvidia’s most advanced AI chips to China.

    In October, the U.S. revised export controls on advanced AI chips to China. As a result, Nvidia’s RTX 4090 chipset, a top-performing graphics card in the consumer market, is now banned from export to China.

    “Huang’s trip may have been in response to US government restrictions on Nvidia’s exports of chips to China. Nvidia may need to seek cooperation with local Chinese players to ensure that its products have access to the Chinese market,” Zhang Xiaorong, director of the Beijing-based Cutting-Edge Technology Research Institute said.

  • Nvidia’s CEO Believes Autonomous Vehicles Will Be All Over The World

    Nvidia’s CEO Believes Autonomous Vehicles Will Be All Over The World

    Nvidia’s founder and CEO Jensen Huang have revealed in a wide-ranging interview that autonomous vehicles will be prevalent all over the world. He believes 2022 is the inflection point for the development of autonomous vehicles and their adoption and by 2025, Nvidia will also be deploying its software at scale. By 2025, Nvidia will start monetizing its software by gathering licensing with revenue-sharing agreements with car companies.

    “I am certain that we will have autonomous vehicles all over the world. They all have their operating domains. And some of that is just within the boundaries of a very large warehouse. They call them AMRs, autonomous moving robots. You could have them inside walled factories, and so they could be moving goods and inventory around,” Huang told the Venturebeat.

    The Nvidia CEO’s comments come on the sidelines of its failed attempt to acquire ARM from SoftBank after the proposed deal faced universal negative pushback from regulatory authorities across the world. ARM, which designs chipsets and licenses its designs to countless companies across the world, is perhaps the last fabless and neutral chip design firm in the world. Its importance is so crucial because its designs are used nearly in everything from connected cars, autonomous cars, smartphones, tablets, PCs, IoT products to wearables.

    Huang believed that the failed ARM bid hadn’t impacted Nvidia one bit and from a long-term perspective he believed its autonomous division would be one of its biggest businesses. He added that Nvidia would continue to use ARM’s designs thanks to its 20-year license and it would utilize it across its product portfolio with new CPU designs already in development.

    “This will be a big year for us. And then next year, it’ll be even bigger next year. And in 2025, that’s when we deploy our own software where we do revenue sharing with the car companies. And so if the license was $10,000, we shared 50-50. If it’s a subscription base of $1,000 or $100 a month, we share 50-50. I think I’m pretty certain now that autonomous vehicles will be one of our largest businesses,” he added.

    Recently, Nvidia announced a wide-ranging deal with Jaguar Land Rover where it will be helping the iconic British automakers to develop autonomous cars and unique in-car experiences. The deal also entails Jaguar Land Rover leveraging Nvidia’s server-grade DGX GPUs.
