NVIDIA GTC 2026 Confirmed It: The Inference Era Is Here

Last week at NVIDIA GTC 2026, one message was clear: AI has moved beyond the training era and into the era of production inference. The conversation was no longer just about building faster chips and smarter models; it was about what it takes to run AI at scale with the latency, reliability, and economics real products demand. Reuters called it an “inference boom,” and even the CPU became part of the conversation again as inference workloads push the industry to optimize the full system, not just the accelerator.
