NVIDIA Declares ‘ChatGPT Moment for Physical AI’ at CES 2026

At CES 2026, NVIDIA declared that the “ChatGPT moment for physical AI has arrived” and announced robot-specific chips and AI models available for free. The robotics era is officially beginning.

NVIDIA’s Announcements

  • Robot-specific chips: Purpose-built silicon for robotics applications
  • Free AI models: Foundation models for robotics available at no cost
  • Physical AI focus: Moving AI from digital to physical world

Why “ChatGPT Moment”?

Just as ChatGPT made conversational AI accessible to everyone, NVIDIA believes their tools will democratize robotics AI:

  • Lower barriers to entry for robotics developers
  • Standardized chips and models reduce fragmentation
  • Free availability accelerates ecosystem growth

The Broader Context

This announcement comes alongside Google DeepMind and Boston Dynamics integrating Gemini-class multimodal models into the electric Atlas humanoid—considered the most significant robotics collaboration of the 2020s.

2026 may be the year AI moves from screens to the physical world.
