Nvidia Unveils Alpamayo Automotive Platform at CES 2026

According to Foresight News, Nvidia introduced its new automotive platform, Alpamayo, at the CES 2026 event. CEO Jensen Huang stated that the platform enables vehicles to perform 'inference' in real-world scenarios. Potential users can adopt the Alpamayo model and retrain it independently. This free service aims to develop vehicles capable of handling unexpected situations, such as traffic light malfunctions. The onboard computer analyzes inputs from cameras and other sensors, breaking them down into steps to derive solutions. Additionally, Nvidia's new Rubin data center product is set to launch this year, allowing customers to test the technology. Six Rubin chips have been delivered from manufacturing partners and have passed several key tests, indicating progress toward customer deployment. The latest Rubin accelerator offers a 3.5-fold improvement in training performance and a fivefold increase in AI software speed compared to its predecessor, Blackwell. Systems based on Rubin are expected to have lower operational costs than those based on Blackwell.
