## Huang's vision for Europe
Jensen Huang told four thousand people at Nvidia's GTC in Berlin on Wednesday that Europe can produce AI, not just consume it. Robotics, AI agents, and modular data centers will power the continent's future.

> To be part of this AI economy, you don't want to just be consuming the AI. You want to be producing the AI.
## The DSX Pod arrives
Nvidia announced the DSX Pod, a plug-and-play AI factory that arrives fully assembled in a metal container with Vera Rubin compute racks. It comes online in fourteen days instead of months or years.

> This is a complete transformation.
## Robotics and physical AI
Huang said humanoid robotics will be the next great industry and Europe is well-placed to lead due to its manufacturing heritage. Physical AI extends beyond robotics to telecom operators adding Nvidia GPUs to cell towers.
## New robotics platform launches
Nvidia announced a full-stack robotics platform to standardize configuration and will release Agile One, a preconfigured reference robot, in the first quarter of next year to help developers build physical AI systems.
## Agents drive GPU demand higher
Huang predicted every company will use both closed and open models customized on proprietary data. Agents' reasoning, iteration, and tool use push token consumption and demand for computing and Nvidia GPUs higher.

> Every company in the future will use both closed models as well as open models that you customize.
## Key takeaway

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced plug-and-play data centers and robotics platforms at his Berlin conference, arguing Europe can lead in AI production rather than just consumption.
