Excited for
@NVIDIAGTC kicking off next week! As a huge fan of Physical AI, robotics, quantum computing, and cutting-edge ML scaling, I've curated my schedule around breakthroughs in embodied AI, simulation tech, agents, and more. From NVIDIA's ecosystem to world models powering humanoids—it's going to be epic.
Sharing my full lineup below (Scheduled Favorited sessions). If you're attending in San Jose, hit me up! Let's connect. (DM me to join WeChat group chat.)
