Investors are always scanning the horizon for the next big thing in stocks. For the past few years, it's clear that Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has been the key winner that's driven most index (and portfolio) returns.

Nvidia and Jensen Huang took over CES 2025 with the RTX 50-series debut, but the hardware is a vehicle for AI ambitions.

Jensen Huang founded accelerated computing company Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) in 1993, and has served as the CEO and president ever since. Nvidia has achieved many breakthroughs under his leadership, but the invention of the graphics processing unit (GPU) in 1999 was particularly momentous.

The chip-making giant recently released a set of AI Blueprints, or agent models that can be integrated directly into a company’s software. In the future, Huang says these AI agents will work alongside employees helping them with everything from busy work to wrangling customer concerns.
