Jensen Huang x Marc Benioff at Dreamforce 2026

Specially welcome, please welcome Jensen Wong, the CEO of NVIDIA is here. Jensen, great to have you, Jensen. Thank you for being here. We all have to learn how to walk and talk at the same time. How are you guys doing this? Jensen, we can do that. Yeah, let's walk here. Come on. Let's walk. And I'll do the training myself. Jensen, I have a hard time. It's an exciting thing to be able to complete sentence. You have to take a left now. All right. So Jensen, congratulations on everything that you are doing for the whole industry. The GPU, it's a huge success. It's transformed everything. You're sitting next to David Kirk on our board, who I think was at NVIDIA for a while as well. That's right. Love David Kirk. And now give us your vision of the future. You know, where are we going? Because, of course, you've got these critical components. You've got the GPU. And now you've got the number one open source platform in the world that companies like ours can fine tune. You know, how do you think this can go ahead? We can go straight here and do this. Well, you had to stop so you could think, I could do this all day. And so, first of all, as you know, we're going through a new industrial revolution, just as a few hundred years ago. Yeah, we could even go right down this aisle. Everyone will be thrilled. With electricity, we could power everything with the Internet. We can find. You have to look into that camera while you're talking with the Internet. With Internet, you can find anything. Yeah. And now with artificial intelligence as an infrastructure layer across the planet, we can know everything and do anything. And so this this layer, this layer, you want to go this way? Sure. This layer. See, now you got it. Yeah. This is good. Training has come to a complete. This is good. This is good. Yeah. And so so now that that's the first part. Now, the work that we do together, what we see is that every company, every company, every enterprise, every country would become an A.I. company. Everybody would be you're an A.I. company. I'm an A.I. company. We're going to have it's going to be an agentic enterprise. And so what we did was we said, listen, we took the GPU and we evolved it into these giant systems that are now essentially full stack A.I. factories. And so just follow me. I you've got this now and you've got this. And so we're all following you, bro. I we we got this, I got this. And so so listen. So what happens is we evolved our company from a GPU company to an A.I. full stack A.I. infrastructure company. We build out these giant systems that are essentially A.I. factories that turn electricity, that turns the data that all that are stored in all the enterprises. And we turn it into intelligence. And I was just amazed that the way you were doing it was I was kind of did you read that? I don't think so. You guys were just doing it. So anyways, anyways. So what we did was we created this full stack A.I. factory. And then on top of it, we said, listen, how can we turn every single enterprise into an agentic enterprise? And so we did several things. The first thing that we did was we created the frontier A.I. models. Nemotron is for language, but we also lead five of the frontiers. Nemotron. Now you guys are going to make me nervous. And so we have we have Nemotron. You can also pause and just stop. We can pace, pause. No, go forward. No, no. Whatever you want to do. We're going to cover everybody. Is that a metaphor for the industry? Do you think we can go anywhere? Oh, we do. We go. And so so the first thing is Nemotron is a language model. Cosmos is a world foundation models at the frontier. It is the frontier Alpamaya for navigation systems, autonomous vehicles, for example. We have BioNemo with a protein complex at the frontier of protein models. Incredible. And then, of course, Groot are human or robotics models. And so we're at the frontier of these models are all completely open. That's the first thing that we did. The second thing we did was create an agentic harness system. It's completely open. You could you could put your model inside of it, create amazing harnesses around it. And the run times that do it. And then the third thing, super important, is this thing called Open Shell. It is the world's first secure, secure sandbox, but also secure runtime. And so that you could deploy these agents at scale across enterprises safely. And so these are the things that we did. And now we can turn every single enterprise, every single company into an AI company. And of course, we believe we see a future where the world uses closed models, but every company would also be able to build their own private models, your own customized models, which is the work that we're doing with you guys. Salesforce is going to be an AI company. Jensen, we have been seeing an incredible debate for the last day on pacing and safety and the future of these models. You've had some time to think about what everybody is saying and kind of bring it all down to us and explain, you know, how do you see that? Well, safety is paramount. In a lot of ways, it's job one. However, safety is an engineering problem. We're developing software after all. We're developing computing systems after all. It's complicated computing system, but it's ultimately a computing system. And so so the first thing is to make sure that we create the test environments for testing these complex systems. And those test environments have to be built in a good way, built in a safe way. And then the second thing is we have to test these products. If we're if we're not confident about the safety of the products, like all companies, like you and I, any any all the companies here, if you build a product or a service and you're not confident in its. Functionality, capability or safety, then don't release it. And so that's a very obvious thing to do. You pace yourself until you are confident you're releasing something that the market would appreciate. The market forces are already there. We don't need any new laws. We don't need new regulations. We just need companies to decide that when it's, you know, run as fast as they can. I think innovation, speed and safe products are not. It's a false choice. You could definitely have both at the same time. So run as fast as you can. But if you feel at any given point in time, the company's out of control or or the product's not going to be safe, you know, take a pause and make sure you get it right. What's your vision for the next year in the short term? What what did you like to see everyone in this room? We have 10,000 people you can see all around. We have 10,000 people in this room. We have 10 million people online, 50,000, 53,000 people here at Dreamforce with us this year. I think this is your second Dreamforce. You know, what do you want to see us all kind of get done this year? Well, I'll say I'll say this first and then I'll say last. And I'm pretty sure what we want to do is agent force every company. Do you guys agree with that? All right. So so I mean, I mean, I'm his sales guy. The consummate sales guy, sales guy. And so so, of course, of course, what I mean by that, of course, is that we really want to deploy AI in order for in order for all of our we were the people here. You represent a lot of different companies, a lot of different countries. You don't want to be left behind. This is too important of a technology revolution. It is too extraordinary of capabilities. Engage the technology, learn about it. You know, if it doesn't work for you right away, don't give up on it. And the reason for that is because there's a massive industry working behind it, making it better all the time. If you just tested it today and you felt that it did 80 percent of what you expected, test it again in a couple of weeks. It's going to get much, much better. And so don't give up on the technology. The most important thing is don't get don't don't get left behind. I think that in the the big picture, though, is that in the last six months, there's no question I went from the labs into what I would consider extremely useful. I was you're experiencing and I'm experiencing across all of our companies. The surprising thing for a lot of people and wasn't surprising to me. OK. And in fact, you heard me say it. I was I was the first CEO to come out, not in the software industry, to say the end of software is nonsense. This is going to be a layer on top of software. This was it was a layer on top of software. This new layer on top of software is going to be agentic. It's going to make you use the software so much better. And so so that that's the first idea. The second idea is AI is going to destroy jobs. That's also completely nonsense. And the reason that is very, very simple. There was you and I are you know, we look young. The fact that we could we do the fact that we really look young. Yeah. The fact that we can. We really do. You're right. The fact that we could sit here and pace and talk at 100 miles an hour and keep up with the young people like that. You know, they we are. It's really true what you're saying, by the way. It's really true. It is true. Roland, do you agree with this? Yeah. Roland also agrees. The two of you guys, you know, when I'm very good friends with both of you guys, the thing that I was amazed by is.
