SoftBank will be the first to receive Nvidia's new Blackwell chips for its AI supercomputer in Japan. This marks a significant development as production delays had previously slowed the rollout of these highly sought-after chips. Nvidia's CEO announced that SoftBank is also developing a second supercomputer using the Grace Blackwell platform. Additionally, SoftBank has successfully tested a combined AI and 5G telecom network using Nvidia's technology. These updates were shared during Nvidia's AI Summit in Japan, where the company highlighted its growing partnerships, including recent collaborations with major Indian firms.
