Nvidia has barely started shipping its latest artificial-intelligence chips, and everybody is already looking to hear about the next ones. Here’s what else to know ahead of the semiconductor company’s flagship conference:

Nvidia’s annual GTC developers conference in San Jose, Calif., unofficially dubbed “AI Woodstock,” starts Monday. It is expected to bring more than 25,000 in-person attendees.

Nvidia’s Blackwell AI chips were the main attraction at last year’s conference. Analysts expect Chief Executive Jensen Huang to showcase a revved-up version called Blackwell Ultra in his keynote address at 1 p.m. ET on Tuesday.

Nvidia watchers are eager to hear more about the next generation of AI chips called Rubin, which Nvidia has only teased at in prior events.

Shares in Nvidia’s Asian suppliers rallied ahead of the conference. Samsung stock rose 5.3% in Seoul on Monday.

Stocks such as Quantum Computing and D-Wave Quantum also got a boost. Huang is slated to appear on a panel about the future of quantum computing Thursday.
