Executive Summary↑
CES 2026 confirms that the chip race is accelerating despite high capital costs. Nvidia is already telegraphing the transition to its Vera Rubin architecture while Blackwell units are just reaching scale. This compressed cycle forces enterprises to decide between immediate compute needs and the risk of rapid hardware obsolescence.
Capital is shifting toward physical AI as the industry seeks tangible ROI beyond software. The focus on robotics at CES shows that investors are betting on AI integration into the physical world to drive the next growth phase. While some of these products remain speculative, the trend toward autonomous edge devices is now unavoidable.
Scaling these systems introduces significant security friction. Recent identification of 11 runtime attacks targeting AI inference highlights a critical vulnerability for the C-suite. As models move into production, security spend must pivot from traditional perimeter defense to specialized inference protection to prevent data poisoning.

AI security is shifting from theoretical research to the messy reality of production environments. CISOs are now defending against 11 specific runtime attacks that target models while they’re actively processing data. We’re seeing a rise in dedicated inference security platforms as companies realize that generic firewalls can’t catch sophisticated model manipulation.
Nvidia continues to squeeze more performance out of its hardware through software long after the initial sale. The company is already boosting throughput on Blackwell chips today, even as the Vera Rubin architecture looms just a few months away. This relentless release cadence forces customers into a perpetual upgrade cycle that competitors like AMD still struggle to disrupt.
Investors should watch if these software-driven gains extend the lifespan of current data centers or simply accelerate the demand for the next generation of silicon. The real story isn't just the raw power of the upcoming chips, but how effectively Nvidia maintains its lead by making yesterday's purchase better through code.
