Three live demonstrations were shown: automatically generating complete programs, producing a dynamic particle animation based on a description titled with Taipei 101, GTC Taipei 2026, and the NVIDIA logo, and using CAD to create replacement parts that can be directly 3D printed. He also reiterated that software will not go bankrupt—this is the best era to build software, provided it’s designed so that it can be directly called by Agents. CUDA X has been fully opened to Agents, and efficiency even surpasses human developers.
