CES 2025: Toasters, Toilets, and GPUs

CES 2025: Toasters, Toilets, and GPUs

The Bonnaroo of Bluetooth butter knives…

The Woodstock of Wi-Fi toasters…

The Super Bowl of self-scrubbing sponges…

That’s right.

CES 2025 is officially underway.

The ultimate tech expo is always full of surprises, but here’s a reality check: Not everything you’ll see there is destined for greatness.

In 2017, for example, we saw the release of a voice masker called Hushme. On top of muffling your voice, it also played masking sounds like wind, rain, or… chipmunks(?).

pub Perfect for telling Janet in accounting, "You merely adopted the spreadsheets; I was born in them."

2019 blessed us with the Pepe Pet Dryer, offering the chance to trap your pet in a hairdryer coffin for 25 minutes of existential dread.

It comes in pink.

And who can forget Charmin’s big unveil at CES in 2020? Your very own toilet paper delivery bot.

(Coincidentally, this was right before the Great Toilet Paper Panic of 2020… what did Charmin know!?)

In short, we’ve encountered a little bit of everything along the way.

BUT…

It’s the 5% that makes it worth watching closely. It’s the 5% that tips you off on what’s coming.

It’s the 5% that can make you rich.And, although James and I couldn’t make it this year…

We do have a man on the inside.

Nvidia Steals the Show

We just heard from our guy on the ground, Paradigm colleague Davis Wilson, who’s prowling the CES floor like a caffeinated hawk.

His take on Nvidia’s keynote? CEO Jensen Huang didn’t just show up; he set the tone for the entire event.

For starters, Huang spoke about how AI isn’t just about making GPUs better—it’s making them cheaper.

Nvidia’s latest gaming GPU dropped from $1,599 to $549, thanks to AI-driven efficiency. 

Nvidia is also focused on creating the world’s first “physical AI model for robotics and industrial AI” -- called Nvidia Cosmos.

Think ChatGPT for robots.

Analysts are already saying this could create the next $1 trillion opportunity for the behemoth.

What else?

Nvidia’s AI Blueprints can build custom podcasts from PDFs, analyze videos, and even run AI agents anywhere.

Nvidia’s DRIVEHyperion is already in cars from Mercedes-Benz and Volvo. One platform, everything integrated—chip, sensors, safety.

Project DIGITS is bringing AI supercomputers to your desk.

The bottom line, according to Davis: “AI is advancing across the board and a whole new crop of exciting innovations are coming down the line in the near future, thanks to AI leaders like Nvidia.”

Yes, CES may introduce us to an AI-powered cat litter box that sends you performance reviews for your cat… 

But it’s also where giants like Nvidia reveal trillion-dollar ideas like Cosmos or AI breakthroughs that make GPUs cheaper and smarter.

While the noise can be deafening, the signal is clear: earth-shaking advances are happening in AI.

And this is just the beginning. 

More to come.
