Nvidia unveils five-layer AI architecture at GTC Berlin

On October 21, 2026, Nvidia unveiled a five-layer AI architecture during its keynote at GTC Berlin 2026. NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang described AI as a five-layer structure consisting of energy, AI factories, models, and applications, and said the world has reached the starting point of a new industrial revolution. According to an on-site update published the same day on the NVIDIA Blog, Huang also mentioned that European companies including L'Oréal, Revolut, Spotify, Merck, Vodafone, Zara, Porsche, Nestlé, and HSBC are working with NVIDIA to advance AI, and said NVIDIA has invested nearly $10 billion in Europe's technology ecosystem and collaborates with more than 12,000 partners. The next day, The Elec reported that the architecture is called the "Five-Layer Cake," with the five layers being, in order: power and energy infrastructure; accelerated computing hardware; AI factory infrastructure (including neoclouds and communications networks); AI models covering domains such as language, biology, chemistry, physics, robotics, and animation; and an application layer that connects tokens to industries and enterprises. Huang called on Europe to build a complete five-layer architecture of its own and to shift from being an AI consumer to an AI producer. There are currently no subsequent developments.
