Jensen Huang Unveils Five-Layer AI Architecture
英伟达 CEO 黄仁勋在 GTC 2026 柏林大会上发布五层 AI 架构“Five-Layer Cake”，将 AI 定义为大规模生产 token 的新型制造业。五层依次为电力与能源基础设施、加速计算硬件、AI 工厂基础设施（含 neoclouds 与通信网络）、覆盖语言/生物/化学/物理/机器人/动画等领域的 AI 模型，以及把 token 接入行业与企业的应用层。黄仁勋称 AI 是自主生产智能的工厂与机器，并呼吁欧洲自建完整五层架构、从 AI 消费者转为生产者。

Nvidia has defined artificial intelligence (AI) as a new manufacturing industry that produces digital intelligence, or tokens, at scale. The company also unveiled a five-layer AI architecture, dubbed the "Five-Layer Cake," to support this vision.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said during his keynote at the annual GTC 2026 Berlin conference on Oct. 21 local time, "A new industrial revolution begins when new technology fundamentally changes how products are made and what can be produced." He emphasized that Europe must move beyond being merely a consumer of AI and become a producer of digital intelligence.
Huang described the current period as the beginning of a new industrial revolution and introduced the five-layer AI architecture as a framework for systematically building AI systems.
The first layer consists of power and energy infrastructure that operates AI factories. The second comprises advanced computers and accelerated computing hardware that provide the foundation for AI processing. The third is AI factory infrastructure, combining power and computing to produce tokens at scale, including neoclouds and communication networks.
The fourth layer consists of AI models spanning various domains and scales, including language, biology, chemistry, physics, robotics and animation. The fifth and final layer comprises applications that integrate the resulting tokens into industries and enterprises.
"Unlike conventional software tools, AI is a factory and a machine that produces intelligence on its own," Huang said. He explained that the five-layer AI architecture, connecting energy to applications, would become the core infrastructure of the new industrial revolution. He also urged European companies and governments to build independent production ecosystems rather than remain technology consumers.
"To become a central player in the AI economy, you must produce AI yourself rather than simply consume it," Huang added. "Europe has the capabilities to build the entire five-layer AI architecture independently."
