NVIDIA Presents DSX POD Modular AI-Fabric System at GTC Berlin

At NVIDIA GTC in Berlin on 21 October 2026, Jensen Huang outlined infrastructure-oriented offerings aimed at AI factories, including DSX POD, described as a modular system, and OpenShell, a platform for enterprises to deploy AI agents securely.

The source associates the products with substantially shorter data-center construction timelines, although it provides no measurable deployment timetable or comparison baseline. It also does not specify whether DSX POD is available for delivery, in pilot deployment or at an announcement stage.

For data-center operators and AI infrastructure investors, the direction is relevant: suppliers of accelerated computing are increasingly seeking to package AI infrastructure into more modular and standardised building blocks. Such an approach could reduce deployment complexity and accelerate build-outs, but the source provides no DSX POD power rating, configuration details, pricing, customer commitments or project-level implementation data. Its effect on actual capacity additions therefore cannot yet be assessed.

The keynote was interrupted around 20 minutes after it began by protesters who questioned reports that NVIDIA chips are used in Russian drones and other military equipment. Security removed the protesters and Huang continued the presentation. The source also reported a demonstration of Microduck robots from French company Pollen Robotics as an example of European physical-AI and humanoid-robotics capability.

The protest adds reputational, environmental and geopolitical considerations to NVIDIA’s AI-infrastructure expansion narrative. The allegation concerning use of NVIDIA chips in Russian drones was raised by protesters and reported as such; the available source does not independently establish chip use, supply routes or any connection to Russian data-center projects.
