Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang unveiled the "DSX Pod" at GTC Berlin 2026, a developer conference held in Berlin, Germany, on Wednesday (local time), saying infrastructure must exist before AI models can emerge. The modular system is designed to dramatically cut the time needed to build AI data centers.

Huang urged European companies lagging in AI to accelerate their efforts. "To be part of the AI economy, you cannot simply consume AI," he said. "You must become a producer of AI."

The DSX Pod integrates Nvidia's Vera Rubin system along with the power and cooling infrastructure needed to operate it, all inside factory-built modular containers. Assuming power and water infrastructure is already in place, the system can reduce AI data center construction time from the conventional six months to just 14 days.

Nvidia said the DSX Pod can reduce the complex construction work, labor demands and logistics burdens associated with traditional AI data centers. Because the containers are fully tested at the factory before deployment, the approach also lowers the risk of component procurement delays.

"With the DSX Pod, customers can scale computing capacity and get revenue-generating production environments up and running faster," Huang said, striking an optimistic tone despite growing skepticism surrounding the AI industry.

Ahead of the keynote, Huang had already committed roughly $10 billion to the European AI ecosystem, touring major cities including Paris, London, Stockholm and Dublin.

The DSX Pod is part of Nvidia's broader strategy to sustain growth in the AI data center industry by enabling rapid deployment of large-scale computing capacity.

"The DSX Pod will change the way AI data centers are built," Huang said. "This is a complete transformation of the world's supply chain."
