NVIDIA’s charismatic CEO, Jensen Huang, recently made headlines not just for groundbreaking tech developments but also for his new stylish attire. During a visit to the headquarters of 1X Technologies in San Francisco, Jensen was welcomed by a humanoid robot that gifted him a sleek leather jacket. This isn’t your ordinary jacket; it was custom-crafted by California’s ERL clothing brand and features an eye-catching embroidered NVIDIA logo on the back.
1X Technologies, while not a household name in AI yet, is carving out its niche in “physical AI.” Based in Norway, the company is working on its Neo Gamma humanoid robots and has ambitious plans to deploy them in thousands of homes by the end of 2025. Currently, these robots are undergoing rigorous testing, allowing teleoperators to remotely oversee tasks, as full automation has not been achieved yet.
The jacket, which Jensen proudly donned, is somewhat reminiscent of the classic leather jackets he’s known for, yet with an exclusive touch that nods to NVIDIA’s cutting-edge status. Perhaps this gift symbolizes NVIDIA’s support for the advancement of physical AI, marking another exciting chapter following the era of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
Jensen, known for his signature leather jacket look, might have a wardrobe full of them, but this new addition could signify an evolution as NVIDIA continues to break new ground in technology. With previous appearances, like his “glittery” jacket at the GTC 2025 keynote, it seems Jensen isn’t afraid to shake up his style, mirroring NVIDIA’s own innovative spirit. This interaction with the humanoid robot not only highlights NVIDIA’s ongoing influence in tech advancements but also sets a trendy high note for what might come next in wearable tech.
