NVIDIA GTC Week Recap 1

Last month, 600+ founders, creators, researchers, and execs packed into the GenAI Meetup hosted by Hailuo AI (MiniMax) and fal— one of the most global and electric gatherings at GTC Week.
Huge thanks to Coco Mao, Founder of OpenArt AI, for the invite. 🙌 Here are 3 shifts shaping the future of GenAI—and why they matter for your business:

1️⃣ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗘𝗱𝗴𝗲: 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗲-𝗧𝘂𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗔𝗜 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝗬𝗼𝘂
We’re moving from generic GenAI tools to customized models that reflect a creator’s style or a brand’s identity. Musicians are fine-tuning voice models to match their tone. Designers are training image generators on their aesthetic. Platforms like Civitai make this accessible—letting creators fine-tune and share custom visual models built on Stable Diffusion AI.
𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻𝘀 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗔𝗜 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗮 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱-𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿—a major edge for companies producing at scale.

2️⃣ 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 “𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝘆” 𝘁𝗼 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴
The old frustration—prompt, wait and pray, redo—is fading. Today’s GenAI models are becoming more controllable and context-aware. Multimodal systems are learning to grasp intent, not just keywords. Say “make it feel like a rainy Tokyo night,” and you might finally get visuals that hit the tone. Adobe Firefly lets creators extend scenes frame-by-frame with visual consistency. That’s not just technical progress—it’s creative freedom for teams without deep AI expertise.

3️⃣ 𝗔𝗜 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗠𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗿—𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁
AI is becoming the connective tissue across creative teams. We heard from startups using GenAI to align scripts, visuals, voice, and edits—cutting iteration time dramatically. DreamFlare AI told us story of non-professional creators (e.g., nurse) now unskilled to monetize with her AI creativity. Companies like Silverside AI are transforming book chapters into animated stories, bringing new creators into professional pipelines.

This isn’t about replacement—it’s about reshaping roles and unlocking new ones.
GenAI won’t replace creatives. It will elevate those who adapt.
