FollowNvidia (NVDA) shares climbed over 2% on Wednesday following CEO Jensen Huang’s GTC 2025 keynote, where he unveiled new AI-driven initiatives. Meanwhile, reports surfaced that Nvidia has acquired synthetic data company Gretel in a nine-figure deal.
According to a report by Wired, the acquisition price exceeds Gretel’s last known valuation of $320 million, though specific financial terms remain undisclosed.

The deal aligns with Nvidia’s broader push into synthetic data generation, which helps developers train AI models with highly customized datasets.
One of Huang’s keynote highlights was the launch of the Isaac GR00T Blueprint, a framework designed to streamline the creation of synthetic motion datasets for humanoid robots. This tool employs imitation learning, allowing robots to acquire new skills by mimicking human behavior.
Additionally, Nvidia introduced a major update to its Cosmos world foundation models (WFMs), enabling developers to build highly adaptable AI models for physical simulations.
The company also rolled out two new blueprints powered by its Omniverse and Cosmos platforms, designed to generate massive synthetic datasets for training autonomous vehicles and robots.
