TOKYO, Nov 13 (Reuters) - Leading chipmaker Nvidia ( NVDA )

and SoftBank Corp ( SFTBF ), the telecommunications arm

of SoftBank Group, have piloted the world's first

artificial intelligence and 5G telecoms network, the two

companies said on Wednesday.

The network can run AI and 5G workloads concurrently, a

process known as an artificial intelligence radio access network

(AI-RAN), the companies said.

Applications for the network include autonomous vehicle

remote support and robotics control.

Nvidia ( NVDA ) founder and chief executive officer Jensen Huang also

said SoftBank was the first to receive its new Blackwell chip

designs, which it is incorporating into the AI supercomputer it

is developing to create its own generative AI model.
