World's biggest consumer tech show in Las Vegas until Jan. 9
Companies both large and small are giving consumers a first look at their new products during CES 2026, the world's largest consumer technology trade show now underway in Las Vegas.
And, as predicted, artificial intelligence was anchored in nearly everything as tech firms continue to look for AI products that will attract customers, from LG's new laundry folding robot to Uber's robotaxi to Lego's smart bricks.
Check out the latest from the trade show.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang showed off Cosmos, an AI foundation model trained on massive datasets capable of simulating environments governed by actual physics. He also announced Alpamayo, an AI model specifically designed for autonomous vehicles.
Here, he reveals the company's next-generation AI superchip platform, dubbed Vera Rubin, which is in full production.

Lego's chief product and marketing officer and executive vice-president Julia Goldin speaks as Chewbacca stands behind her during a news conference about a new Star Wars partnership on Monday.
Lego smart bricks are also shown during the news conference. They contain sensors that sense light and distance, and provide an array of responses — essentially lights and sounds when they are used in unison.
Uber gives the public a first look at its robotaxi. The company — along with luxury electric vehicle manufacturer Lucid Motors and vehicle tech company Nuro — is introducing an autonomous vehicle with an Uber-designed in-cabin experience.
LG reveals its new CLOiD Home Robot to help around the home, shown here loading laundry into a machine.
A Mirumi furry companion robot is displayed during the trade show.
