As more teams move from humanoid robot bring-up to task-specific skill development, the need for repeatable development workflows is growing. Building humanoids remains complex, and today’s development pipelines are still highly fragmented. As a result, developers spend significant time configuring robotics infrastructure before they can focus on building robot capabilities.

Industrial machinery generates more alarms than technicians can triage. For each important alarm requiring follow-up, the technician pulls historical context, determines the correct procedure, checks whether a specialist signal confirms the failure mode, and writes up a recommendation. This process remains consistent, and is well-suited for an AI agent. This post discusses a per-alarm…

Spectrum is one of the most valuable assets in wireless communications. Over the last 30 years, telecom operators in the US have spent more than $240B to acquire wireless spectrum. A goal of a radio access network (RAN) system is to extract the maximum spectral efficiency (bits/second/Hertz) possible, which translates into more capacity, stronger network resilience with fewer dropped packets…

Agentic systems turn model reasoning into action through multi-step workflows that combine inference, tool use, code execution, retrieval, orchestration, and result handling. As these systems scale across the AI factory, performance depends not only on GPU acceleration, but also on the CPU work that happens between model steps. Across the creation and deployment of an agentic system…

Training LLMs at massive scale brings unique infrastructure challenges, especially as jobs span thousands of GPUs and run for extended periods. The longer these jobs run, the greater the likelihood of encountering unscheduled interruptions or resource fluctuations. Even infrequent device unavailability can have outsized effects on tightly interconnected clusters, resulting in slowdowns for a given…

AI has transformed how organizations operate, driving unprecedented levels of productivity and innovation. However, AI adoption can be impeded by concerns surrounding data privacy, sovereignty and how to secure data while it is in use, or during inference and engagement with AI models. NVIDIA Confidential Computing (CC) was engineered to be a secure and performant solution for the era of agentic…

Reinforcement learning (RL) is central to aligning language models, from reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF) within AI assistants to newer reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) workflows for reasoning and agent tasks. RL is now becoming a practical technique for specialized AI where enterprises need more accurate agents for domain-specific workflows.

AI agents are quickly moving beyond chat. They inspect code, run tests, read documents, search knowledge bases, query internal systems, and operate for hours on behalf of a user. This unlocks productivity, but can also give agents access to sensitive enterprise data and the ability to complete tasks and take action across business systems, making a secure, governed environment essential.

AI agents have changed a lot in the last two years. The first could only answer one question at a time. Then came multi-turn chat, where the model could keep some context across a session. Today, we have long-horizon agents. Systems that plan many steps, split work between sub-agents, keep context across a long task, and run tools in a safe sandbox. The NVIDIA AI-Q Blueprint is an open source…

As context windows grow longer, moving large model weights efficiently becomes critical to performance. A common way to address this is quantization, an optimization technique that compresses model weights into a smaller data format. One quantization format is NVFP4, an innovative 4-bit floating point introduced with NVIDIA Blackwell architecture. That’s the approach behind our new Nemotron 3…

Shaders are GPU programs that process visual data—such as rays, pixels, geometry, and textures—to produce specific rendering effects. Shaders find necessary data through a process called resource binding. CPU code orchestrates the creation of GPU resources such as textures and memory buffers and then carefully arranges for shader code to access them through a binding protocol.

An increasingly common design pattern for autonomous vehicles (AVs), robotics, and spatial AI systems is bird’s-eye-view (BEV) perception. BEV models project multicamera image features into a shared top-down grid, providing downstream perception and planning modules with a common spatial layout for reasoning about lanes, vehicles, pedestrians, and free space. A key operation in this pipeline…

Power can account for 40% of the operating expenses (OpEx) to run an AI factory. Each watt can be spent on overhead, data ingestion, training, or generating tokens for customers. And most sites are capped at a fixed power level provided by a regional provider. Under these conditions, performance per watt becomes a key efficiency metric that directly translates to token costs.

As AI systems move from single-turn interactions to coordinated multiagent workflows, low-latency inference becomes increasingly important. Autoregressive LLMs generate tokens sequentially, which can limit GPU utilization and constrain throughput in latency-sensitive serving scenarios. Speculative decoding helps mitigate this bottleneck by using a lightweight model to draft future tokens…

AI scientists are emerging as a new interface for scientific computing. These agents can read papers, write code, generate hypotheses, call APIs, inspect files, and iterate on results. But science isn’t software engineering. There is no test suite that turns green when a hypothesis is correct; discovery is iterative, uncertain, and grounded in the physical world. You can’t take a general coding…
