Deploying an AI coding assistant in a regulated, sovereign, or source-sensitive environment, often comes with challenges. Three common issues are: the source cannot leave the network, the assistant occasionally invents package names that introduce supply-chain risk, and there is no audit trail when a generated change ships a defect. This tutorial walks you through how to self-host a validated…

Unlike autonomous driving or industrial robotics, healthcare robotics can’t rely on internet-scale data collection or unlimited real-world experimentation. Every demonstration requires specialized equipment, clinical expertise, and access to patients or laboratory environments. This creates three fundamental challenges for developers. First is the data gap. Training modern robotic policies…

Building a great AI agent isn’t just about choosing the right models. The harness is the architecture surrounding the model. How it renders context, executes actions, manages state, and decides when a task is done shapes outcomes just as much as the model itself. Harness design alone can account for double-digit swings in benchmark results and significant differences in token cost…

Modern chip design is increasingly limited by engineering time. Register transfer level (RTL) development and verification require specialized hardware knowledge, precise reasoning, and repeated interaction with electronic design automation (EDA) tools. LLMs have accelerated code generation, and AI agents extend their impact by using verification feedback to iteratively correct errors.

Every byte moved has a cost. As model checkpoints grow to hundreds of gigabytes or even a terabyte, that cost adds up quickly. To make things even worse, moving these model weights around the cluster is extremely common. For instance, a cold start may pull weights from remote storage into GPU memory; autoscaling and rolling updates must populate each new replica; and RL post-training continuously…

Customization is what enables developers to take a general model and tailor it to use cases, domains, languages, and more. However, customization comes with a few challenges. It requires infrastructure, technical expertise, and software specific to the workflow, as well as resources such as GPUs and the ability to use them effectively. It also depends on specialized domain knowledge: What…

A TensorRT engine build can take seconds to many minutes. Large strongly typed models, deep tactic search, and a cold timing cache on a brand-new GPU SKU can leave developers, end users, or AI agents staring at a frozen terminal with no idea whether to wait, retry, or kill the process. Most NVIDIA TensorRT integrations report nothing during a build or provide no way to abort early.

What began as discrete AI model training and human-facing chat interfaces has evolved into always-on AI factories dedicated to producing intelligence at scale. These factories are now tasked with powering agentic workflows that reason, plan, use tools, verify intermediate results, and execute complex multistep tasks across vast contexts. Agentic workloads are not defined by a single prompt…

Frontier model pre-training has converged on mixture of experts (MoE), which is fundamentally changing what limits large-scale AI training. As compute per token falls, communication increasingly determines how efficiently models scale across thousands of GPUs. NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 set a world record for pre-training DeepSeek-V3 671B at 1,648 TFLOPs per GPU, showing how advances across the entire AI…

Agentic AI shifts more of the critical execution path onto the CPU. Agents operate in sandboxes to execute code, invoke tools, retrieve context, interact with databases, and analyze results before returning information to the model. As these loops run concurrently across an AI factory, CPU performance increasingly shapes both per-agent responsiveness and overall factory throughput.

The demand for AI continues to accelerate. Workloads are getting larger, models are becoming more complex, and there is mounting pressure to deploy AI compute infrastructure faster than ever. AI factories—data center-scale systems that continuously convert data and energy into intelligence—are being deployed to meet this insatiable demand. This AI factory approach to the data center has…

Agentic AI changes the infrastructure pattern for AI factories. One request can trigger many model calls, tool calls, memory lookups, policy checks, storage accesses, and network transfers before a final answer is produced. As more agents run at once and carry context across steps, users, tools, services, and sessions, infrastructure must move, protect, retrieve, and reuse data fast enough to keep…

Developers building video analytics applications across large spaces must track the same object as it moves between camera views. Single-camera 2D tracking lacks reliable depth information and typically loses track of the object when it leaves the frame, limiting applications such as warehouse safety, retail analytics, and smart-building monitoring. Current 3D tracking methods require manual…

Coding AI agents are becoming practical operators for long-running machine learning (ML) workflows. They can inspect repositories, set up runtimes, resolve build issues, launch experiments, monitor execution, analyze metrics, and summarize results. For reinforcement learning (RL) research, this matters because meaningful metrics often appear only after the essential experiment infrastructure…

What if autonomous coding AI agents could push your vision reasoning models above 90% accuracy with almost no manual effort? When adapting vision reasoning models to production video tasks, developers often lose days to data formatting, container setup, training scripts, baseline evaluation, and hyperparameter sweeps before they even know whether post-training improves accuracy.

Useful quantum computers will require fault tolerant logical operations. Researchers are actively exploring many different quantum error correction (QEC) codes to enable this, improving the Logical Error Rates (LER) of Quantum Processing Units (QPUs). While it is well understood how to run logical operations with surface codes (which belong to the topological code family) via lattice surgery…

Large language model (LLM) training workloads increasingly run into GPU memory limits before compute is fully used. Model weights, gradients, optimizer states, communication buffers, and intermediate activations all compete for GPU high-bandwidth memory (HBM). As model size, sequence length, and batch size grow, HBM capacity often becomes the primary scaling bottleneck. This post explains how…
