A central challenge in robotics is building policies that generalize beyond the demonstrations they’re trained on. A policy that succeeds in a training scene often fails when object shapes, positions, or lighting change. Generalizing to these new conditions requires the policy to understand the tasks underlying physics, not just mimic the demonstrations. This ability comes from the backbone it’s…

NVIDIA nvmath-python is a library designed to bridge the gap between the Python scientific community and NVIDIA CUDA-X math libraries. It gives Python users access to CUDA-X performance for common math operations without disrupting existing workflows. Depending on the API, operations can run on a CPU, CUDA-enabled GPU, or distributed multi-GPU, multi-node systems.

Knowledge workers are increasingly integrating AI agents into their workflows. Agents that function as “digital coworkers” offer clear benefits. For example, they can review a bug report, implement and test a fix, push a patch, and ping a human for review. By handling routine tasks, agents have the potential to deliver large productivity gains. On the other hand, connecting a large language model…

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…

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.

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…

OpenUSD is an open, extensible framework that provides a common scene description language for physical AI. It enables teams to bring CAD data, simulation assets, and real-world telemetry into a shared, physically accurate view of the world. Until now, building a USD implementation has typically required adapting a large existing codebase— even for teams that need a specific memory footprint…

For over fifteen years, x86 CPUs have shipped with a dedicated hardware instruction for carryless multiplication. It’s a small but stubborn primitive that sits underneath authenticated encryption, error-correcting codes, and modern zero-knowledge proofs. Until now, NVIDIA GPUs lacked native support for this operation. NVIDIA CUDA 13.3 closes that gap with , a new PTX instruction available on…

There are many ways to optimize code for GPUs. In this post, you’ll learn how kernel fusion can improve memory bandwidth and reduce kernel launch overhead, along with multiple ways to apply it in NVIDIA CUDA code. A common bottleneck when writing GPU code is that GPU compute is so fast that even high-bandwidth device memory doesn’t use the GPU kernel fully. Kernel fusion addresses this by…

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 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.

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…
