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…

A video analytics AI agent that can perceive, reason, and act based on massive amounts of video footage must be integrated with existing workflows and applications to be useful. These include content management systems, messaging platforms, databases, ticket queue, and escalation paths. This integration is challenging because video systems, enterprise knowledge bases…

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…

The NVIDIA Nemotron Model Reasoning Challenge invited the Kaggle community to explore a focused question: What techniques can improve reasoning accuracy when everyone starts from the same open model, benchmark, infrastructure and evaluation constraints? The response was massive. By the close of the competition, more than 5,000 active participants across 4,000 teams had generated thousands of…

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…

AI performance comes down to three dimensions: Deployments must balance all three: High accuracy is wasted if responses are slow, and raw throughput means little if each user’s experience is laggy. Practical systems therefore optimize accuracy, throughput, and interactivity together. This post focuses on throughput and interactivity, and how model-design choices shape both without…

Biomolecular structure prediction and co-folding with models like OpenFold3 are now mainstream, large-scale workloads powering drug discovery and protein design. Increasingly, they’re driven end-to-end by AI agents. For an agent to run that pipeline well, every step needs to be fast and scalable: Multiple Sequence Alignment (MSA) generation, co-folding inference, serving, and multi-GPU scale-out.

Fine-tuning LLMs for financial natural language processing (NLP) is constrained by limited, imbalanced data. Real-world financial news overrepresents earnings and stock movements, while rarer events such as credit-rating changes, product approvals, and labor issues are harder to capture at scale. Synthetic generation can help fill those gaps for trading research, risk modeling, and surveillance…

Agentic systems often face a trade-off between accuracy and cost. The highest-performing proprietary frontier models and harnesses provide top accuracy but are expensive. Fine-tuning offers one way to address this problem. Smaller or more efficient open models starting with lower accuracy are taught to perform better with specific agents. However, fine-tuning requires expertise and hardware for…

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…

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…

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…
