Biomolecular structure prediction is now often run at proteome scale, where the goal is to move an entire worklist through the pipeline efficiently. NVIDIA BioNeMo Inference Runtime (BioIR) helps accelerate supported biomolecular structure-prediction models on NVIDIA GPUs while keeping the familiar PyTorch workflow. It uses optimized kernels and, where applicable, CUDA Graphs to speed model…

Modern AI platforms are no longer a single application behind one login screen. A user may start in a central portal, open a governed dataset, launch a notebook where that data resides, and invoke an assistant that calls services in another cluster. The workflow feels unified, but identity crosses control-plane and data-plane boundaries at every step. That is where conventional single sign-on…

This post is the third in a series on AI model co-design. It explores how to accelerate LLM inference while maintaining accuracy using speculative decoding and offers five guidelines for selecting draft length and draft mechanism across the Pareto frontier. For a discussion of how model design choices impact both throughput and interactivity without sacrificing accuracy, see AI Model Co…

The surge in AI adoption is transforming everything from chatbots to content generation. Still, a common pain point remains: How can organizations confidently size GPU resources for inference workloads and optimize Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)? With a dizzying mix of latency targets, model choices, quirky traffic patterns, and budget constraints, it’s easy to feel lost in the weeds…

AI factories must support increasingly large models and more complex reasoning workloads. To keep up with the insatiable compute demands of AI workloads, hyperscalers and AI-native companies are developing custom AI accelerators, or XPUs. Deploying these accelerators at scale requires high-bandwidth memory (HBM) to keep compute fed, sufficient package and silicon area for more compute…

The massive growth of generative AI has fundamentally altered data center design. As distributed model training scales to span hundreds of thousands of GPUs, the scale-out network connecting these nodes has emerged as a first-order performance bottleneck. For decades, traditional off-the-shelf Ethernet has been the undisputed king of enterprise and cloud networking. It is cheap, standardized…

AI agents have expanded inference from single-turn interactions into multi-step workflows that reason, invoke tools, coordinate subagents, and carry growing context from one turn to the next. The scale of this shift is now visible in raw consumption: across 100 trillion tokens of real-world usage, OpenRouter’s State of AI report found that average prompt tokens per request grew roughly fourfold…

Traditional cloud infrastructure was designed for predictable, general-purpose workloads and standard interfaces. Agentic AI factories connect diverse users, agents, applications, data sources, and storage systems to massively accelerated compute at multi-terabit bandwidth per server, making dedicated DPU processing essential for line-rate networking, storage, and security.

AI factories are interconnected systems where fleet economics depend on how efficiently the entire stack converts power and capital into completed agent tasks. While GPUs run the models, CPUs handle orchestration, tool execution, and sandboxed computation. Unlike conventional computing with stable runtime profiles, agentic workloads are unpredictable and highly variable. Based on telemetry from…

AI factories are power-constrained industrial systems. The question is no longer how many GPUs fit in a data center, but how much AI output each available megawatt can deliver. For AI inference workloads, this makes application-level performance per watt the key metric for measuring AI factory efficiency. Not every megawatt translates to revenue-generating compute. Power distribution, cooling…

Recommender systems (RecSys) are one of the most ubiquitous machine learning problems in the consumer internet industry yet notoriously difficult to train and serve at scale. The advent of LLMs has inspired a shift from the traditional embedding-similarity-based objective to a generative one, where the goal is to predict the next action or item in a large catalog given a sequence of user histories.

Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP) is a dimensionality reduction technique widely used for visualization and feature extraction. Applications range across exploratory data analysis, topic modeling, and single-cell analysis. Many of these workflows are iterative and exploratory, requiring UMAP to be run repeatedly as users analyze their data or tune parameters. As datasets grow…

After its cloud storage provider went defunct, a PBS affiliate decided to sue a data center provider to regain access to 50TB of TV shows, videos, and other data dating back 70 years.

As reported this week by Current, a trade newspaper covering public broadcasting, St. Louis affiliate Nine PBS filed a lawsuit against Iron Mountain Data Centers on July 28, seeking access to the data. In the litigation filed in Denver District Court, Nine PBS says that its cloud storage provider, Open Source Storage (OSS), used one of Iron Mountain’s Denver data centers to store the channel’s data. However, OSS is being unresponsive, and Nine PBS says Iron Mountain has refused to release its data.

The data in question includes the station’s coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic, East St. Louis’ history, The Great Flood of 1993, and over 11,000 files, The Denver Post reported in July. The lawsuit claims that “most” of the data is “unique and irreplaceable,” according to the Post.

AI infrastructure spans multiple layers, from compute and networking to storage, orchestration, and applications. When performance degrades, identifying the source can be difficult because a symptom observed at one layer may originate elsewhere in the stack. A full-stack observability strategy connects telemetry across these layers, helping infrastructure and operations teams detect problems…

Storage is an active part of every agentic AI workflow. As agents retrieve enterprise knowledge, access persistent memory, reuse key-value (KV) cache data, execute tools, and generate new results, storage systems must continuously supply and preserve the data that moves the agent reasoning loop. Each agent step can trigger multiple storage operations, and those operations can repeat across…

Running a dedicated Kubernetes cluster per team often results in more isolation than an organization requires. While one cluster can be successfully shared across many teams, the coordination costs increase as the number of teams grows. Challenges include conflicting CRD versions, overlapping RBAC, and no clean way to carve GPU capacity into team-level budgets. At a certain scale…
