Evaluating an AI model and evaluating an AI agent are related—but they answer fundamentally different questions. A model benchmark tests the capability of a foundation model (how well it understands language, follows instructions, or solves problems on static tasks). An agent evaluation tests the behavior of a system operating end-to-end—planning, calling tools, handling uncertainty…

Agentic inference has fundamentally changed the runtime dynamics of inference workloads by introducing non-deterministic trajectories—actions, observations, and decisions that an AI agent produces while working through a task. These trajectories compound end-to-end latency across hundreds of inference requests per session. NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 handles the bulk of that inference load as…

In today’s data-driven world, organizations increasingly rely on video to capture critical information, yet extracting meaningful, real-time insights from massive amounts of footage remains a challenge. NVIDIA Metropolis Blueprint for video search and summarization (VSS) overcomes this hurdle by transforming millions of live video streams or hours of recorded video into instantly searchable…

The path from a trained AI model to production should be smooth, but rarely is. Many teams invest weeks fine-tuning models, only to discover that exporting to a deployment format breaks layers, input shapes cause runtime failures, or version mismatches silently degrade performance. These issues are collectively known as pipeline friction, and they cost organizations time, money…

Bash is one of the most flexible and powerful interfaces exposed to AI agents. In the right system, a model that emits , , , or a shell pipeline is producing an executable action that can read files, mutate a workspace, open network connections, and chain tools together. For the NVIDIA AI Red Team, this makes command generation a useful research target. If smaller language models can be guided…

An agentic exchange must preserve a structured interaction: assistant turns interleave reasoning with one or more tool calls, and subsequent user turns return the corresponding tool results to the model context. Reasoning replay is model- and turn-dependent: some reasoning should be retained, while some should be dropped. The inference engine is responsible for supporting this more expressive…

This post is the second of a three-part series. See also Model Quantization: Concepts, Methods, and Why It Matters and Model Quantization: Turn FP8 Checkpoints into High-Performance Inference Engines with NVIDIA TensorRT. Model quantization is an effective method to reduce VRAM usage and improve inference performance on consumer devices such as NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPUs.

The automotive cockpit is undergoing a fundamental shift from rule-based interfaces to agentic, multimodal AI systems capable of reasoning, planning, and acting. In most vehicles on the road today, in-vehicle assistants still rely on fixed command-response patterns: interpret a phrase, trigger an action, reset. While effective for well-defined tasks, this approach doesn’t scale to modern…

Generative AI’s explosive first chapter was defined by humans sending requests and models responding. The agentic chapter is different. Agents don’t follow a pre-determined sequence of actions. They call tools, spawn sub-agents with different tasks and models, retain information in memory, manage their own context window, and decide for themselves when they’re finished. In doing so…

Modern supply chains operate under the constant pressures of fluctuating demand, volatile costs, constrained capacity, and interdependent decision-making. Traditionally, specialized operations research (OR) teams solved these problems by translating business questions into mathematical models. This process can take weeks and often produces fragile solutions that struggle to adapt when conditions…

Neural network techniques are increasingly used in computer graphics to boost image quality, improve performance, and streamline content creation. Approaches like super resolution, denoising, and neural rendering help real-time engines work more efficiently, offering new creative possibilities while keeping performance in mind. Unreal Engine 5 (UE5) has taken several steps in this direction…
