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…

The compute capability of large GPU fleets presents unprecedented opportunities to innovate and provide value to customers in record time. Yet these advancements come with a variety of challenges. At scale, teams are juggling heterogeneous hardware, fast‑moving software stacks, tight power envelopes, and spiky, multitenant workloads. A single hotspot, misconfigured driver, or subtle hardware fault…

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…

NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 introduces a fundamentally new way to build GPU clusters by extending NVIDIA NVLink coherence across an entire rack. This design enables exascale performance, but it also changes the assumptions that many scheduling systems were built on. As a result, “rack-scale locality” becomes a hard constraint. When workloads cross domain boundaries, performance drops sharply…

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…
