Video is a core data path across NVIDIA Jetson applications, from robotics and intelligent video analytics to industrial automation, healthcare, media processing, and remote operations. A system may capture several cameras, decode network streams, run AI inference or conventional vision processing, draw results, and encode video for storage or delivery. The individual calls are…

As agentic and long-context workloads become common, the context lengths increase and attention consumes a larger share of inference time (Figure 1). Because attention now dominates that cost, how it is designed—not just how it is implemented—increasingly determines a model’s inference performance. Shaping model architecture around how GPUs execute it is the premise of AI model co-design.

Every byte moved has a cost. As model checkpoints grow to hundreds of gigabytes or even a terabyte, that cost adds up quickly. To make things even worse, moving these model weights around the cluster is extremely common. For instance, a cold start may pull weights from remote storage into GPU memory; autoscaling and rolling updates must populate each new replica; and RL post-training continuously…

What began as discrete AI model training and human-facing chat interfaces has evolved into always-on AI factories dedicated to producing intelligence at scale. These factories are now tasked with powering agentic workflows that reason, plan, use tools, verify intermediate results, and execute complex multistep tasks across vast contexts. Agentic workloads are not defined by a single prompt…

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…

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…

AI has transformed how organizations operate, driving unprecedented levels of productivity and innovation. However, AI adoption can be impeded by concerns surrounding data privacy, sovereignty and how to secure data while it is in use, or during inference and engagement with AI models. NVIDIA Confidential Computing (CC) was engineered to be a secure and performant solution for the era of agentic…

Power can account for 40% of the operating expenses (OpEx) to run an AI factory. Each watt can be spent on overhead, data ingestion, training, or generating tokens for customers. And most sites are capped at a fixed power level provided by a regional provider. Under these conditions, performance per watt becomes a key efficiency metric that directly translates to token costs.

As AI systems move from single-turn interactions to coordinated multiagent workflows, low-latency inference becomes increasingly important. Autoregressive LLMs generate tokens sequentially, which can limit GPU utilization and constrain throughput in latency-sensitive serving scenarios. Speculative decoding helps mitigate this bottleneck by using a lightweight model to draft future tokens…

When AlphaFold2 revolutionized drug discovery in 2020, its success relied entirely on the roughly 170,000 protein structures collected by scientists since 1971 and preserved in the Protein Data Bank. Measured data is the backbone for all AI models and workflows that process data as it’s created, act on what matters in real time, and analyzes data for deep insights. With the current rise of modern…

AI agents have fundamentally changed the complexity of inference workloads. Until now, the industry has struggled to define a standard for measuring how inference systems perform under these conditions. Artificial Analysis AgentPerf (AA-AgentPerf) offers the industry’s first multi-vendor open benchmarks profiling trajectories that are representative of real-world AI agent coding tasks.

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…

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…
