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…

For years, a Python developer who needed a GPU had two realistic choices: Learn NVIDIA CUDA C++ well enough to write an extension, set up a build toolchain, and maintain bindings back to Python, which most people never did; or move up the stack and let someone else’s library do it, namely PyTorch, CuPy, or RAPIDS. The second option is why the Python GPU ecosystem thrives. But it has limits.

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…

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.

NVIDIA Holoscan is a platform for building real-time AI applications at the edge, from medical imaging to robotics. HoloHub is its companion repository: a growing collection of reference applications and components that demonstrate what’s possible. We wanted to explore how a general-purpose coding agent could use the same examples, documentation, and development tools available to an engineer…

Atomistic simulation requires three things: knowledge of the science, compute-efficient implementation of simulations, and accessible interfaces to the simulation stack. The first remains the researcher’s domain, as no tool substitutes for knowing what to simulate or recognizing a physically meaningful result. NVIDIA ALCHEMI Toolkit, introduced earlier this year, has dramatically reduced the…

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…

Autonomous vehicle (AV) development often relies on separate models for trajectory generation, high-level intent prediction, scene understanding, and data labeling. This separation makes it hard to compare related outputs, investigate model behavior, and reuse the same representations across the development workflow.

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…

The demand for high-quality video continues to accelerate across industries, powering everything from immersive streaming experiences to remote collaboration, generative AI media tools, and large-scale content delivery. Behind these experiences is a growing need for video pipelines that are faster, more efficient, and capable of handling increasingly complex formats and workloads.

Two AI computing clusters built from identical NVIDIA H100, GB200 NVL72, or GB300 NVL72 systems can deliver materially different training throughput. We routinely see 8% to 12% gaps between partner deployments and the corresponding NVIDIA reference architecture (RA) on the same workload, same model, same global batch size. The cause is often a stack of configuration choices in the kernel…

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…

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…

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).

Across science, engineering, and finance, many of the most important risks come from low-likelihood, high-impact events.

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…
