The demand for AI continues to accelerate. Workloads are getting larger, models are becoming more complex, and there is mounting pressure to deploy AI compute infrastructure faster than ever. AI factories—data center-scale systems that continuously convert data and energy into intelligence—are being deployed to meet this insatiable demand. This AI factory approach to the data center has…

Developers building 3D, design, simulation, robotics, and industrial digital twin applications need ways to bring physical AI capabilities into the tools and services they already use. Many of these workflows already depend on OpenUSD scenes, simulation-ready (SimReady) assets, Blender-based workflows, CAD pipelines, or domain-specific app stacks. The challenge is how to provide applications and…

A video analytics AI agent that can perceive, reason, and act based on massive amounts of video footage must be integrated with existing workflows and applications to be useful. These include content management systems, messaging platforms, databases, ticket queue, and escalation paths. This integration is challenging because video systems, enterprise knowledge bases…

Agentic AI changes the infrastructure pattern for AI factories. One request can trigger many model calls, tool calls, memory lookups, policy checks, storage accesses, and network transfers before a final answer is produced. As more agents run at once and carry context across steps, users, tools, services, and sessions, infrastructure must move, protect, retrieve, and reuse data fast enough to keep…

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…

OpenUSD is an open, extensible framework that provides a common scene description language for physical AI. It enables teams to bring CAD data, simulation assets, and real-world telemetry into a shared, physically accurate view of the world. Until now, building a USD implementation has typically required adapting a large existing codebase— even for teams that need a specific memory footprint…

For over fifteen years, x86 CPUs have shipped with a dedicated hardware instruction for carryless multiplication. It’s a small but stubborn primitive that sits underneath authenticated encryption, error-correcting codes, and modern zero-knowledge proofs. Until now, NVIDIA GPUs lacked native support for this operation. NVIDIA CUDA 13.3 closes that gap with , a new PTX instruction available on…

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…

Coding AI agents are becoming practical operators for long-running machine learning (ML) workflows. They can inspect repositories, set up runtimes, resolve build issues, launch experiments, monitor execution, analyze metrics, and summarize results. For reinforcement learning (RL) research, this matters because meaningful metrics often appear only after the essential experiment infrastructure…

What if autonomous coding AI agents could push your vision reasoning models above 90% accuracy with almost no manual effort? When adapting vision reasoning models to production video tasks, developers often lose days to data formatting, container setup, training scripts, baseline evaluation, and hyperparameter sweeps before they even know whether post-training improves accuracy.

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). While it is well understood how to run logical operations with surface codes (which belong to the topological code family) via lattice surgery…

Across science, engineering, and finance, many of the most important risks come from low-likelihood, high-impact events. Estimating the probability of these events with brute-force Monte Carlo sampling—running a model repeatedly with randomly drawn inputs to estimate the probability of rare outcomes—can require an excessive volume of model iterations, especially when each sample comes from an…

Large language model (LLM) training workloads increasingly run into GPU memory limits before compute is fully used. Model weights, gradients, optimizer states, communication buffers, and intermediate activations all compete for GPU high-bandwidth memory (HBM). As model size, sequence length, and batch size grow, HBM capacity often becomes the primary scaling bottleneck. This post explains how…

There are many ways to optimize code for GPUs. In this post, you’ll learn how kernel fusion can improve memory bandwidth and reduce kernel launch overhead, along with multiple ways to apply it in NVIDIA CUDA code. A common bottleneck when writing GPU code is that GPU compute is so fast that even high-bandwidth device memory doesn’t use the GPU kernel fully. Kernel fusion addresses this by…

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…

Biomolecular structure prediction and co-folding with models like OpenFold3 are now mainstream, large-scale workloads powering drug discovery and protein design. Increasingly, they’re driven end-to-end by AI agents. For an agent to run that pipeline well, every step needs to be fast and scalable: Multiple Sequence Alignment (MSA) generation, co-folding inference, serving, and multi-GPU scale-out.
