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 AI to scale any model securely.

Reinforcement learning (RL) is central to aligning language models, from reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF) within AI assistants to newer reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) workflows for reasoning and agent tasks. RL is now becoming a practical technique for specialized AI where enterprises need more accurate agents for domain-specific workflows.

GPU-accelerated query engines are often constrained by memory and I/O bandwidth. NVIDIA hardware advances—including high bandwidth memory (HBM), NVIDIA NVLink-C2C, and dedicated decompression engines featured in NVIDIA GB200 NVL4—help remove these bottlenecks by increasing effective storage capacity, accelerating data movement between CPUs and GPUs, and speeding data access without consuming streaming multiprocessor (SM) resources.

NVIDIA Ominverse NuRec is a neural reconstruction pipeline for building high-fidelity 3D representations of real-world environments from multisensor data such as cameras and lidar. It is used to reconstruct dynamic scenes captured by autonomous vehicle (AV) and robotics platforms into simulation-ready digital environments that can be rendered, replayed, and analyzed inside NVIDIA Omniverse and related simulation workflows.

AI agents are quickly moving beyond chat. They inspect code, run tests, read documents, search knowledge bases, query internal systems, and operate for hours on behalf of a user. This unlocks productivity, but can also give agents access to sensitive enterprise data and the ability to complete tasks and take action across business systems, making a secure, governed environment essential.

AI agents have changed a lot in the last two years. The first could only answer one question at a time. Then came multi-turn chat, where the model could keep some context across a session. Today, we have long-horizon agents. Systems that plan many steps, split work between sub-agents, keep context across a long task, and run tools in a safe sandbox. The NVIDIA AI-Q Blueprint is an open source reference for this kind of agent. It is built on LangChain Deep Agents and the NVIDIA NeMo Agent Toolkit.

As context windows grow longer, moving large model weights efficiently becomes critical to performance. A common way to address this is quantization, an optimization technique that compresses model weights into a smaller data format. One quantization format is NVFP4, an innovative 4-bit floating point introduced with NVIDIA Blackwell architecture. That’s the approach behind our new Nemotron 3 Ultra NVFP4 checkpoint: we quantized the model into NVFP4 using NVIDIA Model Optimizer.

Shaders are GPU programs that process visual data—such as rays, pixels, geometry, and textures—to produce specific rendering effects. Shaders find necessary data through a process called resource binding. CPU code orchestrates the creation of GPU resources such as textures and memory buffers and then carefully arranges for shader code to access them through a binding protocol.

Generative AI workloads are rapidly outgrowing the memory and compute budget of single GPUs. For inference developers building media generation pipelines, the challenge is scaling across multiple devices without sacrificing the critical optimizations—like kernel fusions, memory planning, and quantization—that NVIDIA TensorRT delivers for production deployments.

AI companions in games have long been constrained by scripted behavior trees and fixed dialogue. PUBG Ally is a different kind of system. Built by KRAFTON for PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, this AI teammate is powered by NVIDIA ACE and its suite of efficient models and tooling. PUBG Ally uses automatic speech recognition, a 2B-parameter small language model, and text-to-speech to understand player voice, reason through game context and dynamic events, and respond in real time.
