More Performance From Every Byte: How Full-Stack Codesign Solves AI’s Memory Challenge

Larger models, longer contexts and agentic applications are increasing GPU memory pressure while supply tightens and prices rise — a trend expected to continue through the near term. NVIDIA works closely with memory partners to rapidly adopt the latest memory technologies. NVIDIA was first to adopt HBM3e and HBM4 technologies into an accelerated computing stack. But the approach isn’t to simply pack more memory onto the GPU. It’s full-stack...

What everyone talks about is quantum: when energy goes in steps rather than flowing seamlessly

Quantum computers, quantum encryption, quantum chips, even "quantum" water purifiers or cosmetics. This word appears everywhere, so much so that the United Nations chose 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, marking 100 years of the birth of modern quantum mechanics. But its core idea is quite easy to imagine: in a very small world, energy does not flow seamlessly like water but in certain small parts. The word...

NVIDIA Shows 3 Ways to Speed Up MoE Inference on DGX Spark, Lifting Ling-3.0-flash Throughput 42.5%

NVIDIA’s latest technical blog shows how to speed up mixture-of-experts (MoE) inference on one DGX Spark. The test model is Ant Group inclusionAI’s Ling-3.0-flash, a 124B-parameter MoE with 5.1B active parameters. NVIDIA stacked three optimizations: a new MoE kernel backend, an FP8 output layer and built-in speculative decoding. On all 1,319 GSM8K questions, decode throughput rose 42.5% with no statistically detectable accuracy change. So...

AI Is Changing How Semiconductor Fabs Work — and Engineers Are Moving Faster Because of It

Demand for advanced chips is rising. The processes to build them are getting more complex. And the margin for error is shrinking. For engineers, understanding how a process change will behave, how a material will interact with a new step, how a defect maps back to a root cause are critical, challenging steps in semiconductor manufacturing — and these analyses can take days. Physical experiments on a fab line are slow and expensive. A wrong...

Cities Worldwide Build and Scale AI Services With NVIDIA Physical and Agentic AI

Cities generate enormous amounts of data from cameras, sensors and operational systems, but turning it into useful action — for planning, maintenance and public services — remains a challenge. Physical and agentic AI offer new ways to close that gap, from digital twins for infrastructure planning to vision and service agents, while keeping local governments in control of how sensitive data is processed and used. Building on initiatives...

How AI Is Changing the Pace of Discovery for Millions Living With Dementia

There are 57 million people worldwide living with dementia today. For the researchers working to help them, the obstacle isn’t a lack of effort — it’s too much data, too few experts to synthesize it and a pace of discovery that can’t keep up with the disease. The Consortium for Biomedical Research and AI in Neurodegeneration (C-BRAIN), working with NVIDIA, is using AI to change that. Alzheimer’s disease is one of today’s leading global...

Things That Go Beep in the Night: Agentic AI Joins the Search for Extraterrestrial Signals

While science fiction lore tells us that humans will meet extraterrestrial life in the form of little green men, the detail that should raise hairs this Halloween is this: the search for extraterrestrial intelligence took a major leap forward with AI, and it increasingly focuses on AI agents built by humans listening for AI agents built by aliens. Some scientists have suggested that extraterrestrial civilizations, if they exist, could be...

How long is Moore's Law still true: transistors still increase, but the doubling rate has slowed down

In 1971, the Intel 4004 microprocessor contained 2,300 transistors. In 2024, NVIDIA's Blackwell GPU contains 208 billion transistors. That roughly 90 million-fold increase is often associated with a name: Moore's Law, the observation that the number of transistors on a chip doubles roughly every two years. Despite the name of the law, this is just an experimental observation, and since around 2010 the doubling rate has slowed down. *Gordon...
