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…

Building a great AI agent isn’t just about choosing the right models. The harness is the architecture surrounding the model. How it renders context, executes actions, manages state, and decides when a task is done shapes outcomes just as much as the model itself. Harness design alone can account for double-digit swings in benchmark results and significant differences in token cost…

Modern chip design is increasingly limited by engineering time. Register transfer level (RTL) development and verification require specialized hardware knowledge, precise reasoning, and repeated interaction with electronic design automation (EDA) tools. LLMs have accelerated code generation, and AI agents extend their impact by using verification feedback to iteratively correct errors.

Customization is what enables developers to take a general model and tailor it to use cases, domains, languages, and more. However, customization comes with a few challenges. It requires infrastructure, technical expertise, and software specific to the workflow, as well as resources such as GPUs and the ability to use them effectively. It also depends on specialized domain knowledge: What…

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…

Frontier model pre-training has converged on mixture of experts (MoE), which is fundamentally changing what limits large-scale AI training. As compute per token falls, communication increasingly determines how efficiently models scale across thousands of GPUs. NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 set a world record for pre-training DeepSeek-V3 671B at 1,648 TFLOPs per GPU, showing how advances across the entire AI…

Agentic AI shifts more of the critical execution path onto the CPU. Agents operate in sandboxes to execute code, invoke tools, retrieve context, interact with databases, and analyze results before returning information to the model. As these loops run concurrently across an AI factory, CPU performance increasingly shapes both per-agent responsiveness and overall factory throughput.

Agentic systems often face a trade-off between accuracy and cost. The highest-performing proprietary frontier models and harnesses provide top accuracy but are expensive. Fine-tuning offers one way to address this problem. Smaller or more efficient open models starting with lower accuracy are taught to perform better with specific agents. However, fine-tuning requires expertise and hardware for…

Agentic systems turn model reasoning into action through multi-step workflows that combine inference, tool use, code execution, retrieval, orchestration, and result handling. As these systems scale across the AI factory, performance depends not only on GPU acceleration, but also on the CPU work that happens between model steps. Across the creation and deployment of an agentic system…

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…

NVIDIA delivered a clean sweep in MLPerf Training v6.0, the latest edition of industry-standard AI training benchmarks developed by the MLCommons consortium. NVIDIA achieved the fastest time to train at scale, and also delivered the highest performance when normalized on a per-accelerator basis on every benchmark. It was also the only platform to submit on every test.

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.

As enterprise AI adoption scales, developers are increasingly forced to stitch together fragmented pipelines—separate models for text, vision, and code—leading to added complexity, higher costs, and slower iteration. MiniMax M3—available on NVIDIA accelerated infrastructure, including NVIDIA Blackwell—changes this by enabling a single multimodal system capable of long-context reasoning…

Single-turn chatbots are evolving into long-running agents that can reason, maintain context, use tools, and run efficiently across many turns to complete complex workflows. However, these multi-agent workflows cause token counts to grow quickly. Agents plan, call tools, invoke sub-agents, receive information, and then pass history, outputs, and reasoning steps back into the model…

Developing autonomous vehicle (AV) policies requires bridging an important gap between training and deployment. Vision-language-action (VLA) models that can reason over more complex driving scenes and produce richer intermediate reasoning are predominantly trained in open-loop, where model outputs are directly compared to ground-truth behaviors without considering their effect on the environment.

In production inference deployments, demand fluctuates over time, requiring inference replicas to scale elastically. However, cold-starting inference workloads on Kubernetes can take several minutes. During that time, GPUs are allocated but idle, generating no tokens and serving no requests. This delay increases the risk of service level agreement (SLA) violations during traffic spikes…
