The key to good woodworking is to keep all cutters and knives sharp. Also key? Don’t wreck them beyond repair. I held a whole-shop machine tuneup day recently. No work, just...

Agentic inference has fundamentally changed the runtime dynamics of inference workloads by introducing non-deterministic trajectories—actions, observations…

The path from a trained AI model to production should be smooth, but rarely is. Many teams invest weeks fine-tuning models, only to discover that exporting to a…

In today’s data-driven world, organizations increasingly rely on video to capture critical information, yet extracting meaningful, real-time insights from…

A massive-scale X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) enables tracking structural and electron dynamics in novel systems, including fusion materials, semiconductors…

This outdoor kitchen keeps everything needed for an outdoor gathering close at hand. If you live in the Midwest, you’ll know that we’re a get-together type of people. I’m sure...

After years of fumbling with clamps, I decided there must be a better way to attach featherboards to my tablesaw’s rip fence. Two T-tracks screwed to the fence allow me...

The compute capability of large GPU fleets presents unprecedented opportunities to innovate and provide value to customers in record time.

Bash is one of the most flexible and powerful interfaces exposed to AI agents. In the right system, a model that emits , , , or a shell pipeline is producing an…

An agentic exchange must preserve a structured interaction: assistant turns interleave reasoning with one or more tool calls, and subsequent user turns return…

Model quantization is an effective method to reduce VRAM usage and improve inference performance on consumer devices such as NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPUs.

Cut precision joints on a large top. Breadboard ends are old devices for improving a solid-wood top. They act like cleats to hold the top flat, which is particularly important...

Distributed deep learning depends on fast, reliable GPU-to-GPU communication using the NVIDIA Collective Communication Library (NCCL). When training slows down…

Can we shed the bonds of bourgeois morality and look self-annihilation in the face?

Last week I returned from a trip that involved a lot of firsts for me. First time in Asia, first time attending an international trade show, first time seeing a...

The automotive cockpit is undergoing a fundamental shift from rule-based interfaces to agentic, multimodal AI systems capable of reasoning, planning, and acting.

Generative AI’s explosive first chapter was defined by humans sending requests and models responding. The agentic chapter is different. Agents don’t follow a…

Modern supply chains operate under the constant pressures of fluctuating demand, volatile costs, constrained capacity, and interdependent decision-making.

Today, game developers can begin integrating NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 with Dynamic Multi Frame Generation, Multi Frame Generation 6X, and the second-generation…
