Video is a core data path across NVIDIA Jetson applications, from robotics and intelligent video analytics to industrial automation, healthcare, media processing, and remote operations. A system may capture several cameras, decode network streams, run AI inference or conventional vision processing, draw results, and encode video for storage or delivery. The individual calls are…

Long-running AI agents spend most of their time on high-volume execution: tool calls, result validation, and subagent delegation. Using a frontier reasoning model for every execution step adds cost and latency. NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Lightning is an open 30B mixture-of-experts (MoE) model with 3B active parameters built for that execution layer of always-on agents. It is designed for harnesses…

Building an AI agent does not end with choosing a single model. Each model has its own strengths, weaknesses, and cost profile, which can shift from one workload to another—or even within the same workload. For example, an agentic task may need classification for one step, reasoning for the next, and a smaller model for routine follow-up tasks. Sending every request to the largest model can…

Meta returns to the open source ecosystem with the release of Muse Glimmer, a 30B open-weight dense model with a 120K+ context window built for local AI agentic work. Optimized to run across a range of NVIDIA edge, desktop, and workstation AI platforms, Muse Glimmer delivers 20K tokens/sec on a single GPU, enabling always-on agents to process data locally and execute complex…

A central challenge in robotics is building policies that generalize beyond the demonstrations they’re trained on. A policy that succeeds in a training scene often fails when object shapes, positions, or lighting change. Generalizing to these new conditions requires the policy to understand the tasks underlying physics, not just mimic the demonstrations. This ability comes from the backbone it’s…

Atomistic simulation requires three things: knowledge of the science, compute-efficient implementation of simulations, and accessible interfaces to the simulation stack. The first remains the researcher’s domain, as no tool substitutes for knowing what to simulate or recognizing a physically meaningful result. NVIDIA ALCHEMI Toolkit, introduced earlier this year, has dramatically reduced the…

Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP) is a dimensionality reduction technique widely used for visualization and feature extraction. Applications range across exploratory data analysis, topic modeling, and single-cell analysis. Many of these workflows are iterative and exploratory, requiring UMAP to be run repeatedly as users analyze their data or tune parameters. As datasets grow…

Teams customize their models to hit their targets for latency, speed, memory, and compute. With the open NVIDIA Nemotron family of models, developers can find the right-sized model for their needs. The new Nemotron 3.5 Lightning NVFP4 checkpoint, for example, preserves accuracy while unlocking up to 4x faster throughput. It’s compressed down to 22 GB from the 66 GB full precision checkpoint…
