Overview

What Is AI Inference?

AI inference is where pretrained AI models are deployed to generate new data and is where AI delivers results, powering innovation across every industry. AI models are rapidly expanding in size, complexity, and diversity—pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. For the successful use of AI inference, organizations need a full-stack approach that supports the end-to-end AI life cycle and tools that enable teams to meet their goals.

Hardware

Explore Our AI Inference Infrastructure

Get unmatched AI performance with NVIDIA AI inference software optimized for NVIDIA-accelerated infrastructure. The NVIDIA H200, L40S, and NVIDIA RTX™ technologies deliver exceptional speed and efficiency for AI inference workloads across data centers, clouds, and workstations.

NVIDIA H200 Tensor Core GPU

The NVIDIA H200 Tensor Core GPU supercharges generative AI and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads with game-changing performance and memory capabilities. As the first GPU with HBM3e, the H200’s larger and faster memory fuels the acceleration of generative AI and large language models (LLMs) while advancing scientific computing for HPC workloads.

NVIDIA L40S GPU

Combining NVIDIA’s full stack of inference serving software with the L40S GPU provides a powerful platform for trained models ready for inference. With support for structural sparsity and a broad range of precisions, the L40S delivers up to 1.7X the inference performance of the NVIDIA A100 Tensor Core GPU.

NVIDIA RTX Technology

NVIDIA RTX technology brings AI to visual computing, accelerating creativity by automating tasks and optimizing compute-intensive processes. With the power of CUDA® cores, RTX enhances real-time rendering, AI, graphics, and compute performance.

Use Cases

How AI Inference Is Being Used

See how NVIDIA AI supports industry use cases, and jump-start your AI development with curated examples.

Digital Humans

NVIDIA ACE is a suite of technologies that help developers bring digital humans to life. Several ACE microservices are NVIDIA NIMs—easy-to-deploy, high-performance microservices, optimized to run on NVIDIA RTX AI PCs or NVIDIA Graphics Delivery Network (GDN), a global network of GPUs that delivers low-latency digital human processing to 100 countries. 

Content Generation

With generative AI, you can generate highly relevant, bespoke, and accurate content, grounded in the domain expertise and proprietary IP of your enterprise.

Biomolecular Generation

Biomolecular generative models and the computational power of GPUs efficiently explore the chemical space, rapidly generating diverse sets of small molecules tailored to specific drug targets or properties.

Fraud Detection

Financial institutions need to detect and prevent sophisticated fraudulent activities, such as identity theft, account takeover, and money laundering. AI-enabled applications can reduce false positives in transaction fraud detection, enhance identity verification accuracy for know-your-customer (KYC) requirements, and make anti-money laundering (AML) efforts more effective, improving both the customer experience and your company’s financial health.

AI Chatbot

Organizations are looking to build smarter AI chatbots using retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). With RAG, chatbots can accurately answer domain-specific questions by retrieving information from an organization’s knowledge base and providing real-time responses in natural language. These chatbots can be used to enhance customer support, personalize AI avatars, manage enterprise knowledge, streamline employee onboarding, provide intelligent IT support, create content, and more.

Security Vulnerability Analysis

Patching software security issues is becoming progressively more challenging as the number of reported security flaws in the common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVE) database hit a record high in 2022. Using generative AI, it’s possible to improve vulnerability defense while decreasing the load on security teams.
