Nvidia says that TensorRT-LLM, an open source software library, will double the H100's performance for running inference on leading large language models. The software is now available in early access. It will be integrated into the Nvidia NeMo LLM framework as part of the Nvidia AI Enterprise software suite when it is released to the public next month. TensorRT-LLM will also support Nvidia's A100, L4, L40, L40, and Grace Hopper Superchip GPUs.

WHY THERE’S NEVER BEEN A BETTER TIME TO BE A CREATOR

The health of the creator economy is judged by the likelihood of someone being able to earn a minimum viable living through being creative. There has never been a better time for creators to be creators. While it may be harder than ever for a creative to earn millions every year, it's easier than ever to make $50,000. Technology has driven the costs of tools down and platforms make it easy to monetize content. It may still not be easy, but there has never been a better time to try.

WHY NVIDIA’S AI SUPREMACY IS ONLY TEMPORARY

Nvidia's top spot in the AI world is far from secure. It is currently winning as almost nobody is running large machine learning apps, the competition hasn't matured, researchers have the purchasing power, and because of the focus on training models. In the near future, inference with CPUs will dominate over training with GPUs, engineers will have more purchasing power, and the focus will be on application costs. The winners of this shift will likely be traditional CPU platforms like x86 and Arm.
