Global Big Data Conference

The GPU maker says its AI platform now has the fastest training record, the fastest inference, and largest training model of its kind to date. Nvidia is touting advancements to its artificial intelligence (AI) technology for language understanding that it said sets new performance records for conversational AI. The GPU maker said its AI platform now has the fastest training record, the fastest inference, and largest training model of its kind to date. By adding key optimizations to its AI platform and GPUs, Nvidia is aiming to become the premier provider of conversational AI services, which it says have been limited up to this point due to a broad inability to deploy large AI models in real time. Unlike the much simpler transactional AI, conversational AI uses context and nuance and the responses are instantaneous, explained Nvidia's vice president of applied deep learning research, Bryan Catanzaro, on a press briefing.
