Technical
Tensor Cores
Tensor Cores are specialized hardware units inside modern NVIDIA GPUs that perform matrix multiply-and-accumulate operations extremely fast.
TechnicalHigh Bandwidth Memory
High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) is stacked memory placed right next to the GPU that delivers data far faster than ordinary RAM.
TechnicalNVLink and GPU Interconnects
NVLink and related interconnects are the high-speed links that let many GPUs talk to each other directly and quickly.
Audio AISpeaker Diarization
Speaker diarization answers the question "who spoke when?" by splitting an audio recording into segments labeled by speaker identity.
Audio AISpeaker Verification
Speaker verification confirms whether a voice matches a specific claimed identity, acting as a voice-based password.
Audio AIVoice Activity Detection
Voice Activity Detection (VAD) decides, moment by moment, whether an audio signal contains human speech or just silence and noise.
Language AIGrounding and Citations
Grounding ties an AI's answers to specific source documents instead of letting it answer from memory alone, and citations show exactly which sources backed…
Language AILLM-as-a-Judge
LLM-as-a-judge uses one language model to score or compare the outputs of another, automating quality evaluation that used to require human raters.
Language AIGuardrails and Output Moderation
Guardrails are the safety checks wrapped around a language model to keep its inputs and outputs within acceptable bounds, blocking harmful, off-topic…
Audio AISinging Voice Synthesis
Singing Voice Synthesis (SVS) is AI that turns a written melody and lyrics into a fully sung vocal performance.
Audio AIAudioLM
AudioLM is a Google research framework that generates realistic audio — speech or piano music — by treating sound like a language and predicting it token…
Audio AIMusicGen
MusicGen is Meta's AI model that generates music from a text description, and optionally a melody you hum or upload.
