NVIDIA's AI Factory Platform Powers Next Industrial Revolution

NVIDIA's AI factory platform is revolutionizing the way AI inference is optimized, balancing maximum performance with minimum latency to power the next industrial revolution. These AI factories, massive infrastructures serving millions of users, generate intelligence tokens—the product of AI inference—which are increasingly critical for growing revenue and profits in the AI era.

From One-Shot Inference to Agentic AI

Traditional AI inference involves generating a single set of tokens in response to a prompt, a process known as one-shot inference. However, the rise of Agentic AI has transformed this dynamic. Agentic AI breaks tasks into multiple steps, each requiring different inference techniques, resulting in many sets of tokens to complete a job.

The AI Factory: Scaling Intelligence

AI factories, such as those powered by NVIDIA's Hopper and Blackwell architectures, are the backbone of this transformation. These facilities must balance two competing demands: speed per user and overall system throughput. Scaling to more FLOPS and higher bandwidth allows AI factories to group and process workloads efficiently, but they are ultimately constrained by power availability.

Performance and Efficiency Gains

In a 1-megawatt AI factory, NVIDIA Hopper generates 180,000 tokens per second (TPS) at max volume or 225 TPS for a single user. The NVIDIA Blackwell architecture significantly outperforms Hopper, achieving a 50x improvement in AI reasoning performance with the same energy consumption. This leap is further enhanced by NVIDIA Dynamo, an operating system for AI factories that autonomously optimizes workloads by dynamically routing tasks to the most efficient compute resources.

The Future of AI Factories

With each generational advancement in hardware and software, NVIDIA pushes the boundaries of what AI factories can achieve. These improvements not only boost productivity but also unlock trillions of dollars in value for partners and customers worldwide. From curing diseases to combating climate change, the potential applications of AI factories are limitless.
