NVIDIA ACE Revolutionizes Digital Humans: Now Available for Cloud and RTX AI PCs

Taipei, Taiwan (COMPUTEX ) – NVIDIA today dropped some serious knowledge bombs about the future of AI. We’re talking next-level generative AI for digital humans with the general availability of NVIDIA ACE for cloud deployments and early access for RTX AI PCs. This isn’t just some pie-in-the-sky tech demo either; big hitters like Dell Technologies, ServiceNow, Aww Inc., Inventec, and Perfect World Games are already jumping on board.

ACE for Realistic and Interactive Digital Humans:

Okay, so what makes ACE so special? Imagine a world where you can’t tell the difference between a real human and a digital one. That’s what NVIDIA is aiming for with ACE, a freakin’ awesome suite of generative AI technologies designed to make crazy-realistic digital humans a reality. Check out this lineup:

Available Now:

• NVIDIA Riva ASR, TTS, and NMT: This trio is all about communication, enabling automatic speech recognition that actually works, text-to-speech that doesn’t sound like a robot from the ’80s, and real-time translation because the world is a multilingual place, yo.
• NVIDIA Nemotron LLM: This bad boy is the brains of the operation, powering language understanding and generating responses that make actual sense in context. We’re talking natural conversations, folks, not just pre-programmed responses.
• NVIDIA Audio2Face: Remember those awkward, stiff animations from early video games? Yeah, those days are over. Audio2Face generates crazy-realistic facial animation from audio tracks, bringing digital humans to life in a way that’ll blow your mind.
• NVIDIA Omniverse RTX: Get ready for some eye candy. We’re talkin’ real-time, path-traced rendering that makes skin and hair look so real, you’ll want to reach out and touch it (but please don’t touch your screen).

Coming Soon:

• NVIDIA Audio2Gesture: Forget canned animations, this tech automatically generates expressive body gestures that sync perfectly with audio tracks, because who uses their hands to talk in real life?
• NVIDIA Nemotron- 4.5B: Think of this as a supercharged brain for your digital human. This new small language model (SLM) is optimized for crazy-fast performance on RTX AI PCs, so you get cloud-like accuracy without the cloud.

Bringing Digital Humans to Million RTX AI PCs:

NVIDIA isn’t just keeping this tech locked up in some server farm. They’re bringing the power of ACE to over one hundred million RTX AI PCs. That’s right, your gaming rig could soon be hosting the next generation of digital humans. Here’s the deal:

Early Access to On-Device AI Models:

• NVIDIA Nemotron- 4.5B SLM: This little beast is available now in early access, so you can start tinkering with on-device inference and see what all the hype is about.
• NVIDIA Audio2Face & NVIDIA Riva ASR: Don’t worry, these on-device models are coming soon in early access, so you can experience the full power of ACE without needing a supercomputer.

Simplified Deployment with NVIDIA AI Inference Manager:

Deploying complex AI models can be a real pain, but NVIDIA is making it easier with the NVIDIA AI Inference Manager. This new SDK is like a personal assistant for your AI models, preconfiguring everything and seamlessly orchestrating AI inference between your PC and the cloud. It’s like having a tech team on call hours a day, but without the awkward small talk.

Real-World Applications of ACE:

Okay, enough with the tech jargon, let’s talk real-world stuff. ACE isn’t just some cool tech demo; it’s already making waves in a bunch of industries. Check out how these companies are using ACE to level up their game:

• Aww Inc.: You know Imma, the virtual influencer who’s taking the internet by storm? Her creators are using ACE Audio2Face to give her crazy-realistic real-time animation. Get ready for even more mind-blowing Imma content, folks.
• Perfect World Games: Remember that “Legends” tech demo that blew everyone away? Yeah, that’s powered by ACE. We’re talking AI-powered NPCs that you can have actual conversations with, and not just in English, but in multiple languages. The future of gaming is here, and it’s powered by AI.
• Inventec: Healthcare is getting a major upgrade with ACE. Inventec is using ACE Audio2Face to make their VRSTATE healthcare AI agent way more engaging. Imagine having a virtual consultation with a doctor who actually looks and sounds human. That’s the power of ACE.
• ServiceNow: Say goodbye to frustrating customer service calls! ServiceNow is showing the world how ACE can revolutionize customer and employee interactions with generative AI service agents. Who knows, you might even enjoy talking to customer service in the future.
• Dell Technologies: Dell is jumping on the AI bandwagon with their Dell Generative AI Solution for Digital Assistants. This bad boy is powered by ACE and will let businesses across industries deploy intelligent digital assistants. Get ready for a future where your assistant is as smart as your phone (and maybe even smarter).

NVIDIA Showcases the Power of Generative AI at COMPUTEX:

NVIDIA didn’t just talk the talk at COMPUTEX; they walked the walk. They unveiled a mind-blowing “digital Jensen” avatar, created using next-level generative AI tools like Synthesia and Hour One. This multilingual avatar had everyone doing a double-take with its realistic speech and voice, all thanks to ElevenLabs’ AI tech. This wasn’t just a cool demo; it was a glimpse into the future of AI-powered content creation. Buckle up, folks, things are about to get wild.

Availability:

Alright, I know you’re itching to get your hands on this tech. Here’s the deal:

• ACE NIM microservices for server deployments, including Riva and Audio2Face, are available right now with enterprise support through NVIDIA AI Enterprise software. That’s right, no waiting lists, no beta programs, you can start building the future of digital humans today.
• Can’t wait to get ACE running on your RTX AI PC? Early access for ACE NIM microservices on RTX AI PCs is open for registration. Sign up now and be one of the first to experience the power of ACE on your own machine.

The Future of Digital Interaction
