  • NVIDIA TensorRT Boosts Stable Diffusion 3.5 Performance on NVIDIA GeForce RTX and RTX PRO GPUs

    Generative AI has reshaped how people create, imagine and interact with digital content.
    As AI models continue to grow in capability and complexity, they require more VRAM, or video random access memory. The base Stable Diffusion 3.5 Large model, for example, uses over 18GB of VRAM — limiting the number of systems that can run it well.
    By applying quantization to the model, noncritical layers can be removed or run with lower precision. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series and the Ada Lovelace generation of NVIDIA RTX PRO GPUs support FP8 quantization to help run these quantized models, and the latest-generation NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs also add support for FP4.
    NVIDIA collaborated with Stability AI to quantize its latest model, Stable Diffusion3.5 Large, to FP8 — reducing VRAM consumption by 40%. Further optimizations to SD3.5 Large and Medium with the NVIDIA TensorRT software development kitdouble performance.
    In addition, TensorRT has been reimagined for RTX AI PCs, combining its industry-leading performance with just-in-time, on-device engine building and an 8x smaller package size for seamless AI deployment to more than 100 million RTX AI PCs. TensorRT for RTX is now available as a standalone SDK for developers.
    RTX-Accelerated AI
    NVIDIA and Stability AI are boosting the performance and reducing the VRAM requirements of Stable Diffusion 3.5, one of the world’s most popular AI image models. With NVIDIA TensorRT acceleration and quantization, users can now generate and edit images faster and more efficiently on NVIDIA RTX GPUs.
    Stable Diffusion 3.5 quantized FP8generates images in half the time with similar quality as FP16. Prompt: A serene mountain lake at sunrise, crystal clear water reflecting snow-capped peaks, lush pine trees along the shore, soft morning mist, photorealistic, vibrant colors, high resolution.
    To address the VRAM limitations of SD3.5 Large, the model was quantized with TensorRT to FP8, reducing the VRAM requirement by 40% to 11GB. This means five GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs can run the model from memory instead of just one.
    SD3.5 Large and Medium models were also optimized with TensorRT, an AI backend for taking full advantage of Tensor Cores. TensorRT optimizes a model’s weights and graph — the instructions on how to run a model — specifically for RTX GPUs.
    FP8 TensorRT boosts SD3.5 Large performance by 2.3x vs. BF16 PyTorch, with 40% less memory use. For SD3.5 Medium, BF16 TensorRT delivers a 1.7x speedup.
    Combined, FP8 TensorRT delivers a 2.3x performance boost on SD3.5 Large compared with running the original models in BF16 PyTorch, while using 40% less memory. And in SD3.5 Medium, BF16 TensorRT provides a 1.7x performance increase compared with BF16 PyTorch.
    The optimized models are now available on Stability AI’s Hugging Face page.
    NVIDIA and Stability AI are also collaborating to release SD3.5 as an NVIDIA NIM microservice, making it easier for creators and developers to access and deploy the model for a wide range of applications. The NIM microservice is expected to be released in July.
    TensorRT for RTX SDK Released
    Announced at Microsoft Build — and already available as part of the new Windows ML framework in preview — TensorRT for RTX is now available as a standalone SDK for developers.
    Previously, developers needed to pre-generate and package TensorRT engines for each class of GPU — a process that would yield GPU-specific optimizations but required significant time.
    With the new version of TensorRT, developers can create a generic TensorRT engine that’s optimized on device in seconds. This JIT compilation approach can be done in the background during installation or when they first use the feature.
    The easy-to-integrate SDK is now 8x smaller and can be invoked through Windows ML — Microsoft’s new AI inference backend in Windows. Developers can download the new standalone SDK from the NVIDIA Developer page or test it in the Windows ML preview.
    For more details, read this NVIDIA technical blog and this Microsoft Build recap.

  • NVIDIA helps Germany lead Europe’s AI manufacturing race

    Germany and NVIDIA are building possibly the most ambitious European tech project of the decade: the continent’s first industrial AI cloud.NVIDIA has been on a European tour over the past month with CEO Jensen Huang charming audiences at London Tech Week before dazzling the crowds at Paris’s VivaTech. But it was his meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz that might prove the most consequential stop.The resulting partnership between NVIDIA and Deutsche Telekom isn’t just another corporate handshake; it’s potentially a turning point for European technological sovereignty.An “AI factory”will be created with a focus on manufacturing, which is hardly surprising given Germany’s renowned industrial heritage. The facility aims to give European industrial players the computational firepower to revolutionise everything from design to robotics.“In the era of AI, every manufacturer needs two factories: one for making things, and one for creating the intelligence that powers them,” said Huang. “By building Europe’s first industrial AI infrastructure, we’re enabling the region’s leading industrial companies to advance simulation-first, AI-driven manufacturing.”It’s rare to hear such urgency from a telecoms CEO, but Deutsche Telekom’s Timotheus Höttges added: “Europe’s technological future needs a sprint, not a stroll. We must seize the opportunities of artificial intelligence now, revolutionise our industry, and secure a leading position in the global technology competition. Our economic success depends on quick decisions and collaborative innovations.”The first phase alone will deploy 10,000 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs spread across various high-performance systems. That makes this Germany’s largest AI deployment ever; a statement the country isn’t content to watch from the sidelines as AI transforms global industry.A Deloitte study recently highlighted the critical importance of AI technology development to Germany’s future competitiveness, particularly noting the need for expanded data centre capacity. When you consider that demand is expected to triple within just five years, this investment seems less like ambition and more like necessity.Robots teaching robotsOne of the early adopters is NEURA Robotics, a German firm that specialises in cognitive robotics. They’re using this computational muscle to power something called the Neuraverse which is essentially a connected network where robots can learn from each other.Think of it as a robotic hive mind for skills ranging from precision welding to household ironing, with each machine contributing its learnings to a collective intelligence.“Physical AI is the electricity of the future—it will power every machine on the planet,” said David Reger, Founder and CEO of NEURA Robotics. “Through this initiative, we’re helping build the sovereign infrastructure Europe needs to lead in intelligent robotics and stay in control of its future.”The implications of this AI project for manufacturing in Germany could be profound. This isn’t just about making existing factories slightly more efficient; it’s about reimagining what manufacturing can be in an age of intelligent machines.AI for more than just Germany’s industrial titansWhat’s particularly promising about this project is its potential reach beyond Germany’s industrial titans. The famed Mittelstand – the network of specialised small and medium-sized businesses that forms the backbone of the German economy – stands to benefit.These companies often lack the resources to build their own AI infrastructure but possess the specialised knowledge that makes them perfect candidates for AI-enhanced innovation. Democratising access to cutting-edge AI could help preserve their competitive edge in a challenging global market.Academic and research institutions will also gain access, potentially accelerating innovation across numerous fields. The approximately 900 Germany-based startups in NVIDIA’s Inception program will be eligible to use these resources, potentially unleashing a wave of entrepreneurial AI applications.However impressive this massive project is, it’s viewed merely as a stepping stone towards something even more ambitious: Europe’s AI gigafactory. This planned 100,000 GPU-powered initiative backed by the EU and Germany won’t come online until 2027, but it represents Europe’s determination to carve out its own technological future.As other European telecom providers follow suit with their own AI infrastructure projects, we may be witnessing the beginning of a concerted effort to establish technological sovereignty across the continent.For a region that has often found itself caught between American tech dominance and Chinese ambitions, building indigenous AI capability represents more than economic opportunity. Whether this bold project in Germany will succeed remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: Europe is no longer content to be a passive consumer of AI technology developed elsewhere.Want to learn more about AI and big data from industry leaders?

  • This Surprising Kitchen Trend Is Making Designers Ditch Tile

    Here at Country Living, we love to study trends, especially those with timeless appeal. As the Senior Homes and Style Editor, it's my job to track these trends and decide which ones are worth covering and which ones are not, which is exactly why I've been watching the rise of wood paneling the last few years. People are desperate to move away from cold, clinical minimalism and make their homes feel more welcoming and lived-in. I was surprised, though, when I started seeing more and more paneling in the kitchen—not just on the walls, but acting as a backsplash. Below, we're diving into everything you need to know about the material set to replace tile as the designer-preferred kitchen backsplash this year. Related Stories What Types of Wood Paneling Are Trending? Before we get too far, let's be clear: Tile backsplash isn't going anywhere any time soon, and I'm definitely not saying you should rip out all your tile and replace it with wood paneling just because it's popular. Wood paneling offers a fresh alternative to tile that adds a warm layer to a space that can otherwise feel sterile. It's been beloved as an easy way to add character to your walls for decades, and its foray into the kitchen shouldn't be a surprise as cottage kitchens become more and more popular both online and in real life. Before you toss out your tile samples, let's examine which types of paneling might be best for your kitchen. ShiplapLove it or hate it, shiplap is here to stay. This style, made popular by Chip and Joanna Gaines more than a decade ago, offers a classic look, making it perfect for homes regardless of their age or location. If you love this look but want something that feels less ubiquitous, avoid white shiplap and choose a warmer neutral, such as Interactive Cream by Sherwin-Williams or Rhine River by Benjamin Moore. Nickel Gap Paneling Think of nickel gap paneling, which gets its name from the consistent, nickel-width gap between each of the planks, as shiplap's older, more refined cousin. Unlike shiplap, which uses a type of connecting grove called a rabbet joint, nickel gap uses a classic tongue-and-groove joinery system. Once installed, the planks feel more elevated and purposeful than standard shiplap. While any type of wood can be used for nickel gap paneling, inexpensive woods, such as pine and poplar, or even MDF are popular options. BeadboardA longtime favorite in country kitchens, beadboard paneling is full of historic cottage charm.Because beadboard has a raised edge—the "bead" that gives it its name—it's a great way to add texture and a sense of history to a space, and might be the best option if you're trying to add age to a newly built kitchen. Related StoryIs a Wood Backsplash Safe?If you love the lived-in look, then wood backsplash is perfect for you, and when installed with care and paired with the right materials, wood is just as safe as tile. If you have a gas stove, always pair wood backsplash with a fire-safe material such as marble or quartz. This not only keeps your wood backsplash in pristine condition but also protects it from any open flame. If you're using an induction cooktop, feel free to leave your wood backsplash uncovered.

  • NVIDIA and Deutsche Telekom Partner to Advance Germany’s Sovereign AI

    Industrial AI isn’t slowing down. Germany is ready.
    Following London Tech Week and GTC Paris at VivaTech, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang’s European tour continued with a stop in Germany to discuss with Chancellor Friedrich Merz — pictured above — new partnerships poised to bring breakthrough innovations on the world’s first industrial AI cloud.
    This AI factory, to be located in Germany and operated by Deutsche Telekom, will enable Europe’s industrial leaders to accelerate manufacturing applications including design, engineering, simulation, digital twins and robotics.
    “In the era of AI, every manufacturer needs two factories: one for making things, and one for creating the intelligence that powers them,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “By building Europe’s first industrial AI infrastructure, we’re enabling the region’s leading industrial companies to advance simulation-first, AI-driven manufacturing.”
    “Europe’s technological future needs a sprint, not a stroll,” said Timotheus Höttges, CEO of Deutsche Telekom AG. “We must seize the opportunities of artificial intelligence now, revolutionize our industry and secure a leading position in the global technology competition. Our economic success depends on quick decisions and collaborative innovations.”
    This AI infrastructure — Germany’s single largest AI deployment — is an important leap for the nation in establishing its own sovereign AI infrastructure and providing a launchpad to accelerate AI development and adoption across industries. In its first phase, it’ll feature 10,000 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs — spanning NVIDIA DGX B200 systems and NVIDIA RTX PRO Servers — as well as NVIDIA networking and AI software.
    NEURA Robotics’ training center for cognitive robots.
    NEURA Robotics, a Germany-based global pioneer in physical AI and cognitive robotics, will use the computing resources to power its state-of-the-art training centers for cognitive robots — a tangible example of how physical AI can evolve through powerful, connected infrastructure.
    At this work’s core is the Neuraverse, a seamlessly networked robot ecosystem that allows robots to learn from each other across a wide range of industrial and domestic applications. This platform creates an app-store-like hub for robotic intelligence — for tasks like welding and ironing — enabling continuous development and deployment of robotic skills in real-world environments.
    “Physical AI is the electricity of the future — it will power every machine on the planet,” said David Reger, founder and CEO of NEURA Robotics. “Through this initiative, we’re helping build the sovereign infrastructure Europe needs to lead in intelligent robotics and stay in control of its future.”
    Critical to Germany’s competitiveness is AI technology development, including the expansion of data center capacity, according to a Deloitte study. This is strategically important because demand for data center capacity is expected to triple over the next five years to 5 gigawatts.
    Driving Germany’s Industrial Ecosystem
    Deutsche Telekom will operate the AI factory and provide AI cloud computing resources to Europe’s industrial ecosystem.
    Customers will be able to run NVIDIA CUDA-X libraries, as well as NVIDIA RTX- and Omniverse-accelerated workloads from leading software providers such as Siemens, Ansys, Cadence and Rescale.
    Many more stand to benefit. From the country’s robust small- and medium-sized businesses, known as the Mittelstand, to academia, research and major enterprises — the AI factory offers strategic technology leaps.
    A Speedboat Toward AI Gigafactories
    The industrial AI cloud will accelerate AI development and adoption from European manufacturers, driving simulation-first, AI-driven manufacturing practices and helping prepare for the country’s transition to AI gigafactories, the next step in Germany’s sovereign AI infrastructure journey.
    The AI gigafactory initiative is a 100,000 GPU-powered program backed by the European Union, Germany and partners.
    Poised to go online in 2027, it’ll provide state-of-the-art AI infrastructure that gives enterprises, startups, researchers and universities access to accelerated computing through the establishment and expansion of high-performance computing centers.
    As of March, there are about 900 Germany-based members of the NVIDIA Inception program for cutting-edge startups, all of which will be eligible to access the AI resources.
    NVIDIA offers learning courses through its Deep Learning Institute to promote education and certification in AI across the globe, and those resources are broadly available across Germany’s computing ecosystem to offer upskilling opportunities.
    Additional European telcos are building AI infrastructure for regional enterprises to build and deploy agentic AI applications.
