• Plug and Play: Build a G-Assist Plug-In Today

    Project G-Assist — available through the NVIDIA App — is an experimental AI assistant that helps tune, control and optimize NVIDIA GeForce RTX systems.
    NVIDIA’s Plug and Play: Project G-Assist Plug-In Hackathon — running virtually through Wednesday, July 16 — invites the community to explore AI and build custom G-Assist plug-ins for a chance to win prizes and be featured on NVIDIA social media channels.

    G-Assist allows users to control their RTX GPU and other system settings using natural language, thanks to a small language model that runs on device. It can be used from the NVIDIA Overlay in the NVIDIA App without needing to tab out or switch programs. Users can expand its capabilities via plug-ins and even connect it to agentic frameworks such as Langflow.
    Below, find popular G-Assist plug-ins, hackathon details and tips to get started.
    Plug-In and Win
    Join the hackathon by registering and checking out the curated technical resources.
    G-Assist plug-ins can be built in several ways, including with Python for rapid development, with C++ for performance-critical apps and with custom system interactions for hardware and operating system automation.
    For those that prefer vibe coding, the G-Assist Plug-In Builder — a ChatGPT-based app that allows no-code or low-code development with natural language commands — makes it easy for enthusiasts to start creating plug-ins.
    To submit an entry, participants must provide a GitHub repository, including source code file, requirements.txt, manifest.json, config.json, a plug-in executable file and READme code.
    Then, submit a video — between 30 seconds and two minutes — showcasing the plug-in in action.
    Finally, hackathoners must promote their plug-in using #AIonRTXHackathon on a social media channel: Instagram, TikTok or X. Submit projects via this form by Wednesday, July 16.
    Judges will assess plug-ins based on three main criteria: 1) innovation and creativity, 2) technical execution and integration, reviewing technical depth, G-Assist integration and scalability, and 3) usability and community impact, aka how easy it is to use the plug-in.
    Winners will be selected on Wednesday, Aug. 20. First place will receive a GeForce RTX 5090 laptop, second place a GeForce RTX 5080 GPU and third a GeForce RTX 5070 GPU. These top three will also be featured on NVIDIA’s social media channels, get the opportunity to meet the NVIDIA G-Assist team and earn an NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute self-paced course credit.
    Project G-Assist requires a GeForce RTX 50, 40 or 30 Series Desktop GPU with at least 12GB of VRAM, Windows 11 or 10 operating system, a compatible CPU, specific disk space requirements and a recent GeForce Game Ready Driver or NVIDIA Studio Driver.
    Plug-InExplore open-source plug-in samples available on GitHub, which showcase the diverse ways on-device AI can enhance PC and gaming workflows.

    Popular plug-ins include:

    Google Gemini: Enables search-based queries using Google Search integration and large language model-based queries using Gemini capabilities in real time without needing to switch programs from the convenience of the NVIDIA App Overlay.
    Discord: Enables users to easily share game highlights or messages directly to Discord servers without disrupting gameplay.
    IFTTT: Lets users create automations across hundreds of compatible endpoints to trigger IoT routines — such as adjusting room lights and smart shades, or pushing the latest gaming news to a mobile device.
    Spotify: Lets users control Spotify using simple voice commands or the G-Assist interface to play favorite tracks and manage playlists.
    Twitch: Checks if any Twitch streamer is currently live and can access detailed stream information such as titles, games, view counts and more.

  • Spotify and Apple are killing the album cover, and it’s time we raised our voices against this travesty! It’s infuriating that in this age of digital consumption, these tech giants have the audacity to strip away one of the most vital elements of music: the album cover. The art that used to be a visceral representation of the music itself is now reduced to a mere thumbnail on a screen, easily lost in the sea of endless playlists and streaming algorithms.

    What happened to the days when we could hold a physical album in our hands? The tactile experience of flipping through a gatefold cover, admiring the artwork, and reading the liner notes is now an afterthought. Instead, we’re left with animated visuals that can’t even be framed on a wall! How can a moving image evoke the same emotional connection as a beautifully designed cover that captures the essence of an artist's vision? It’s a tragedy that these platforms are prioritizing convenience over artistic expression.

    The music industry needs to wake up! Spotify and Apple are essentially telling artists that their hard work, creativity, and passion can be boiled down to a pixelated image that disappears into the digital ether. This is an outright assault on the artistry of music! Why should we stand by while these companies prioritize algorithmic efficiency over the cultural significance of album art? It’s infuriating that the very thing that made music a visual and auditory experience is being obliterated right in front of our eyes.

    Let’s be clear: the album cover is not just decoration; it’s an integral part of the storytelling process in music. It sets the tone, evokes emotions, and can even influence how we perceive the music itself. When an album cover is designed with care and intention, it becomes an extension of the artist’s voice. Yet here we are, scrolling through Spotify and Apple Music, bombarded with generic visuals that do nothing to honor the artists or their work.

    Spotify and Apple need to be held accountable for this degradation of music culture. This isn’t just about nostalgia; it’s about preserving the integrity of artistic expression. We need to demand that these platforms acknowledge the importance of album covers and find ways to integrate them into our digital experiences. Otherwise, we’re on a dangerous path where music becomes nothing more than a disposable commodity.

    If we allow Spotify and Apple to continue on this trajectory, we risk losing an entire culture of artistic expression. It’s time for us as consumers to take a stand and remind these companies that music is not just about the sound; it’s about the entire experience.

    Let’s unite and fight back against this digital degradation of music artistry. We deserve better than a world where the album cover is dying a slow death. Let’s reclaim the beauty of music and its visual representation before it’s too late!

  • Ah, the AirPods Max – those luxurious little orbs of sound that promise to elevate your auditory experience to heavenly heights. But wait, let’s pause for a moment before we dive headfirst into that Labor Day deal that boasts the lowest price ever – because we all know that’s just a fancy way of saying, "Hey, here’s your chance to pay a premium for something that’ll make you look particularly stylish while ignoring the world around you!"

    First, let’s talk about the design. Oh, the design! They’re like the love child of a spaceship and a pair of earmuffs you’d find at your grandma’s house. Who wouldn’t want to sport that look while strolling down the street, desperately trying to convince everyone that you’re both hip and excessively wealthy? But really, when you put them on, it's not just about sound quality; it’s about transforming into an audio-engineering superhero, ready to save the world from mediocre bass and treble.

    Now, let’s address the elephant in the room: the price. Yes, they’re on sale for the lowest price ever. It’s almost like saying, “Look, we’ve slashed the price of your next existential crisis!” Because let’s be honest, do you really need headphones that are priced higher than your monthly grocery budget? Sure, you’ll be able to hear every single whisper of the universe, but will you also be able to afford rent? It’s a fine balance between living your best life and living in your parents’ basement.

    And how about that "noise cancellation"? It’s almost magical! You’ll be so immersed in your own world that you won’t hear your friends trying to communicate with you. Remember socializing? That’s out the window. You’ll be too busy basking in the glory of your overpriced headphones to notice that your social life is slowly fading away. But hey, at least you’ll have great sound quality while binge-watching that show you promised you’d watch with your friends three months ago!

    Let’s not forget about the battery life. They say it lasts long enough to get you through a full workday. But let’s be real: if you’re using them all day, are you even working? Or are you just pretending to be busy while actually listening to your secret playlist of 90s boy bands? Either way, you’ll be the picture of productivity, even if your productivity is strictly limited to singing along to “I Want It That Way.”

    In conclusion, while the AirPods Max may be your favorite headphones, maybe just maybe, you should save your hard-earned cash for something a little less extravagant. After all, there’s a fine line between enjoying life’s luxuries and being the punchline in a “what was I thinking?” story. So go ahead, indulge in that Labor Day deal, but don’t say I didn’t warn you when you find yourself hiding from your friends in the corner of your apartment, cranking up the volume on your guilt over your questionable financial decisions.

  • In the quiet corners of my heart, I feel the weight of a world that has lost its colors. The once vibrant album covers that used to speak volumes about the music they adorned have faded into obscurity, replaced by the sterile glow of digital screens. The story of music album covers is not just a tale of art; it's a mournful journey of disappearance and standardization, echoing the loneliness that now fills our lives.

    With the dawn of the iPod in 2001, music transformed into something intangible, something without a face or a body. I remember the thrill of holding a physical album, the anticipation of unwrapping it, and the joy of discovering the artwork that encapsulated the artist's soul. Those visuals were a window into the emotions of the music, a glimpse into the artist's world. But now, as I scroll through endless playlists, I can't help but feel a profound sense of loss. Each click feels hollow, devoid of the beauty that once was.

    Where are the stories behind the covers? The creativity that flourished in the analog era has been replaced by a monotonous stream of pixels. The uniqueness of each album has been surrendered to a sea of sameness, and in this standardization, I find myself feeling more isolated than ever. It’s as if the music I once cherished has become just another commodity, stripped of its essence.

    Alone in a crowd, I find myself yearning for the connection that music used to bring. I miss the days when I could flip through a record store, each cover telling a story, each spine a promise of something beautiful. Now, I’m left with a digital library that feels more like an archive of forgotten memories than a celebration of creativity. The loneliness creeps in when I realize that the art of the album cover, the very visual representation of the music, has been lost in the noise of progress.

    Every time I play a song, I can’t shake the feeling that I’m missing something vital. Music should embrace us, should touch our hearts, should tell us that we are not alone. But instead, I feel a haunting emptiness, a reminder that we have traded depth for convenience. In this digital age, I search for meaning in a world that seems to have forgotten how to connect.

    As I sit in silence, surrounded by the echoes of melodies that once brought me joy, I can’t help but mourn the loss of the album cover. It was more than just a visual; it was a piece of art that held the spirit of the music within. Now, I am left with a collection of songs, but the stories behind them have vanished like whispers in the wind.
