COMPUTEX -- NVIDIA today announced the
general availability of NVIDIA ACE generative AI microservices to
accelerate the next wave of digital humans, as well as new
generative AI breakthroughs coming soon to the platform.
Companies in customer service, gaming and healthcare are the
first to adopt ACE technologies to simplify creating, animating and
operating lifelike digital humans across customer service,
telehealth, gaming and entertainment.
The suite of NVIDIA ACE digital human generative AI technologies
now generally available includes:
- NVIDIA Riva
ASR, TTS and NMT — for automatic
speech recognition, text-to-speech conversion and translation
- NVIDIA Nemotron LLM —
for language understanding and contextual response generation
- NVIDIA Audio2Face — for realistic facial
animation based on audio tracks
- NVIDIA Omniverse
RTX — for real-time, path-traced realistic skin and
hair
Newly announced technologies include:
- NVIDIA Audio2Gesture
— for generating body gestures based on audio tracks, available
soon
- NVIDIA Nemotron-3
4.5B — a new small language model (SLM) purpose-built for
low-latency, on-device RTX AI PC inference
“Digital humans will revolutionize industries,” said Jensen
Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “Breakthroughs in multi-modal
large language models and neural graphics — delivered by NVIDIA ACE
to our ecosystem of developers — are bringing us closer to a future
of intent-driven computing, where interacting with computers is as
natural as interacting with humans.”
Digital Humans Come to 100 Million RTX AI PCs
To date, NVIDIA has provided ACE as NIM microservices for
developers to operate in data centers. Now NVIDIA is building ACE
PC NIM microservices for deployment across the installed base of
100 million RTX AI PCs and laptops.
These include NVIDIA Nemotron-3 4.5B, the company’s first SLM,
which has been purpose-built to run on device with similar levels
of precision and accuracy as large language models (LLMs) running
in the cloud. Nemotron-3 4.5B SLM is now in early access. NVIDIA
Audio2Face and NVIDIA Riva ASR on-device models will be available
soon in early access.
The new NVIDIA AI Inference Manager software development kit
simplifies the deployment of ACE to PCs. It preconfigures the PC
with the necessary AI models, engines and dependencies while
orchestrating AI inference seamlessly across PCs and the cloud.
An updated version of the Covert Protocol tech demo, developed
in collaboration with Inworld AI, is being shown at the COMPUTEX
trade show. Using Audio2Face and Riva ASR running locally on
GeForce RTX PCs, the demo allows players to interact and influence
digital-human non-playable characters (NPCs) with conversational
language to complete their mission.
Digital Human Ecosystem Expands With Latest ACE
TechnologiesACE is making waves with developers building a
variety of applications from companies such as Aww Inc., Dell
Technologies, Gumption, Hippocratic AI, Inventec, OurPalm, Perfect
World Games, Reallusion, ServiceNow, Soulbotix, SoulShell and
UneeQ.
Aww Inc., a pioneering virtual human company based in Japan,
launched its first virtual celebrity, Imma, in 2018. Imma has since
become the face of major global brands in more than 50 countries.
Now, Aww Inc. plans to leverage ACE Audio2Face microservices for
real-time animation, enabling a highly interactive communication
experience with its users.
Perfect World Games, a game developer and publisher, is adopting
ACE in its new mythological wilderness tech demo, Legends. Players
can interact with a fully interactive, realistic, multilingual, AI
NPC in both English and Mandarin. Using NVIDIA Audio2Face NIM, the
character’s audio responses generate realistic facial animation in
real time.
Inventec, a major technology company that is investing heavily
in AI, is using NVIDIA Audio2Face NIM to enhance its healthcare AI
agent within the VRSTATE platform. The integration provides a more
engaging, comforting virtual consultation experience. At COMPUTEX,
Inventec is showcasing an AI agent that can help patients access
information about their health.
ServiceNow, the AI platform for business transformation,
recently showcased ACE NIM in a generative AI service agent demo
for its Now Assist Gen AI Experience, highlighting the potential
for digital avatars to enhance customer and employee interactions
across industries including retail, travel and more.
Dell Technologies unveiled its cutting-edge Dell Generative AI
Solution for Digital Assistants at Dell Technologies World last
month. The offering allows businesses to leverage intelligent
digital assistants that engage customers through natural
conversations across various industries such as retail, healthcare
and customer service.
NVIDIA Celebrates Digital Human Startups at COMPUTEX
2024NVIDIA art teams used generative AI tools built on
ACE, including Synthesia and Hour One, to produce a “digital
Jensen” avatar that was generated by video from text.
The multilingual avatar featured Huang’s unique voice and style,
generated by ElevenLabs’ proprietary AI speech and voice technology
in Mandarin Chinese and English. NVIDIA also collaborated with
Voicemod, an NVIDIA Inception member specializing in AI voice
technology, to compose the ending theme song of Huang’s
keynote.
ACE NIM Now AvailableNVIDIA ACE NIM
microservices for server deployments including Riva and Audio2Face
are now in production, adding NVIDIA AI Enterprise software for
developers to receive enterprise-class support. Register for early
access to ACE NIM microservices that run on RTX AI PCs.
