NVIDIA ACE is a suite of technologies for building AI agents for gaming. ACE provides ready-to-integrate cloud and on-device AI models for every part of in-game characters, from speech to intelligence to animation. To run these models alongside the game engine efficiently, the NVIDIA In-Game Inferencing (NVIGI) SDK includes a set of performant libraries that developers can integrate into C++ games and applications.  NVIDIA In-Game Inferencing SDK 1.5 introduces a new code agent sample in which an AI agent works with the player to defeat monsters in a 2D dungeon. AI agents driven by local small language models (SLMs) can make excessive calls to the GPU that compete with graphics.…
