Run Multimodal Extraction for More Efficient AI Pipelines Using One GPU

A decorative image.As enterprises generate and consume increasing volumes of diverse data, extracting insights from multimodal documents, like PDFs and presentations, has become a…A decorative image.

As enterprises generate and consume increasing volumes of diverse data, extracting insights from multimodal documents, like PDFs and presentations, has become a major challenge. Traditional text-only extraction and basic retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines fall short, failing to capture the full value of these complex documents. The result? Missed insights, inefficient workflows…

In today’s fast-paced IT environment, not all incidents begin with obvious alarms. They may start as subtle, scattered signals, a missed alert, a quiet SLO breach, or a degraded service that slowly impacts users. Designed by the NVIDIA IT team, ITMonitron is an internal tool that helps make sense of these faint signals. By combining real-time telemetry with NVIDIA NIM inference microservices…

A chunking strategy is the method of breaking down large documents into smaller, manageable pieces for AI retrieval. Poor chunking leads to irrelevant results, inefficiency, and reduced business value. It determines how effectively relevant information is fetched for accurate AI responses. With so many options available—page-level, section-level, or token-based chunking with various sizes—how do…

LMArena at the University of California, Berkeley is making it easier to see which large language models excel at specific tasks, thanks to help from NVIDIA and Nebius. Its rankings, powered by the Prompt-to-Leaderboard (P2L) model, collect votes from humans on which AI performs best in areas such as math, coding, or creative writing. “We capture user preferences across tasks and apply…

This is the third post in the large language model latency-throughput benchmarking series, which aims to instruct developers on how to determine the cost of LLM inference by estimating the total cost of ownership (TCO). See LLM Inference Benchmarking: Fundamental Concepts for background knowledge on common metrics for benchmarking and parameters. See LLM Inference Benchmarking Guide: NVIDIA…
