NVIDIA ACE for games sparks life into virtual characters with generative AI

The Key Benefits of ACE

State-of-the-Art Models and Microservices

NVIDIA supercomputer-trained foundation models provide industry-leading quality and real-time performance.

Safe and Consistent Results

AI models and microservices trained on commercially safe, responsibly licensed data. Fine-tuning and guardrails enable accurate, appropriate, and on-topic results no matter the user’s input.

Flexible Deployment Options

Handle customization and inference through any public or private cloud, Windows PC, or a mix of both.

Digital Human Workflows

Developers can leverage ACE to build their own digital human solutions from the ground up, or use NVIDIA’s suite of domain-specific AI workflows for next-generation non-playable game characters (NPCs), interactive digital assistants for customer service, and digital avatars for real-time communication.

Gaming Characters

NVIDIA Covert Protocol sample application demonstrates NPCs capable of natural language interactions. Developers of middleware, tools, and games can use state-of-the-art real-time language, speech, and animation generative AI models to bring roleplaying capabilities to digital characters. NVIDIA has partnered with Inworld AI to demonstrate NVIDIA ACE integrated into an end-to-end NPC platform with cutting-edge visuals in Unreal Engine 5.
