NVIDIA TAO Toolkit Version 4.0: What’s New

The TAO Toolkit simplifies and accelerates the model training process by abstracting away the complexity of AI models and the deep learning framework. You can use the power of transfer learning to fine-tune NVIDIA pretrained models with your own data and optimize the model for inference throughput. The 4.0 release makes it even easier to get started and create high-accuracy models without needing any AI expertise. Here are the core features for this release:

Ethical AI

NVIDIA platforms and application frameworks enable developers to build a wide array of AI applications. Consider potential algorithmic bias when choosing or creating the models being deployed. Also, work with the model’s developer to ensure that it meets the requirements for the relevant industry and use case; that the necessary instruction and documentation are provided to understand error rates, confidence intervals, and results; and that the model is being used under the conditions and in the manner intended.
