Nvidia puts AI game characters on your RTX PC
Nvidia just introduced its first on-device small language model, Nemotron-4 4B Instruct, to its ACE digital human suite at Gamescom. Distilled from a 15B model, it is optimized to run locally on RTX GPUs with minimal memory and fast response times. Why it matters: Gamers can now talk to dynamic NPCs in games like Mecha BREAK entirely on local hardware, without relying on cloud servers.
