NVIDIA Expands AI and Graphics Capabilities with Latest ACE and Unreal Engine Updates
NVIDIA has rolled out significant updates to its ACE platform and RTX technology in Unreal Engine, enabling more dynamic AI-driven NPCs and advanced graphics. The integration of the open-source Qwen3-8B model and new RTX features aims to elevate in-game realism and performance. Developers can now access these tools to create richer, more immersive gaming experiences.
Enhanced AI Capabilities for Gaming NPCs
NVIDIA has announced updates to its ACE platform, now supporting the open-source small language model Qwen3-8B, according to reports. This integration allows developers to deploy AI-powered non-player characters (NPCs) in real-time on-device within PC games, sources indicate. The Qwen3-8B model is accessible through the In-game Inferencing (IGI) SDK plugin, which reportedly streamlines the development pipeline and optimizes AI inference alongside graphics processing for improved game performance.
