Jumpstart Your Projects with Pre-Trained Models

Many AI applications have common needs: classification, object detection, language translation, text-to-speech, recommender engines, sentiment analysis, and more. When developing applications with these capabilities, it is much faster to start with a model that is pre-trained and then tune it for a specific use case.

NGC offers pre-trained models for a variety of common AI tasks that are optimized for NVIDIA Tensor Core GPUs, and can be easily re-trained by updating just a few layers, saving valuable time.

What does NGC provide?

NGC provides a comprehensive catalog of GPU-accelerated containers for AI, machine learning and HPC that are optimized, tested and ready-to-run on supported NVIDIA GPUs on-premises and in the cloud. In addition, it provides pre-trained models, model scripts, and industry solutions that can be easily integrated in existing workflows.
What challenges does NGC address?

Compiling and deploying DL frameworks from is time consuming and error-prone. Optimizing AI software requires expertise. Building models requires expertise, time and compute resources. NGC takes care of these challenges with GPU-optimized software and tools that data scientist, developers, IT and users can leverage so they can focus on building their solutions.
What is in the NGC containers?

Each container has a pre-integrated set of GPU-accelerated software. The stack includes the chosen application or framework, NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit, accelerated libraries and other necessary drivers —all tested and tuned to work together immediately with no additional setup.
What AI software is available from the NGC container registry?

The NGC container registry features the top AI software such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, MXNet, NVIDIA TensorRT ™, RAPIDS and many more. Browse the NGC container registry to see the full list.
Where can I run the NGC software?

The NGC containers run on PCs, workstations, HPC clusters, NVIDIA DGX systems, on NVIDIA GPUs on supported cloud providers, and NGC-Ready systems. The containers run in Docker and Singularity runtimes. View the NGC documentation for more information.
How do I run containers from NGC on a cloud service provider?

NVIDIA offers virtual machine image files in the marketplace section of each supported cloud service provider. To run an NGC container, simply pick the appropriate instance type, run the NGC image, and pull the container into it from the NGC container registry. The exact steps vary by cloud provider, but you can find step-by-step instructions in the NGC documentation.
How often are the AI containers from the NGC container registry updated?

The most popular deep learning software such as TensorFlow, PyTorch and MXNet are updated monthly by NVIDIA engineers to optimize the complete software stack and get the most from your NVIDIA GPUs.
If there’s no charge to download the AI containers, do I pay for compute time?

There is no charge to download the containers from the NGC container registry (subject to the terms of the TOU). However, for running in the cloud, each cloud service provider will have their own pricing for GPU compute instances.
Is NGC a cloud computing platform?

No, NGC is a container registry that delivers GPU-optimized software stacks.
What kind of support does NVIDIA offer for these AI containers?

Users get access to the NVIDIA DevTalk Developer Forum https://devtalk.nvidia.com, supported by a large community of AI and GPU experts from the NVIDIA customer, partner, and employee ecosystem.
