FAQs

The NVIDIA cuOpt is a GPU-optimized API for decision optimization, delivering world-record-breaking speed and efficiency. It enables organizations to compute the most optimal plans near real time and at scale, outperforming traditional vehicle routing problems (VRP) solutions and matching the performance of mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) / linear programming (LP) solvers.

With cuOpt, businesses can:

  • Assess and manage risk across complex financial instruments
  • Simulate market fluctuations to enhance risk mitigation strategies
  • Accelerate finding optimal solutions for large LPs and MILPs
  • Solve key optimization challenges in seconds, from LP to MIP and VRP
  • Reduce costs by optimizing routes and resource allocation
  • Minimize miles driven and carbon emissions for sustainability
  • Accelerate delivery times without compromising quality
  • Increase jobs per dispatch for higher efficiency
  • Re-optimize in real time to adapt to changing conditions

 

There are a few ways users can try cuOpt. 

  • NVIDIA API catalog: This open-access platform allows users to interactively try cuOpt using sample data through both API and UI-based demos. It’s ideal for those new to optimization and want a hands-on introduction.
  • NVIDIA cuOpt GitHub: Repository provides resources, examples, and documentation to help developers integrate cuOpt GPU-accelerated optimization into their applications.
  • NVIDIA AI Enterprise: Users can get enterprise support for cuOpt production deployments with NVIDIA AI Enterprise

The NVIDIA API catalog provides production-ready generative AI models and an optimized inference runtime, continuously enhanced for peak performance. Delivered as microservices, these models can be easily deployed on any GPU-accelerated system using standard tools.

NVIDIA cuOpt GitHub is a resource hub providing examples, documentation, and tools to help developers leverage NVIDIA cuOpt, a GPU-accelerated AI solver for decision optimization. cuOpt will be available as open-source software at Github, allowing developers to access the latest features, build from source, and customize it for maximum flexibility.

NVIDIA AI Enterprise is an end-to-end, cloud-native software platform that accelerates data science pipelines and streamlines development and deployment of production-grade AI applications, including generative AI, computer vision, speech AI, and more. It includes best-in-class development tools, frameworks, pretrained models, and microservices for AI practitioners and reliable management capabilities for IT professionals to ensure performance, API stability, and security.

By balancing risk and return, mixed-integer programming (MIP) drives portfolio optimization and risk management.

Mixed-integer programming and linear programming revolutionize logistics by managing inventory and production schedules more efficiently. NVIDIA has demonstrated how an AI planner—an agent built with NVIDIA NIM™—empowers business operations teams to chat with their supply chain data—enabling large-scale manufacturing and delivery with unprecedented efficiency. The AI planner use case example leverages:

  • A large language model (LLM) NIM to understand planners’ intentions and orchestrate other models
  • NVIDIA NeMo™ Retriever to connect the LLM to proprietary data
  • cuOpt for decision optimization, ensuring the most efficient planning and execution

cuOpt will be available as an open-source solution. For production deployments, NVIDIA AI Enterprise offers enhanced security, reliability, and accelerated time-to-value, along with enterprise-class support. The full pricing and licensing details can be found here.
