Cut Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Hallucinations by 50%
Most teams hit the same wall with enterprise AI: LLMs that hallucinate, pipelines that don’t scale, and infrastructure that’s harder to design than the models themselves.

On March 19, GPU maker NVIDIA announced it's giving away free 90-day licenses of its genome-sequencing software Parabricks to researchers in the fight against Coronavirus.
According to the company's blog post, "In response to the current pandemic, NVIDIA is sharing tools with researchers that can accelerate their race to understand the novel coronavirus and help inform a response."
To gain access, researchers need to fill out a request form.
Parabricks is a GPU-accelerated genome analysis toolkit developed by the Ann Arbor, Michigan-based firm Parabricks. The firm was acquired by NVIDIA for an undisclosed amount last December.
Because the software takes advantages of the computing cores in the GPU, "data that once took days to analyze can now be done in under an hour," NVIDIA says.
With compute-intensive software such as Parabricks, the massive number of computing cores assigned to the job can dramatically shorten the completion time. Hence, cloud-hosted or on-demand GPU computing resources are a critical component of the application.
In the blog post announcing the giveaway, NVIDIA says, "We’re in discussions with cloud service providers and supercomputing centers to provide compute resources and access to Parabricks on their platforms."
Since its founding in 1993, NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) has been a pioneer in accelerated computing. The company’s invention of the GPU in 1999 sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined computer graphics, ignited the era of modern AI and…
