Hour One Unveils Lifelike Cinematic Avatar Of NVIDIA's CEO At Computex 2024

Today at Computex, Hour One’s advanced AI Avatar technology was showcased during NVIDIA’s keynote. For the address, Hour One created a lifelike avatar of NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang, capable of delivering messages in multiple languages with cinematic realism. This highlights the potential of combining generative AI technologies, built on NVIDIA accelerated computing, to expand the possibilities of digital humans.

As leaders in creating professional and cinematic videos using photorealistic avatars, Hour One aims to enable enterprises to effortlessly produce high-quality cinematic videos and photo-realistic avatars. By providing developers with access to its video cloud as a service, it simplifies the creation of rich media pipelines.

To bring these cinematic avatars to life, Hour One built a sophisticated AI video cloud infrastructure that parallelizes inference and 3D video rendering. This enables rich-media pipelines at an infinite scale, all powered by NVIDIA’s accelerated computing stack, including NVIDIA GPUs and AI acceleration libraries.

To enable parallelized Gen-AI video inference, Hour One introduced a new GPU micro-orchestration technology. This technology manages and optimizes multi-modal Gen-AI processes simultaneously, ensuring seamless and efficient operations.

Additionally, Hour One has introduced a multi-cloud adaptive GPU autoscaling system. This system scales across multiple compute pipelines, including rendering, graphics, and inference. It manages GPU allocation on all major clouds, on top of Kubernetes, to maximize resource utilization, performance, and cost-efficiency.

Leveraging NVIDIA's Powerful Technology

Hour One relies on NVIDIA's powerful technology at every stage of its operations. From data processing and model training to video rendering and encoding, leveraging the NVIDIA AI platform—which includes NVIDIA H100 and A100 Tensor Core GPUs, along with CUDA, Container Toolkit, and Video Codec SDK—Hour One delivers high-quality, scalable solutions to its clients.

This collaboration with NVIDIA empowers companies across various industries to harness the power of generative AI, advanced graphics, and rendering technology. By providing tools that simplify the creation of rich media content, Hour One enables businesses to innovate and communicate in new and engaging ways.
