NVIDIA and Krafton are pulling back the curtain on how we built a truly emergent character AI for InZOI. This session dives into the technical details of creating NPCs that go beyond scripted responses. We'll explain how we use language models directly on device with NVIDIA ACE and how we solved the hard problems of making characters feel alive and responsive. From architectural decisions to performance optimization, you'll get an in-depth look at how we used NVIDIA ACE to expand the possibilities of interactive character interactions.
Takeaway
Learn practical strategies for implementing advanced LM-based character agents, understand on-device inference techniques, and gain insights into overcoming technical challenges in creating dynamic, intelligent game characters using cutting-edge AI technologies.
Intended Audience
Game developers, AI engineers, and technical designers interested in cutting-edge character AI technologies. This session is ideal for professionals working on narrative-driven games, interactive storytelling, or advanced NPC behavior systems. Attendees should have a foundational understanding of machine learning, game development pipelines, and an interest in emerging AI technologies for interactive entertainment.
