Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Proceed with caution

Why
SDKs are shipping and VRAM savings are large, but the meaningful runtime modes carry measurable frame cost and the API substrate (Cooperative Vectors) just got deprecated-and-redesigned, so broad production deployment is premature.
Next
Pilot NTC inference-on-load (transcode-at-load, zero runtime overhead) for asset-size wins; defer inference-on-sample paths until the SM 6.10 Cooperative-Vector redesign stabilizes and older-GPU fallback is proven.
