**Type:** Problem & solution

## Summary

AI factories combine GPUs, CPUs, switches, DPUs, and SuperNICs with schedulers and security controls, making validation before hardware arrival critical. NVIDIA DSX Air provides a node-based digital twin that models hardware topology and software stack, allowing teams to validate supported configurations in a safe environment before production. AI agents interrogate the twin, run supported configuration and security checks, compare results with organizational policy, and produce evidence-based reports. The simulation supports Day 0 through Day 2 operations and integrates with NVIDIA Brev for on-demand GPU compute to run AI services like Video Search and Summarization. This governed automation model uses human-in-the-loop gates to ensure agents explore in the sandbox while production changes require approval, enabling continuous improvement.

## Context

AI factories combine GPUs, CPUs, switches, DPUs, and SuperNICs with schedulers, orchestration, and security controls. Validating configurations and software changes before hardware arrival is critical to minimize time to first token. Traditional validation requires waiting for physical hardware, which is costly and slow.

## Approach / What changed

NVIDIA DSX Air provides a node-based digital twin simulation that models hardware topology and software stack. AI agents interrogate the twin, run checks, compare outcomes, and initiate workflows. The simulation is integrated into CI/CD pipelines and supports Day 0 through Day 2 operations. NVIDIA Brev provides on-demand GPU compute for AI services. The Video Search and Summarization blueprint demonstrates the detect, reason, act pattern.

## Takeaways

- A node-based digital twin simulation allows teams to validate supported configurations and software changes before physical hardware arrives, reducing time and cost associated with building physical labs.
- AI agents can operate against the digital twin to run configuration checks, security and compliance checks, and infrastructure health analysis, then produce evidence-based reports with citations.
- The same digital twin model can be used across Day 0 planning, Day 1 deployment, and Day 2 operations, enabling a continuous feedback loop for improvement.

## FAQ

### How does the digital twin help validate changes before hardware arrives?

The digital twin models hardware topology and software stack, allowing teams to validate supported configurations and software changes in a safe, API-accessible environment before physical hardware is racked and cabled.

### What role do AI agents play in the validation loop?

AI agents interrogate the twin, run supported configuration checks, security and compliance checks, and infrastructure health analysis, then compare results with organizational policy and produce evidence-based reports.

### How is GPU compute integrated with the digital twin?

NVIDIA Brev provides on-demand GPU resources that can be connected to the digital twin workflow, allowing AI services like Video Search and Summarization to run on GPU instances outside the simulation.
