NVIDIA Expands Agent Toolkit with PhysicsNeMo and CUDA-X Libraries, Deploys Vera CPU in Chip Design Workflows

Jul 26, 2026

NVIDIA has expanded its NVIDIA Agent Toolkit by integrating re-architected PhysicsNeMo and new and updated CUDA-X libraries, enabling developers to build autonomous AI engineers. The toolkit introduces AI physics skills, sparse solvers, and quantum chemistry capabilities. Industry leaders are already adopting these tools, with Cadence delivering up to 20x faster multiphysics performance and Siemens achieving more than 10x faster library characterization while reducing token costs by more than 10x. Additionally, Samsung, Synopsys, and TSMC are integrating the cuEST library into GPU-accelerated pipelines to achieve up to a 50x speedup in key quantum-chemistry workloads.
