What Is NVIDIA NIM?

The Audio2Face NIM simplifies the deployment of the Audio2Face tuned models which are optimized for language understanding, reasoning, and text generation use cases, and outperforms many of the available open source chat models on common industry benchmarks. NVIDIA Audio2Emotion is embedded within Audio2Face, and it is designed to automatically recognize the emotions in human speech.

The Audio2Face-3D (A2F-3D) microservice is a key component of our facial animation technology stack, designed to process audio input and generate corresponding facial animations. In legacy mode, A2F-3D integrates both server and client functionalities using gRPC to seamlessly handle data streams within a larger pipeline. Audio2Face-3D NIM exposes the following gRPCs:

• Bidirectional Streaming gRPC or 2 Unidirectional Streaming endpoints for processing audio data and getting animation data.
• Unary gRPC for getting the current configuration of the microservice.
