Welcome to NGC!! If you're new to AI, deep learning, or NGC, you're in the right place. This Collection should get you up and running in no time. In our Getting Started collection, you'll find:
Welcome to NGC - NVIDIA's home of accelerated software.
If you're working in Artificial Intelligence, High Performance Computing or Visualisation, this is the place to get the latest GPU optimized software. Take a look at what we've got on offer:
NGC Collections provide all the assets you need to build cutting-edge AI software in one place. So whether you're looking for the latest conversational AI models or want to know what models we have that work with our Transfer Learning Toolkit, Collections provides the perfect starting point. We even have Collections that show you how you can get started with GPUs in the major CSPs. Whatever your experience level, this is a real boost to your workflow.
Containers package software applications, libraries, dependencies, and runtime compilers in a self-contained environment so they can be easily deployed across various compute environments. The deep learning frameworks and HPC containers from NGC are GPU-optimized and tested on NVIDIA GPUs for scale and performance. With a one-click operation, you can easily pull, scale, and run containers in your environment.
In NGC, we have everything from RAPIDS to DIGITS and all the major deep learning frameworks. Optimized by NVIDIA to ensure that you're getting the most from your GPU infrastructure.
We even host validated third-party applications such as H2O's DriverlessAI or MatLab from Mathworks.
Helm provides a container orchestration tool that allows you to configure and manage your containerized application deployments. Helm charts allow DevOps engineers and system administrators to describe exactly what components an application needs to run, simplifying deployment pipelines and enabling the easy deployment and integration of new apps.
While starting from scratch is awesome, we know that you want to start with a state-of-the-art model a lot of the time. Whether you're using these as a benchmark to measure performance or as a building block for your own applications based on your data. We've got hundreds of pretrained checkpoints that cover everything from speech generation with Waveglow to VehicleMakeNet that will tell you, well, what make a vehicle is in streaming video. These models can provide the perfect building blocks for you.
It's not just custom models, though. What about the code that you need to get up and running, retrain the asset, or integrate into an end-user application? We host code samples, example applications, videos, images, and instructions so that you can get up and running with NGC's content really quickly. AI is very much a collaborative effort, and our Resources provide structure to solving the challenges that matter to you. You can even view Jupyter Notebooks directly in NGC, there's no need to download anything. Simply select "view Jupyter" from the actions menu in the file browser, and you're good to go.
Alright, so that's a rundown of the content we have in our Catalog, but what next? Check out some of the steps in this section to see how you can take your NGC usage to the next level.
Whoa! That's right - while 99% of the content in our Catalog is free to use, there's even more available if you're a registered user. If you want access to everything in the Catalog, you need to create an account.
It's a really quick process. Simply follow these steps:
That's it! You've now got access to everything our Catalog has to offer.

We've got a really powerful set of CLI tools that let you get the most from NGC's content, whether you're working on your local GPU-powered machine or remote infrastructure. Visit https://ngc.nvidia.com/setup to get started!
We've got detailed developer and end-user documentation here.
IIf you think this is cool, wait until you see what you can do with an NGC Private Registry. Imagine all of the power of NGC, and the incredible features you see in our Catalog, but in your hands!
You can manage your own Collections, Containers, Helm Charts, Models, and Resources to improve how your team builds software. We've got a powerful CLI and REST API, so you can even integrate NGC into your workflow. Making the process of building and scaling AI software seamless.
