A Coding Guide to Markerless 3D Human Kinematics with Pose2Sim, RTMPose, and OpenSim

In this tutorial, we build and run a complete Pose2Sim pipeline on Colab to understand how markerless 3D kinematics works in practice. We begin with environment setup, configure the project for Colab’s headless runtime, and then walk through calibration, 2D pose estimation, synchronization, person association, triangulation, filtering, marker augmentation, and OpenSim-based kinematics. As we progress, […]

NVIDIA Releases AITune: An Open-Source Inference Toolkit That Automatically Finds the Fastest Inference Backend for Any PyTorch Model

Deploying a deep learning model into production has always involved a painful gap between the model a researcher trains and the model that actually runs efficiently at scale. TensorRT exists, Torch-TensorRT exists, TorchAO exists — but wiring them together, deciding which backend to use for which layer, and validating that the tuned model still produces
