Nvidia has introduced DLSS 5, a new graphics technology that uses neural rendering and AI models to add photoreal lighting and materials to game scenes in real time.

DLSS 5's AI model is scene-aware and can recognize elements such as skin, hair, water, and metals, then apply appropriate lighting and shading to each.

Since Andrej Karpathy coined the term “vibe coding” just over a year ago, we’ve seen a rapid increase in both the capabilities and popularity of using AI models to throw together quick programming projects with less human time and effort than ever before.

The move could position the AI infrastructure powerhouse to quickly compete with OpenAI, Anthropic, and DeepSeek.
