NVIDIA is excited to once again support PyCon US 2026 as a Visionary Sponsor, and to sponsor the Future of AI with Python Conference Track.
Python is a “first-class” language at NVIDIA CUDA, and NVIDIA is committed to bringing our technology to Python developers in close alignment with C++ upon new releases of our hardware. We’re also happy to announce the general availability of CUDA Python 1.0.
NVIDIA’s commitment to Python goes well beyond just our own tech stack. NVIDIA’s Python engineers contribute across a broad swath of the Python ecosystem, from the core interpreter itself, to packaging and PyPI, to the Python community at large. NVIDIA is inspired by the energy of, and privileged to collaborate with, people across the open source Python community.
Since PyCon last year, NVIDIA Pythonistas – in collaboration with many others in the Python community – have made great progress on the evolution of various packaging standards, including working with community partners on the implementation of wheel variants and the establishment of a Packaging Council to better govern the evolution of packaging standards and PyPI. NVIDIA Python engineers are also engaged in implementation, testing, and porting work for the free-threaded build of the interpreter. NVIDIA Python engineers are driving the early exploratory work for adopting Rust for CPython, work on Python performance benchmarking, and are actively involved in many enhancements for Python 3.14 and 3.15, including providing built-in Zstandard support in Python 3.14.
At NVIDIA, we are excited to work with our partners and the open source Python community to help bring the best developer experience for users of high performance computing and AI. Come see NVIDIA at the Anaconda and PyTorch booths, and at the AI Track.
