Agentic AI Detects Pulsar at Allen Telescope Array
First merged summary.
Agentic AI at the Allen Telescope Array detects a Crab Nebula pulsar in real time using NVIDIA Holoscan and DAQIRI.
Breakthrough Listen and the SETI Institute deploy agentic software at the Allen Telescope Array in Northern California. Natural-language requests steer instruments, correct data, and apply models. NVIDIA Holoscan and DAQIRI stream sensor data into GPU memory, with CyberEther and Nexus managing signal processing and control on RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPUs. The pipeline processes 2.4 terabits per second and runs inference on premises next to the telescope, evaluating Nemotron for on-premises and offline use.
