Canonical has partnered with NVIDIA and AMD to enable single-command installation of CUDA, ROCm, and NVIDIA DOCA-OFED via apt. The OS is optimized across major silicon architectures (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, Arm, Qualcomm, RISC-V) to minimize overhead and maximize GPU utilization. Hardware certification and standardized firmware delivery reduce custom engineering work. The goal is to reduce time-to-value for AI workloads while lowering operational costs beyond just tokens-per-watt efficiency. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
