NVIDIA says ModelExpress cuts DeepSeek-V4 Pro startup from 8 minutes to under 2

NVIDIA says it cut DeepSeek-V4 Pro startup time from 8 minutes to under 2 minutes by moving model weights over the fastest path to GPU memory using GPU-to-GPU RDMA.
- The company says the result comes from NVIDIA ModelExpress (MX), a weight distribution and cache management service inside NVIDIA Dynamo.
- MX reuses kernel caches and lets inference workers fetch updated weights directly from other GPUs via NIXL, avoiding centralized broadcasts.
- NVIDIA says the same approach also speeds up inference and RL post-training by keeping weight movement off the critical path.
