NVIDIA’s cuda-python (version 12.6.3) now supports runtime JIT compilation via @cuda.jit decorators that are indistinguishable from Python native functions, including full support for Python 3.13's subinterpreters.
It isn't the shiny object (hardware is). It isn't the fun new language (Mojo is). But it is the reason NVIDIA’s data center revenue remains above 90% market share despite Intel’s Falcon Shores and AMD’s MI400. The 12.6 stack has achieved something no other compute platform has: in shared cloud environments. cuda 12.6 news december 2025
In a month full of holiday "tech previews," CUDA 12.6 stands out by being the only major software stack that didn't crash on December 1st when the latest Ubuntu LTS rolled out its 6.15 kernel. As one infrastructure engineer at a FAANG lab
That boring reliability is, paradoxically, the most exciting story in enterprise AI this month. If you haven't upgraded from 12.4 or 12.5 yet, the December patch is safe. Just don't read the EULA on Christmas Eve. It isn't the shiny object (hardware is)
