‘Source code Nvidia DLSS and code names for upcoming GPUs have been leaked by criminals’

Stolen information from Nvidia allegedly contains the source code of the Deep Learning Super Sampling technique and the code names of upcoming GPU generations could also be seen. It’s about Ada, Hopper and Blackwell.

An image that published by TechPowerUp, lists the files that would contain the source code of DLSS 2.2. These are batch, reg and C++ files. The list also shows developer documentation, but Nvidia has it before made publicly available on GitHub. In theory, source code leaks could allow development of DLSS-supported drivers for Linux. DLSS already works on Linux, but only through Steam Proton.

A reader from VideoCardz has sent the site information about codenames of upcoming Nvidia GPUs. It’s about Ada, Hopper and Blackwell. The first two names have previously appeared frequently in the rumor circuit. Ada refers to Ada Lovelace and would be the successor of the Ampere GPUs for gamers. In documents, GPUs with the code names AD102, AD103, AD104, AD106, AD107 and AD10B are mentioned. Those would be the successors to the GA GPUs with equal numbers from the current Ampere series.

Hopper and Blackwell would be the code names of GPUs for data centers. Hopper comes in GH100 and GH202 variants, according to documents. Two Blackwell GPUs are mentioned: GB100 and GB102. Twitter user kopite7 called kimi Blackwell in July last year as a possible code name for the ‘successor to the Ampere successor’.

The data is part of 19GB of data leaked by ransomware gang Lapsus$. That is a small part of the 1TB of data that the group claims to have stolen from Nvidia. The group is demanding that Nvidia remove the LHR limitation from GPUs and also claims to have the option to do so itself. Nvidia has confirmed that data has been stolen, but believes it will not affect its business.
