Lol you think these github repos just materialize as is? They probably did all the iteration and development internally and then ported it over to a github repo and made it public afterwards

No they didn't. You can see all the commits as this was built iteratively[0]. This project started development on Saturday morning and now it's here.

This is pretty common now, people love to rapidly throw together stuff and show it off a few days later. The only thing different about this from your average Show HN sloppa is that it's living under the NVIDIA Github org, though that also has 700+ repositories[1] in it so they don't appear too discerning about what makes it into the official repo.

My best guess is this was an internal hackathon project they wanted to release publicly.
