It’s part of the ‘Progressive CPU Lightmapper’ (see [this post]( Progressive GPU Lightmapper preview page-3#post-3970369)).

GI: Adding support for the Optix AI Denoiser. The Optix AI denoiser is a deep learning based denoiser trained on library of path traced images. It yields a substantial improvement over existing filter options, especially on low sample counts and it is resilient to leaking. It is currently only available on Windows and with compatible NVidia GPU.
