- 150+ Partners Across Every Layer of AI Ecosystem Embedding NIM Inference Microservices to Speed Enterprise AI Application Deployments From Weeks to Minutes
- NVIDIA Developer Program Members Gain Free Access to NIM for Research, Development and Testing
TAIPEI, Taiwan, June 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- COMPUTEX --NVIDIA today announced that the world’s 28 million developers can now download ™ — inference microservices that provide models as optimized containers — to deploy on clouds, data centers or workstations, giving them the ability to easily build generative AI applications for copilots, chatbots and more, in minutes rather than weeks.
These new generative AI applications are becoming increasingly complex and often utilize multiple models with different capabilities for generating text, images, video, speech and more. NVIDIA NIM dramatically increases developer productivity by providing a simple, standardized way to add generative AI to their applications.
NIM also enables enterprises to maximize their infrastructure investments. For example, running Meta Llama 3-8B in a NIM produces up to 3x more generative AI tokens on accelerated infrastructure than without NIM. This lets enterprises boost efficiency and use the same amount of compute infrastructure to generate more responses.
Nearly 200 technology partners — including Cadence, , , , , Scale AI and — are integrating NIM into their platforms to speed generative AI deployments for domain-specific applications, such as copilots, code assistants and digital human avatars. is now offering NIM — starting with .
“Every enterprise is looking to add generative AI to its operations, but not every enterprise has a dedicated team of AI researchers,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “Integrated into platforms everywhere, accessible to developers everywhere, running everywhere — NVIDIA NIM is helping the technology industry put generative AI in reach for every organization.”
Enterprises can deploy AI applications in production with NIM through the software platform. Starting next month, members of the can access NIM for free for research, development and testing on their preferred infrastructure.
40+ NIM Microservices Power Gen AI Models Across Modalities
NIM containers are pre-built to speed model deployment for GPU-accelerated inference and can include ® software, ™ and software.
Over 40 NVIDIA and community models are available to experience as NIM endpoints on , including , Google’s open model Gemma, Meta Llama 3, Microsoft Phi-3, Mistral Large, Mixtral 8x22B and Snowflake Arctic.
Developers can now access NVIDIA NIM microservices for Meta Llama 3 models from the AI platform. This lets developers easily access and run the Llama 3 NIM in just a few clicks using Hugging Face Inference Endpoints, powered by NVIDIA GPUs on their preferred cloud.
Enterprises can use NIM to run applications for generating text, images and video, speech and digital humans. With ™ NIM microservices for digital biology, researchers can build novel protein structures to accelerate drug discovery.
Dozens of healthcare companies are to power generative AI inference across a range of applications, including surgical planning, digital assistants, drug discovery and clinical trial optimization.
With new , developers can easily build and operate interactive, lifelike digital humans in applications for customer service, telehealth, education, gaming and entertainment.
Hundreds of AI Ecosystem Partners Embedding NIM
Platform providers including , , and (acquired by Broadcom) are supporting NIM on or enterprise solutions. AI application companies , , and are also deploying NIM to power generative AI inference.
Leading AI tools and MLOps partners — including Amazon SageMaker, Microsoft Azure AI, Dataiku, DataRobot, , Domino Data Lab, , , , Run.ai, , Securiti AI and — have also embedded NIM into their platforms to enable developers to build and deploy domain-specific generative AI applications with optimized inference.
Global system integrators and service delivery partners Accenture, Deloitte, Infosys, , , SoftServe, TCS and Wipro have created NIM competencies to help the world’s enterprises quickly develop and deploy production AI strategies.
Enterprises can run NIM-enabled applications virtually anywhere, including on ™ from global infrastructure manufacturers Cisco, , , and Supermicro, as well as server manufacturers , , , , , , QCT, Wistron and Wiwynn. NIM microservices have also been integrated into , , and .
Titans of Industry Amp Up Generative AI With NIM
Industry leaders Foxconn, Pegatron, , Lowe’s, and Siemens are among the businesses using NIM for generative AI applications in manufacturing, healthcare, financial services, retail, customer service and more:
- Foxconn — the world’s largest electronics manufacturer — is using NIM in the development of domain-specific LLMs embedded into a variety of internal systems and processes in its AI factories for smart manufacturing, smart cities and smart electric vehicles.
- Pegatron — a Taiwanese electronics manufacturing company — is leveraging NIM for Project TaME, a Taiwan Mixtral of Experts model designed to advance the development of local LLMs for industries.
- Amdocs — a leading global provider of software and services to communications and media companies — is to run a customer billing LLM that significantly lowers the cost of tokens, improves accuracy by up to 30% and reduces latency by 80%, driving near real-time responses.
- Lowe’s — a FORTUNE® 50 home improvement company — is using generative AI for a variety of use cases. For example, the retailer is leveraging NVIDIA NIM inference microservices to elevate experiences for associates and customers.
- ServiceNow — the AI platform for business transformation — announced earlier this year that it was one of the first platform providers to access NIM to enable fast, scalable and more cost-effective LLM development and deployment for its customers. NIM microservices are integrated within the Now AI multimodal model and are available to customers that have ServiceNow’s generative AI experience, Now Assist, installed.
- Siemens — a global technology company focused on industry, infrastructure, transport and healthcare — is integrating its operational technology with NIM microservices for shop floor AI workloads. It is also building an on-premises version of its Industrial Copilot for Machine Operators using NIM.
