NVIDIA Unveils NIM to Democratize Generative AI Development

NVIDIA is making generative AI development more accessible with the launch of NVIDIA NIM (inference microservices). NIM allows developers to easily build generative AI applications in minutes, compared to weeks previously.

What are Generative AI Applications?

These applications use AI to create new content, like text, images, or video. They’re becoming increasingly complex,often requiring multiple models to generate different creative outputs. NIM simplifies this process by providing a standardized way to integrate generative AI into existing applications.

Benefits for Businesses

• Faster Development: NIM cuts development time from weeks to minutes, allowing businesses to quickly leverage generative AI.
• Increased Efficiency: Running generative AI models through NIM can significantly improve performance,allowing businesses to generate more content with the same resources.
• Wider Adoption: NIM’s ease of use makes generative AI accessible to a broader range of developers, even those without specialized AI expertise.

Industry-Wide Support

Nearly 200 technology partners are integrating NIM into their platforms, making it easier to build generative AI applications for specific tasks like code assistance or creating digital avatars. Additionally, leading AI tools and cloud platforms like Amazon SageMaker and Google Cloud AI are embedding NIM, further streamlining the development process.

Real-World Applications

Companies across various industries are already using NIM for generative AI applications:

• Manufacturing: Foxconn is utilizing NIM to develop AI systems for smart manufacturing.
• Healthcare: Lowe’s is leveraging NIM to enhance customer experiences, while Amdocs is using it to improve customer billing accuracy.
• Customer Service: ServiceNow is integrating NIM into its AI platform to enable faster and more cost-effective development of chatbots and other customer service tools.

Getting Started with NIM

Developers can experiment with NVIDIA microservices for free at ai.nvidia.com. Enterprises can deploy production-grade NIM microservices with NVIDIA AI Enterprise software. Members of the NVIDIA Developer Program will soon have free access to NIM for research and testing.

The Future of Generative AI

With NIM, NVIDIA is making generative AI development more accessible and efficient. This has the potential to revolutionize various industries by enabling the creation of powerful new applications.
