NVIDIA Launches AI Foundry Service On Microsoft Azure To Accelerate Custom AI Application Development

NVIDIA Corporation NVDA introduced an AI foundry service to supercharge the development and tuning of custom generative AI applications for enterprises and startups deploying on Microsoft Corporation's MSFT Microsoft Azure.

"Enterprises need custom models to perform specialized skills trained on the proprietary DNA of their company — their data," said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. 

The NVIDIA AI foundry service pulls together three elements — a collection of NVIDIA AI Foundation Models, NVIDIA NeMo framework and tools, and NVIDIA DGX Cloud AI supercomputing services.

"NVIDIA's AI foundry service combines our generative AI model technologies, LLM training expertise and giant-scale AI factory," Huang added.

Customers using the NVIDIA foundry service can choose from several NVIDIA AI Foundation models, including a new family of NVIDIA Nemotron-3 8B models hosted in the Azure AI model catalog. 

Developers can also access the Nemotron-3 8B models on the NVIDIA NGC catalog, as well as community models such as Meta's Llama 2 models optimized for NVIDIA for accelerated computing, which are also coming soon to the Azure AI model catalog.

"Our partnership with NVIDIA spans every layer of the Copilot stack — from silicon to software — as we innovate together for this new age of AI," said Satya Nadella, chairman and CEO of Microsoft. 

"With NVIDIA's generative AI foundry service on Microsoft Azure, we're providing new capabilities for enterprises and startups to build and deploy AI applications on our cloud," Nadella added.
