Kroger Partners With NVIDIA For AI Services

Kroger Co KR has entered into a strategic collaboration with NVIDIA Corp NVDA for Artificial Intelligence-enabled applications and services.
The parties will build a state-of-art AI lab and demonstration center to expand Kroger's freshness initiatives and improve shipping logistics.
The lab will be located in Kroger's Cincinnati-based headquarters office. It will use NVIDIA AI Enterprise software for retail, Omniverse Enterprise for digital twin simulations, and cuOpt for logistics.
The initial installation will use nine NVIDIA DGX A100 systems, InfiniBand networking, and RTX workstations to gather insights on the grocer's nearly 2,800 stores across the U.S.
Price Action: KR shares are trading higher by 1.63% at $56.59, and NVDA lower by 0.50% at $266.00 on the last check Tuesday.
