Nvidia Launches Workflows for Organizations to Build Their Own AI

Nvidia has released a catalog of pre-trained, customizable AI workflows to enable organizations to quickly develop their own generative AI applications.

Known as NIM Agent Blueprints, the workflows will initially target established enterprise use cases for generative AI. These include customer service avatars, PDF extraction for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and drug discovery virtual screening.

NIM Agent Blueprints provides sample AI applications built with Nvidia’s custom generative AI platform NeMo and NIM, a set of microservices that help deploy foundation models on data centers, clouds and workstations.

Organizations can modify these NIM Agent Blueprints using their business data and run their generative AI applications from data centers and in the cloud.

It also incorporates partner microservices and comes with reference code, customization documentation and a Helm chart, which make it easier to deploy complex applications by providing a reusable and shareable package.

Nvidia partnered on the service with Accenture, Cisco, Dell Technologies, Deloitte, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Lenovo, SoftServe and World Wide Technology, who will be the first to offer it to their customers.  

“Generative AI is advancing at lightspeed. Frontier model capabilities are growing exponentially with a continuous stream of new applications,” said Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang.

“The enterprise AI wave is here. With the Nvidia AI Enterprise toolkit — including NeMo, NIM microservices and the latest NIM Agent Blueprints — our expansive partner ecosystem is poised to help enterprises customize open-source models, build bespoke AI applications and deploy them seamlessly across any cloud, on premises or at the edge.”

Partner Ecosystem

Nvidia’s partners plan to incorporate NIM Agent Blueprints into their existing generative AI offerings For example, professional services company Accenture will add the service to its Accenture AI Refinery framework that enables clients to build custom LLMs with domain-specific knowledge.

“Across industries, generative AI is acting as a catalyst for companies looking to reinvent with tech, data and AI,” said Julie Sweet, Accenture chair and CEO.

“By integrating Nvidia’s catalog of workflows into Accenture’s AI Refinery, we can help our clients develop custom AI systems at speed and reimagine how they do business and serve their customers to drive stronger business outcomes and create new value.”

Nvidia’s manufacturing partners plan to offer NIM Agent Blueprints with their computing, networking and software products. Cisco will offer it as part of its Nexus HyperFabric AI clusters.

“Cisco, together with Nvidia, created a revolutionary, flexible and simple-to-deploy AI infrastructure with Nexus HyperFabric,” said Cisco chair and CEO Chuck Robbins.

“Combining Cisco innovation with Nvidia NIM Agent Blueprints offers customers a simple and secure way to deploy generative AI fast and efficiently, with the adaptability they need to build and customize new applications at scale.”
