Deployment on the NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform is targeted for early next year. The partnership also includes an effort to design training and serving systems for NVIDIA architectures and broaden access to frontier AI and open models for enterprises, research institutions and the scientific community.
NVIDIA has also made a significant investment in Thinking Machines Lab to support the company’s long-term growth.
“AI is the most powerful knowledge discovery instrument in human history,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “Thinking Machines has brought together a world-class team to advance the frontier of AI. We are thrilled to partner with Thinking Machines to realize their exciting vision for the future of AI.”
