Nvidia releases software, services to boost rapid adoption of GenAI

Nvidia Corp., the world’s most valuable chipmaker, announced a raft of updates to its software offerings that aim to make it easier for a wider variety of businesses to use generative artificial intelligence.

The chip company officially released what it calls NIMs, or Nvidia inference micro services, which are software packages that take care of many of the logistical issues needed to use AI for a specific purpose. Generative AI, the technology behind chatbots, voice recognition and other automated human interactions with computers, often requires the orchestration of numerous pieces of hardware, software and information retrieval. Many companies don’t have the expertise so Nvidia is trying to do that for them, for a fee.
