NVIDIA and Thinking Machines Lab Form Gigawatt-Scale Strategic Partnership

NVIDIA and Thinking Machines Lab have announced a multiyear strategic partnership centered on deploying at least one gigawatt of next-generation NVIDIA Vera Rubin systems. The infrastructure will support Thinking Machines Lab’s frontier model training and platforms designed to deliver customizable AI at scale.

Deployment on the NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform is targeted for early next year. The partnership also includes work to design training and serving systems for NVIDIA architectures and expand access to frontier 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.”

“NVIDIA’s technology is the foundation on which the entire field is built,” said Mira Murati, cofounder and CEO of Thinking Machines. “This partnership accelerates our capacity to build AI that people can shape and make their own, as it shapes human potential in turn.”

Developing powerful AI systems that are understandable, customizable, and collaborative requires advances in research, design, and infrastructure at scale. The companies described the partnership as a foundation for expanding access to AI systems intended to increase human capability.
