Google and NVIDIA are significantly expanding their long-standing partnership to accelerate advancements in artificial intelligence. This collaboration spans across Google’s various divisions, from Google Cloud’s infrastructure to DeepMind’s cutting-edge AI research, and Alphabet’s “Other Bets” focused on tackling global challenges.
A key highlight is the strengthening of Google Cloud’s AI infrastructure. Businesses will soon benefit from NVIDIA’s latest GPUs, including the newly announced Blackwell series. Google Cloud is making available A4 VMs powered by NVIDIA HGX B200 GPUs, with A4X VMs featuring NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 GPUs coming soon. This commitment to the latest hardware ensures faster AI model training and deployment, enabling businesses to handle increasingly complex AI tasks.
Google DeepMind and NVIDIA are working together to expand access to Google’s powerful Gemini AI model. This collaboration will make Gemini’s capabilities available to more developers and end-users, leveraging NVIDIA’s accelerated computing ecosystem. Further democratizing AI, Google DeepMind’s Gemma 3, its latest open-source AI model, has been optimized to run efficiently on NVIDIA GPUs. Additionally, NVIDIA is now using Google DeepMind’s SynthID watermarking tool on its Cosmos video generation platform, marking the first external deployment of this technology to enhance trust in AI-generated content.
Beyond infrastructure and model access, Google and NVIDIA are collaborating to address critical global challenges. This includes:
- Smarter Energy Grids: X’s Tapestry project and NVIDIA are researching AI-driven simulations to improve electric grid management.
- Accelerated Drug Discovery: Isomorphic Labs and NVIDIA are applying AI to develop new medicines.
- Enhanced Robotics: Intrinsic and NVIDIA are integrating NVIDIA’s Isaac foundation models to make robots more intelligent and adaptable.
- Advanced Robotics Simulation: Google DeepMind and NVIDIA have launched MuJoCo-Warp, an open-source physics simulator to accelerate robotics research.
This expanded partnership reflects a shared commitment to making AI more accessible and beneficial, driving innovation across various sectors.
