NVIDIA and Microsoft team up to enhance AI development on Microsoft platforms at Microsoft Ignite. The Azure ND GB200 V6 VM series, based on NVIDIA Blackwell platform, is announced, along with support for NVIDIA GPUs in Azure Container Apps. NVIDIA also introduces small language models for RTX AI PCs.
Microsoft’s new Azure ND GB200 V6 VM series leverages NVIDIA GB200 Grace Blackwell Superchips and Quantum InfiniBand networking for optimized deep learning workloads. This complements the existing Azure AI clusters with ND H200 V5 VMs, enhancing AI inferencing capabilities.
Azure Container Apps now supports NVIDIA-accelerated workloads with serverless GPUs, allowing developers to deploy real-time AI inference applications without worrying about underlying infrastructure. This collaboration between NVIDIA and Microsoft aims to optimize AI model performance on Azure.
NVIDIA unveils Omniverse reference workflows for advanced 3D applications, accelerating industrial AI and creativity. Reference workflows for 3D remote monitoring of industrial operations are coming soon, integrating with Azure IoT Operations and Power BI to optimize processes in production facilities.
NVIDIA collaborates with Microsoft to bring AI capabilities to personal computing devices at Ignite. The new multimodal SLM, NVIDIA Nemovision-4B Instruct, enhances digital human interactions on RTX AI PCs. Updates to NVIDIA TensorRT Model Optimizer offer Windows developers a path to optimize models for deployment on ONNX Runtime.
NVIDIA’s collaboration with Microsoft offers a full-stack approach to AI development on Azure. SoftServe introduces SoftServe Gen AI Industrial Assistant on the Azure marketplace, addressing manufacturing challenges with AI. AT&T showcases how it uses NVIDIA AI and Azure for operational efficiency and business growth through retrieval-augmented generation and autonomous assistants.
