Nvidia has launched an open AI model development coalition, named Nemotron, and will provide compute.

Coalition members will contribute data, evaluations, and domain expertise towards an open model trained on Nvidia's DGX Cloud.

The coalition includes Black Forest Labs, Cursor, LangChain, Mistral AI, Perplexity, Reflection AI, Sarvam, and Thinking Machines Lab. The latter company, led by former OpenAI exec Mira Murati, signed a 1GW Vera Rubin deal earlier this month.

“Open models are the lifeblood of innovation and the engine of global participation in the AI revolution – for students, scientists, startups and entire industries,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia.

“The Nvidia Nemotron Coalition unites world-class AI labs to develop frontier open models that champion transparency, collaboration, and sovereignty – broadening access to intelligence and ensuring the future of AI is shaped with the world and built for the world.”

The amount of compute available to the coalition through DGX Cloud was not disclosed.
