What is NVIDIA NIM™?
NVIDIA NIM™ is part of NVIDIA AI Enterprise, a set of inference Microservices designed to accelerate the deployment of generative AI in the enterprise.
Supporting open source models, NVIDIA AI Foundation models and more, NIM provides industry-standard APIs to enable seamless and scalable AI inference on-premise or in the cloud.
Features of NIM
Can be deployed in a variety of environments, from on-premise to cloud
It can be deployed on a variety of infrastructure models, from local workstations to the cloud to data centers, depending on your use case.
Uses industry standard APIs
Accessing AI models through industry-standard APIs simplifies the development of AI applications and allows you to use popular LLM frameworks such as LangChain and LlamaIndex.
Access cutting-edge open and domain-specific models
State-of-the-art models and models tailored to various domains such as speech, video processing, and healthcare are available.
Providing inference-optimized containers
Pre-built containers that utilize inference software such as NVIDIA's Triton Inference Server™ and TensorRT™-LLM are provided, significantly shortening development time.
Enterprise-grade AI support
As part of NVIDIA AI Enterprise, it is built on enterprise-grade base containers and comes with regular security upgrades and enterprise support.
