Google Cloud and NVIDIA have announced an expanded partnership aimed at empowering the machine learning (ML) community with cutting-edge technology to streamline the development, scaling, and management of generative AI applications. This collaboration aims to deliver significant advancements in AI capabilities to developers and enterprises.
As part of this collaboration, Google is integrating the new NVIDIA Grace Blackwell AI computing platform and the NVIDIA DGX Cloud service into Google Cloud. Moreover, the NVIDIA H100-powered DGX™ Cloud platform is now generally available on Google Cloud.
Expanding on their recent collaboration to optimize the Gemma family of open models, Google will also incorporate NVIDIA NIM inference microservices. This integration will give developers an open and flexible platform for training and deploying models using their preferred tools and frameworks. Additionally, both companies have announced support for JAX on NVIDIA GPUs and Vertex AI instances, powered by NVIDIA H100 and L4 Tensor Core GPUs.
The integration of NVIDIA’s technologies into Google Cloud provides the AI community with cutting-edge capabilities across the entire AI stack. The adoption of the new NVIDIA Grace Blackwell platform by Google enables organizations to execute real-time inference tasks on trillion-parameter large language models (LLMs), driving advancements in natural language processing and other AI applications.
Moreover, Google will introduce NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 systems, featuring 72 Blackwell GPUs and 36 Grace CPUs interconnected by fifth-generation NVLink, into its cloud infrastructure. These systems, optimized for energy-efficient training and inference, will be available via DGX Cloud, providing an agile and scalable environment for enterprise developers building and deploying LLMs.
