Nvidia introduces NIM (Nvidia Inference Microservices), a new technology that supposedly enables developers to deliver AI applications in minutes instead of weeks. These microservices provide optimized models as containers that can be deployed in clouds, data centers, or on workstations. The goal is to enable organizations to build generative AI applications for co-piloting, chatbots, and more quickly and easily. More than 40 microservices support different AI models, including Meta Llama 3, Google Gemma, and Microsoft Phi-3.
