Tata Group Announces Partnership With Nvidia To Build AI Infrastructure
Nvidia in collaboration with Tata Group will "build an AI supercomputer powered by the next-generation NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip."
Nvidia and Tata Group, on Friday, announced a partnership to deliver AI computing infrastructure and platforms for developing AI solutions. The announcement follows, the US chip designer's collaboration with Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries to develop India’s own foundation large language model trained on diverse languages and tailored for generative AI applications for the country.
Nvidia on Friday said that the collaboration with Tata Group "will bring state-of-the-art AI capabilities within reach to thousands of organizations, businesses and AI researchers, and hundreds of startups in India."
"The companies will work together to build an AI supercomputer powered by the next-generation NVIDIA® GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip to achieve performance that is best in class," the statement said.
“The global generative AI race is in full steam,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia. “Data centers worldwide are shifting to GPU computing to build energy-efficient infrastructure to support the exponential demand for generative AI.
“We are delighted to partner with Tata as they expand their cloud infrastructure service with Nvidia AI supercomputing to support the exponential demand of generative AI startups and processing of large language models,” Huang said.
Tata Communications and Nvidia will develop an AI cloud in India aimed at providing critical infrastructure that enables computing’s next lifecycle.
"Tata Communications’ robust global network combined with the AI cloud will empower enterprises to transfer data across the AI cloud at high speeds, enabling them to effectively bring the AI cloud to the doorstep of every enterprise," said the companies.
TCS will use the AI infrastructure and capabilities to build and process generative AI applications. The NVIDIA partnership will further enable TCS to collaborate with its customers to drive reimagination with an AI-first approach, the statement said. Adding that TCS will upskill its 600,000-strong workforce by leveraging the partnership.
