Give Nvidia credit, it’s not just talking up big ideas, it’s helping its customers achieve them. The vendor recently issued designs for AI factories after hyping up the idea for several months. Now it has come out with AI blueprints, essentially pre-built templates that give developers a jump start on creating AI systems.
The blueprints were announced at both Consumer Electronics Show, where CEO Jensen Huang delivered a keynote and discussed blueprints among many other announcements, and in a blog post by Justin Boitano, vice president for Enterprise AI.
These blueprints come packaged as “launchables,” meaning they can be deployed instantly and out-of-the-box. But developers will want to customize and modify them, so they can make the necessary changes that they need. Either way, it beats starting over from scratch every time to launch a new project, according to the company.
“All of this is completely open source, and so you could take it and modify the blueprints,” Huang said during his keynote.
The blueprints come from Nvidia and its partners. Nvidia has included two blueprints in the collection to start: one that turns PDFs into podcasts and another for video analysis. The video blueprint can analyze footage 30 times faster than real-time playback, according to Nvidia.
In addition, five AI partner companies have produced specialized blueprints: CrewAI introduced a blueprint for automated code documentation; Daily offered one featuring voice recognition for AI agents; LangChain developed templates for generating structured reports; LlamaIndex designed research tools for blog posts; and Weights & Biases contributed blueprints for virtual AI assistants.
The blueprints require Nvidia’s AI Enterprise Software, which means it can only be run on cloud services from AWS, Google, Microsoft, and Oracle or Nvidia certified data center equipment from Dell, HPE, Lenovo, and Supermicro.
The blueprints run on Nvidia’s new Nemotron models, built on Meta’s Llama LLM. Nemotron comes in two components, Llama Nemotron for text processing and Cosmos Nemotron for image analysis. The AI blueprints include Nvidia NIM microservices, Nvidia NeMo, and agentic AI frameworks from leading providers.
