An expansion of the strategic collaboration between US chipmaker Nvidia and IT giant Infosys was announced on Wednesday. Nvidia will provide Infosys with its artificial intelligence (AI) models, tools, applications, and compute infrastructure as part of the agreement; Infosys will teach 50,000 of its over 3.36 lakh employees on Nvidia's AI stack through a dedicated centre of excellence (CoE).

In a stock exchange filing, Nandan Nilekani, co-founder and chairman of Infosys, India’s second-largest information technology (IT) services firm by market capitalization, said that the company was “transforming into an AI-first company to better provide AI-based services to our clients worldwide."

“Our clients are also looking at complex AI use cases that can drive significant business value across their entire value chain," Nilekani also said, adding further that the company is in process of developing “end to end AI solutions."

The strategic partnership's applications will be made accessible to Infosys' clients as demand and capacity increase. Some of the key applications include a computer vision offering through Infosys’ Video Analytics platform, which in turn will be based on Nvidia’s Metropolis computer vision infrastructure platform. 

Using the 'NeMo' LLM framework from Nvidia, Infosys will also provide specialised enterprise large language models (LLM). Clients of Infosys will also get access to translational use cases built on Nvidia's Riva generative AI technology through Infosys' 'Cortex' platform.
