NVIDIA offers NIM (NVIDIA Inference Microservices), a set of prepackaged AI model containers that let developers and enterprises deploy large language models and other AI models in minutes rather than weeks, across clouds, data centers, and local workstations. NIM became generally available to developers in June 2024.
Details
NIM microservices provide pre-optimized AI model containers built on inference engines including NVIDIA TensorRT, TensorRT-LLM, vLLM, and SGLang, along with industry-standard APIs, runtime dependencies, and enterprise-grade support. Developers can access NIM for models from NVIDIA and partners through the NVIDIA Developer Program for free research and development, or in production via the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform. NIM reduces model deployment times from weeks to minutes and has been embedded into platforms from Amazon SageMaker, Microsoft Azure AI, and over 150 ecosystem partners.

Other practices by NVIDIA
Data AnalysisNVIDIA offers Morpheus, an open-source AI cybersecurity framework that allows enterprises and security vendors to build real-time pipelines for detecting threats such as anomalous user behavior, spear phishing emails, and sensitive data leakage across data center networks. Best Buy's CISO cited the framework as a foundation for ML-based anomaly detection at the April 2021 launch; Booz Allen Hamilton has built a product called Cyber Precog on top of Morpheus for use by its own customers.Creative GenNVIDIA offers Picasso, a cloud service that lets businesses build applications capable of generating images, videos, and 3D objects from text prompts using NVIDIA's Edify foundation models. Enterprise customers including Getty Images, Shutterstock, and Adobe have integrated these tools into their own creative platforms.OtherNVIDIA deployed Cosmos, an open-source platform of world foundation models that generates physics-based synthetic video data to help robotics companies and autonomous vehicle developers train their AI systems without needing as much real-world data collection. Cosmos launched at CES in January 2025 and was adopted by companies including Agility Robotics, Figure AI, Uber, and Waabi.
