AI is establishing itself as core business infrastructure, and its ecosystem requires diversity composed of large/small, open/proprietary, and general-purpose/specialized models. Future AI innovation will be realized not through a single giant model, but through a system in which models tuned to the needs of various industries collaborate.

NVIDIA is one of the most active organizations on Hugging Face, with a team of about 4,000 members. It recently announced the NVIDIA Nemotron Coalition, launching a global collaboration to advance open frontier-class foundation models.

The coalition's first project is a base model jointly developed by Mistral AI and NVIDIA. This model will be shared with the open ecosystem and is set to become the foundation for the next generation of NVIDIA Nemotron models, which have already been downloaded more than 45 million times.

At a GTC panel session, the following key insights were highlighted:

  • AI agents are evolving into colleague-level entities capable of performing complex tasks.
  • AI should operate not as a single model but as an orchestration system spanning multimodal, multi-model, and multi-cloud environments.
  • Open source serves as essential knowledge infrastructure that accelerates the advancement of AI science and intelligence.
