Open source advances through collaboration. NVIDIA builds frontier open models and contributes data, software, and standards across the AI ecosystem.
Open source is fundamental to making accelerated computing broadly accessible and usable across industries. NVIDIA champions and invests in open models and platforms to spark innovation, grow ecosystems, and empower enterprises to integrate and deploy AI with control and scale.
Ecosystem
Open source foundations are critical to ensuring the long-term sustainability, security, and governance of open source projects. NVIDIA supports many of these foundations and consortiums, both financially and through participation in governing boards and technical advisory boards or committees.
NVIDIA Models
Intelligence is more than just language. NVIDIA open model families span how machines reason, see the physical world, move through it, drive, and read biology.
Being able to download a model doesn't mean much if you can't reproduce it, otherwise, it's just a licensed black box. NVIDIA publishes the full pipeline: the weights, the data, the recipe, and the tools to evaluate how to get there. Verify the results yourself—no need to take anyone's word for it.
