Good morning, CIOs. Nvidia this week joined the ranks of companies like OpenAI, Microsoft, Amazon and Google in aiming to help businesses build AI agents with its own platform, NeMo microservices.

As the WSJ's Belle Lin reports, the move to sell software for agents is not outside the chip giant's playbook of building an ecosystem of AI systems and software to work with its chips. See, for example, its popular Compute Unified Device Architecture, or CUDA.

Joey Conway, a senior director of generative AI software for enterprise at Nvidia, tells the WSJ that traditionally it has been difficult for developers to train models while preparing their corporate data. That’s one gap NeMo microservices aims to fill, he said, by making agent-building easier with a system for incorporating private business data.

While agent adoption has been limited so far this past year, Nvidia anticipates a shift. 

Nvidia pegs the size of the AI agent market at $1 trillion—roughly the same as the enterprise software market that it predicts agents will replace. Read the story.
