US EditionNvidia Bulks up Open Source Offerings with an Acquisition and New Open AI Models
Nvidia's acquisition of SchedMD strengthens its open-source AI infrastructure with continued open-source Slurm development and new efficient AI models, Nvidia said.
- On Dec 15, Nvidia, the semiconductor giant, announced it acquired SchedMD, an AI software firm, but financial terms were not disclosed.
- In recent months, Nvidia has pushed to bolster its open-source and open-AI offerings and added Cosmos world models workflows and guides, while SchedMD, founded by Morris `Moe` Jette and Danny Auble, employs 40 people.
- Earlier the same day, Nvidia introduced the Nemotron 3 family, which includes the Nemotron 3 Nano, Nemotron 3 Super and Nemotron 3 Ultra, claiming it is the most efficient family for AI agents.
- The company said it will continue to operate Slurm as open-source and vendor-neutral, invest to accelerate system access, and Nvidia shares rose 1.35% after the news.
- The move reflects Nvidia's bet that physical AI is the next frontier and it has worked with SchedMD for more than a decade, viewing Slurm as critical infrastructure tied to CUDA software.
