NVIDIA and Partners Unveil NIM Agent Blueprints to Accelerate AI Application Development

NVIDIA,
in
collaboration
with
several
global
partners,
has
introduced
NIM
Agent
Blueprints,
a
comprehensive
catalog
of
customizable
AI
workflows
aimed
at
accelerating
the
deployment
of
core
generative
AI
use
cases
in
enterprises.
The
announcement
comes
as
part
of
NVIDIA’s
ongoing
efforts
to
provide
enterprise
developers
with
advanced
tools
for
building
and
operationalizing
AI

Customizable
AI
Workflows
for
Enterprises

The
NIM
Agent
Blueprints
offer
a
jump-start
for
developers
working
on
AI
applications
that
utilize
one
or
more
AI
agents.
These
blueprints
include
sample
applications
built
with
NVIDIA
NeMo™,
NIM™,
and
partner
microservices,
along
with
reference
code,
customization
documentation,
and
a
Helm
chart
for
deployment.
According
to
NVIDIA,
enterprises
can
modify
these
blueprints
using
their
business
data
and
run
their
generative
AI
applications
across
accelerated
data
centers
and
clouds.

Initial
Use
Cases
and
Availability

The
first
set
of
NIM
Agent
Blueprints
includes
workflows
for
customer
service
digital
humans,
generative
virtual
screening
for
drug
discovery,
and
multimodal
PDF
data
extraction
for
enterprise
retrieval-augmented
generation
(RAG).
These
blueprints
are
free
for
developers
to
download
and
can
be
deployed
in
production
with
the
NVIDIA
AI
Enterprise
software
platform.
