Alibaba to offer Nvidia’s physical AI development tools in its AI platform


Alibaba said on Wednesday that it is integrating Nvidia's AI development tools for robotics, self-driving cars and connected spaces into its Cloud Platform for AI.

The Chinese e-commerce giant will offer Nvidia’s Physical AI software stack, which can construct 3D replicas of real-world environments to generate synthetic data with which AI models can be trained for robotics, self-driving vehicles, or smart spaces like factories and warehouses. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, but this marks a significant collaboration, as it brings together the world’s foremost developer of chips optimized for training AI models, and a major cloud services and AI model developer. The company said on Wednesday that it is ramping up spending on AI tech past its previous $50 billion budget, and outlined plans to launch its first data centers in Brazil, France, and the Netherlands.
