Google and Nvidia deepen partnership on AI and robotics

Google's CEO Sundar Pichai has announced that the partnership between Google and Nvidia is growing stronger. They will focus on areas like agentic AI, robotics, and faster computing solutions. Pichai expressed excitement about this next phase of collaboration. He highlighted how the partnership has evolved from the early days of Android to now, where they work together on advanced AI technologies. The collaboration aims to bring the advantages of AI to more people around the world. In a recent blog post, Google outlined several key initiatives. They plan to integrate Nvidia's powerful GPUs into Google Cloud's AI infrastructure. This will improve the training and deployment of AI models. Google announced that it has launched A4 VMs using Nvidia's latest technology and is preparing to introduce new VM options soon. The partnership also aims to make AI tools more accessible. Google DeepMind and Nvidia are working on the Gemini AI model to ensure developers can use it easily. Recently, they introduced an open AI model called Gemma 3, which is optimized for Nvidia GPUs. Moreover, Nvidia has started using Google DeepMind's watermarking tool in its video generation platform. Additionally, the two companies are joining forces to address global challenges. They are researching ways to enhance energy grid simulations and improve drug discovery using AI. In robotics, they’re focused on helping robots grasp objects better and have launched a new open-source physics simulator for robotics research.
