Nvidia, SoftBank collaborate on generative AI, 5G/6G

NEW DELHI: Chipmaker Nvidia and SoftBank Corp., have collaborated on a platform for driving generative artificial intelligence (AI) and 5G/6G applications based on the Nvidia GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip, which the Japanese multinational will roll out in its distributed AI data centers across Japan.

SoftBank will build data centers that can, in collaboration with Nvidia, host generative AI and wireless applications on a “multi-tenant common server platform, which reduces costs and is more energy efficient”, the companies said in a statement.

The platform will use the Nvidia MGX reference architecture with Arm Neoverse-based GH200 Superchips.
