Paris: Nvidia announced a long-term partnership with the French software company Dassault Systemes to develop a shared industrial AI platform that supports applications across several industries by combining large-scale AI infrastructure.

According to Anadolu Agency, the collaboration aims to advance industrial AI beyond point products by firmly establishing AI systems in technical restrictions, physics, and verified industry knowledge. The end result will be "industry world models" that can be utilized as systems of record for creating, modeling, and running intricate products and manufacturing processes.

Beginning with Dassault's Catia design software on Nvidia graphics processors and then expanding into graphics processing unit-accelerated physics simulation using Nvidia's Cuda and RTX technologies, the alliance builds on over 25 years of cooperation between the two firms. The new deal represents a move toward "physical AI," where AI systems comprehend and reason about the real environment.

Dassault Systemes plans to use Nvidia infrastructure on three continents to implement "AI factories" under its Outscale cloud brand, ensuring data sovereignty, intellectual property protection, and regulatory compliance. This will enable clients to build and run AI models effectively.

To further develop its AI capabilities, Nvidia is utilizing Dassault's model-based systems engineering tools, starting with the flagship Nvidia Rubin platform. Nvidia's Omniverse DSX Blueprint for large-scale AI factory deployment will employ the same strategy.
