‘We Would Like to Achieve Superhuman Productivity,’ NVIDIA CEO Says as Lenovo Brings Smarter AI to Enterprises

In a move to accelerate enterprise AI innovation, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang joined Lenovo CEO Yuanqing Yang on stage during the Lenovo Tech World 2024 keynote.

Together, they introduced the Lenovo Hybrid AI Advantage with NVIDIA, a comprehensive platform designed to build and deploy AI capabilities across enterprises, enhancing speed, innovation, and productivity.

“We would like to achieve essentially superhuman productivity,” Huang told a crowd gathered in-person and online for Lenovo’s Seattle event. “And these AI agents are helping employees across industries to be more efficient and productive.”

Additionally, they revealed a new high-performance AI server featuring Lenovo’s Neptune liquid-cooling technology and NVIDIA Blackwell, which marks a significant advancement in sustainability and energy efficiency for AI systems.

“This is going to be the largest of industrial revolutions we’ve ever seen,” Huang noted, highlighting the profound impact AI is having on industries worldwide. “And we’re seeing, in the last 12 months or so, just an extraordinary awakening in every single industry, every single company, every single country.”

Lenovo Unveils Hybrid AI Advantage With NVIDIA

The Lenovo Hybrid AI Advantage with NVIDIA leverages Lenovo's services and infrastructure combined with NVIDIA's AI software and accelerated computing to empower organizations in creating agentic AI and physical AI. This platform enhances the ability to transform data into actionable business outcomes more efficiently, driving innovation and improving operational effectiveness.

“Our strategy is to combine modularization with customization so that we can respond quickly to customer needs while tailoring our solutions for them,” Yang said.

Introducing Lenovo AI Fast Start and Hybrid AI Solutions

As part of the Lenovo Hybrid AI Advantage, Lenovo has introduced *Lenovo AI Fast Start*, a service designed to accelerate the development of generative AI solutions. This service utilizes the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform, which includes tools like NVIDIA NIM microservices and NVIDIA NeMo for building AI agents, enabling customers to demonstrate the business value of AI use cases across personal, enterprise, and public platforms within weeks.

Lenovo AI Fast Start provides organizations with access to AI assets, experts, and partners, allowing for tailored solutions that meet specific business needs, thereby expediting large-scale deployment. The platform features the *Lenovo AI Service Library*, offering a set of preconfigured AI solutions that can be customized to various industries and use cases.

The integration of NVIDIA NIM, NeMo, and NIM Agent Blueprints allows businesses to rapidly develop and deploy AI agents suited to their particular needs, speeding up AI adoption. Additionally, support for *NVIDIA Omniverse* enables the use of digital twin simulations for physical AI applications, while NeMo optimizes large language models. Together, these tools empower enterprises to leverage advanced AI technologies for both agentic and physical AI solutions across industries.

Energy Efficiency and AI Infrastructure

Yang and Huang underscored the vital importance of energy-efficient AI infrastructure, highlighting the necessity of sustainable solutions to meet the increasing demands of AI technologies.

“Speed is sustainability. Speed is performance. Speed is energy efficiency,” Huang said, stressing how performance improvements directly contribute to reducing energy consumption and increasing efficiency.

“Lenovo’s 6th Generation Neptune Liquid Cooling solution supports AI computing and high-performance computing while delivering better energy efficiency,” Yang said.

Neptune reduces data center power consumption by up to 40%, enabling businesses to run AI workloads more efficiently while cutting operational costs and minimizing environmental impact.

Aligned with this, Lenovo’s TruScale infrastructure services provide a flexible, cloud-based model that grants organizations access to AI computing power without requiring significant upfront investment in physical infrastructure, allowing businesses to scale their deployments as needed.

Introducing Lenovo ThinkSystem SC777 V4 Neptune With NVIDIA Blackwell

The CEOs unveiled the ThinkSystem SC777 V4 Neptune server, equipped with NVIDIA GB200 Grace Blackwell. This fully liquid-cooled system eliminates the need for fans or specialized air conditioning in data centers. It fits into a standard rack and operates on regular power.

“To an engineer, this is sexy,” Huang said, referring to the ThinkSystem SC777 V4 Neptune server he and Yang had just unveiled.

The SC777 includes next-gen NVIDIA NVLink interconnect, supporting NVIDIA Quantum-2 InfiniBand or Spectrum-X Ethernet networking. It also supports NVIDIA AI Enterprise software with NIM microservices.

“Our partnership spans from infrastructure to software and to service level,” Yang said. “Together, we deploy enterprise AI agents to our customers.”
