Nvidia announced Tuesday 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.

"Combining Dassault Systèmes’ Virtual Twin technologies with NVIDIA AI infrastructure, open models and accelerated software libraries will establish science-validated Industry World Models, and new ways of working through skilled virtual companions on the agentic 3DEXPERIENCE platform, that empower professionals with new expertise," the US tech company said in a statement.

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

Beginning with Dassault's Catia design software on Nvidia graphics processors and then growing into graphics processing unit-accelerated physics simulation using Nvidia's Cuda and RTX technologies, the alliance builds on more than 25 years of cooperation between the two firms.

According to the firms, the new deal represents a move toward "physical AI," in which AI systems are made to comprehend and reason about the real environment rather than relying only on text or images.

Dassault Systemes said it will use Nvidia infrastructure on three continents to implement "AI factories" under its Outscale cloud brand. They preserve data sovereignty, intellectual property protection and regulatory compliance while enabling clients to build and run AI models.

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