According tothe Wall Street Journal, with this move, Nvidia targets the estimated $1 trillion AI agent market, which it believes could eventually replace much of today's enterprise software. NeMo microservices enable companies to develop AI agents using open-weight models – transparent alternatives to proprietary systems like those from OpenAI or Anthropic. However, the platform itself is not fully open-source. Nevertheless, these open models, from sources like Meta (META) and Mistral AI, expose the underlying architecture, offering greater flexibility and data control.
That's a critical advantage for enterprises working with sensitive or confidential information. 'We're focusing on where businesses need full control,' said Joey Conway, Nvidia's senior director of enterprise generative AI. 'And we're not seeing enough of the market serve those needs.'
What Does It Mean for Investors?
NeMo reflects a familiar but powerful Nvidia strategy for investors: combining its core GPU hardware with value-added software solutions. This playbook began with CUDA and has strengthened its ecosystem ever since. Another key benefit is that NeMo is cloud-agnostic, giving customers freedom from vendor lock-in—an attractive proposition for many IT leaders.
While enterprise adoption of AI agents has been slow due to training and data integration hurdles, NeMo aims to remove those barriers by streamlining how companies incorporate their proprietary data into AI workflows. Nvidia joins a competitive field that includes Microsoft (MSFT), Google (GOOG), Amazon (AMZN), and OpenAI. However, its dominance in AI infrastructure and proven developer tools could offer a strategic edge.
For investors, NeMo isn't just a product – it's a clear signal that Nvidia is extending its leadership beyond chips into the software intelligence layer that enterprises will increasingly rely on.
Is NVDA Stock a Buy?
Nvidia sports a Strong Buy rating, with an average price target of $168.49 for NVDA stock. This suggests a 60% upside potential.

Article content End-to-end use of industrial AI and advanced computing infrastructure to help significantly speed up safe integration and use of additional energy sources supporting central U.S. power grids. Article content Initial partnership objectives are to reduce generator interconnection analysis times by 80% while facilitating more informed decision-making. Objective to be achieved via advanced AI solutions from Hitachi, powered by NVIDIA's accelerated computing platform. Integrated solution comprised of multiple Hitachi capabilities including an AI-based power simulation algorithm, Hitachi-iQ-accelerated calculations, augmented simulation modelling, predictive analytics, as well as design and engineering services. Wide-ranging impacts to address imminent U.S. energy infrastructure needs by increasing planning processes' speed and efficiency; enabling SPP to better resolve energy capacity shortages, increase grid reliability, and improve emergency response capabilities. Subsequent partnership objectives to address alternative energy integration challenges and power transmission constraints. Article content SANTA CLARA, Calif. & LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE:6501, 'Hitachi') and Southwest Power Pool, Inc. (SPP) today announced a strategic partnership to solve critical and imminent problems slowing the modernization of U.S. energy infrastructure. The partnership will produce an integrated AI-based solution that accelerates generator interconnection (GI) by reducing study analysis times by 80% while also informing faster, higher-quality decision-making by GI customers. This will markedly improve SPP's ability to facilitate the addition of its 14-state region's generating capacity to keep pace with increasing demand for electricity. Article content U.S. energy demands are rising by 2 to 3 percent annually *1, driven by data center growth, expanding manufacturing, and electrification. Data centers alone are projected to consume up to 12 percent *2 of U.S. electricity by 2028, versus 4.4 percent in 2023. Such trends drive an alarming supply and demand gap as generating capacity margins in the SPP footprint could decline from 24 percent in 2020 to just 5 percent in 2029 unless an intervention occurs. Article content That intervention starts with end-to-end technical innovation, first at the point of generator interconnection. Currently, the U.S. generates 1.28 terawatts of power *3. More than twice that generated amount waits in a queue as unusable backlog caused by today's grid interconnect process. The long wait times are due to exhaustive, time-consuming analysis and simulation studies required to ensure that new energy source introductions don't compromise existing grid reliability, stability, or performance. Article content To address this gap, the three organizations will combine their industry and technical expertise. The partnership draws on multiple Hitachi competencies for a complete solution: Method's design services; GlobalLogic's software engineering services; Hitachi Energy's energy portfolio management asset modeling solutions; Hitachi R&D's AI-based energy grid algorithm; and Hitachi Vantara's integrated storage and compute platform Hitachi iQ, built on NVIDIA accelerated computing, networking, and AI software. Article content As the regional transmission organization (RTO) framing the project, SPP will guide the integration of these technical solutions and services, leveraging its deep expertise in energy grid optimization. As a reliability coordinator prioritizing operational and customer experience improvements, SPP's input will also ensure the project outcomes align with industry-wide requirements and regulations. 'Our nation's demand for electricity has risen sharply in recent years following a long period of slow growth. Our industry has struggled to keep up with this sudden and significant shift,' said SPP President and CEO Lanny Nickell. 'There are a lot of would-be power producers out there waiting to connect to the grid, but yesterday's systems and technology haven't been sufficient to enable us to bring incremental capacity online fast enough. It's time to fix that, and SPP is proud to work with Hitachi and NVIDIA, two AI industry leaders who have the means to help realize a vision of a better energy future for our nation.' Article content The integrated solution is an industrial AI system differentiated by its advanced proprietary AI algorithms and high performance enabled by Hitachi iQ's enterprise AI solution stack which sit at its core. Ultimately, dynamic AI-driven technologies will be applied to various study areas, such as: Article content The partnership with Hitachi and NVIDIA runs parallel to other improvements underway at SPP, including a from-the-ground-up reimagining of its transmission planning processes to align them with current and future industry needs. Together, these technological and process innovations are expected to set high-water marks in the electricity industry for generator interconnection, mid- and long-term planning, long-term forecast accuracy, analysis and deployment of additional grid-enhancing technologies, and more. Article content 'This initiative is about reimagining the electricity production and distribution process through the lens of modern AI technology,' said Frank Antonysamy, Chief Growth Officer, Hitachi Digital. 'Real-time data access is needed to create truly realistic scenarios caused by new generator introductions. The AI solution we're all developing will provide that data, among other advantages. SPP can then make significantly quicker, better-informed decisions that will increase overall ROI while better serving the nation's population with accessible power. We're proud to be a part of this important three-way collaboration addressing such a crucial problem.' Article content 'Interconnection process acceleration is critical to meet the unprecedented demand on our grid,' said Marc Spieler, Senior Managing Director of the Global Energy Industry at NVIDIA.

More Chinese groups using ChatGPT for covert operations, OpenAI says
OpenAI is seeing an increasing number of Chinese groups using its artificial intelligence technology for covert operations, which the ChatGPT maker described in a report released Thursday. While the scope and tactics employed by these groups have expanded, the operations detected were generally small in scale and targeted limited audiences, the San Francisco-based startup said. Since ChatGPT burst onto the scene in late 2022, there have been concerns about the potential consequences of generative AI technology, which can quickly and easily produce human-like text, imagery and audio. Data centres are popping up everywhere, but a jobs boom is unlikely Tech journalist Karen Hao takes aim at Sam Altman's OpenAI 'empire' OpenAI regularly releases reports on malicious activity it detects on its platform, such as creating and debugging malware, or generating fake content for websites and social media platforms. In one example, OpenAI banned ChatGPT accounts that generated social media posts on political and geopolitical topics relevant to China, including criticism of a Taiwan-centric video game, false accusations against a Pakistani activist and content related to the closure of USAID. Some content also criticized U.S. President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs, generating X posts such as 'Tariffs make imported goods outrageously expensive, yet the government splurges on overseas aid. Who's supposed to keep eating?' In another example, China-linked threat actors used AI to support various phases of their cyber operations, including open-source research, script modification, troubleshooting system configurations and development of tools for password brute forcing and social media automation. A third example that OpenAI found was a China-origin influence operation that generated polarized social media content supporting both sides of divisive topics within U.S. political discourse, including text and AI-generated profile images. China's Foreign Ministry did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment on OpenAI's findings. OpenAI has cemented its position as one of the world's most valuable private companies after announcing a US$40-billion funding round valuing the company at US$300-billion.

2 AI Growth Stocks That Could Help Set You Up for Life
The artificial intelligence (AI) market has grown like a weed over the past decade. That rapid expansion -- which was fueled by more sophisticated cloud computing services, large language models, and generative AI applications -- lit a blazing fire under some high-growth tech stocks. The most obvious winners are Nvidia, the world's top producer of discrete graphics processing units (GPUs) for processing AI tasks; and Microsoft, which acquired a big stake in OpenAI and integrated the start-up's AI tools into its own services. But there are still plenty of other under-the-radar AI growth plays that might have more upside potential. Let's look at two of them: Credo Technology (NASDAQ: CRDO) and Arm Holdings (NASDAQ: ARM). Credo Technology Credo, which went public in 2022, sells a wide range of high-speed connectivity solutions for the data center, cloud, and AI markets. Its core products include data transfer chips, digital signal processors, line card components, and active electric cables for data centers. From fiscal 2022 to fiscal 2025 (which ended this May), Credo's revenue grew at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 60%. It also turned profitable for the first time in fiscal 2025. Credo attributed that growth to the rapid expansion of the cloud and AI markets, which drove its hyperscale customers to aggressively upgrade their data center infrastructure. Its biggest customer -- widely believed to be Microsoft -- accounted for 39% of its revenue in fiscal 2024. That customer concentration isn't ideal, but it also isn't surprising considering how much Microsoft is prioritizing the expansion of its cloud and AI ecosystems. Its other major customers include Amazon and Tesla. From fiscal 2025 to fiscal 2027, analysts expect Credo's revenue to rise at a CAGR of 47% as its earnings per share (EPS) increase at a CAGR of 113%. That rapid growth could be driven by the continued expansion of the AI market, and a shift toward higher-speed ethernet connections that will spur demand for its new optical modules. There's also rising demand for its "chiplet" designs, which are more modular, customizable, and scalable than monolithic system on chips (SoCs), which merge together multiple chips on a single die. It isn't cheap at 64 times this year's earnings, but it could have plenty of room to run over the next few decades. Arm Holdings Arm is a U.K. chip designer which was acquired by Japan's SoftBank in 2016 and spun off again in a second IPO in 2023. It develops power-efficient CPUs that consume less power than the x86 CPUs produced by Intel and AMD. That makes Arm's chips well-suited for smartphones, tablets, Internet of Things (IoT) gadgets, connected vehicles, and even some notebook computers and servers. Its chip designs are now installed in approximately 99% of the world's smartphones, and most of its growth over the past few years has been fueled by its AI-optimized Armv9 designs. Arm's revenue rose 24% in fiscal 2025 (which ended this March), and analysts expect that figure to grow at a CAGR of 21% over the next three years. Its EPS, which surged 159% in fiscal 2025, is expected to grow at a CAGR of 41% through fiscal 2028. Arm originally only generated its revenue by licensing its designs to chipmakers like Qualcomm, MediaTek, and Apple instead of producing its own chips. But earlier this year, it announced that it would start developing its own first-party chips and outsource its production to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing. That surprising move would boost Arm's operating expenses and turn it into a direct competitor for some of its top clients. But it could also undercut other Arm-based chips because it doesn't need to pay any royalties or licensing fees for its own designs. Its first-party brand recognition could also make it a more appealing option than third-party Arm-based chips for OEMs. Arm's stock certainly isn't cheap at 113 times this year's earnings, but it could be a great long-term play on the market's growing demand for more power-efficient AI chips.
