The company is licensing technology and acquiring engineering talent from AI startup Poolside. More than 100 engineers are expected to join NVIDIA and work on its Nemotron project.
The move puts NVIDIA in competition with DeepSeek, OpenAI, and Anthropic. CEO Jensen Huang is betting that open-weight AI can help the US maintain its lead over China.
