H2O.ai Expands NVIDIA Partnership To Accelerate Secure AI For Governments, Enterprises

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 31 (Bernama) -- H2O.ai, a global leader in agentic and predictive artificial intelligence (AI), has deepened its collaboration with NVIDIA to integrate NVIDIA Nemotron models, NIM microservices, and GPU-accelerated NVIDIA AI Blueprints for deployment by enterprises and governments worldwide.

Announced at NVIDIA GTC DC, the partnership positions H2O.ai within the NVIDIA AI Factory for Government reference design, enabling faster transitions from pilot projects to production-level AI while ensuring data sovereignty and trust.

“Our work with NVIDIA goes beyond technology; it is about trust, speed, and impact. As part of the NVIDIA AI Factory reference design, we are building the foundation for sovereign, trustworthy AI that serves both industry and society,” said H2O.ai founder and chief executive officer, Sri Ambati in a statement.

The collaboration spans three key integrations. First, H2O.ai is launching a Flood Intelligence Blueprint, powered by NVIDIA. The blueprint integrates authoritative weather and hydrology data from NOAA, USGS, and Open-Meteo with multi-agent AI systems to help governments, utilities, insurers, and first responders forecast, assess, and respond to extreme weather events in real time.

Second, the company is leveraging NVIDIA NIM microservices to accelerate large language model (LLM) operations. This integration streamlines model onboarding, testing, and scaling across enterprise AI workflows. Performance evaluations show that NVIDIA NIM significantly reduces setup time, operational overhead, and cost per run compared to open-source alternatives, while improving latency and throughput.

Third, H2O.ai has integrated NVIDIA’s Llama Nemotron Super 1.5 reasoning model, the world’s top-performing open reasoning model, directly into its enterprise h2oGPTe platform, which is designed to meet FedRAMP High and equivalent security standards.

This enables federal agencies to operate multi-LLM ecosystems within mission-critical environments, supporting applications such as disaster response, infrastructure resilience, and other high-impact operations.

These integrations build upon H2O.ai’s inclusion in the NVIDIA AI Factory for Federal Government whitepaper, a blueprint for accelerating trustworthy and secure AI adoption across the United States federal agencies. The recognition highlights H2O.ai’s contributions to Sovereign AI and AI for Good initiatives in the public sector.
