"Nvidia continues to expand its footprint in open source AI on two fronts: an acquisition and a new model release. The semiconductor giant announced Monday it acquired SchedMD, the leading developer of popular open source workload management system Slurm. Nvidia said the company will continue to operate the program, which is designed for high-performance computing and AI, as an open source, vendor-neutral software."
"The semiconductor company also released a new family of open AI models on Monday. The company claimed this group of models, called Nvidia Nemotron 3, is the most "efficient family of open models" for building accurate AI agents. This model family includes the Nemotron 3 Nano, a small model for targeted tasks, the Nemotron 3 Super, a model built for multi-AI agent applications, and Nemotron 3 Ultra, built for more complicated tasks."
Nvidia acquired SchedMD, the developer of the Slurm workload management system, and will continue operating Slurm as open source, vendor-neutral software. Slurm originated in 2002 and SchedMD was founded in 2010 by Morris Jette and Danny Auble, who remains CEO. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Nvidia stated it has collaborated with SchedMD for more than a decade and called the technology critical infrastructure for generative AI, with plans to keep investing and accelerate system access. Nvidia also released the Nemotron 3 family—Nano, Super, and Ultra—positioned as efficient open models for building accurate AI agents.
