Nvidia Teams Up with Equinix and Together AI for Open-Model Inference

Nvidia has partnered with Equinix and Together AI to provide enterprise customers with a new way to run open-model inference without building their own GPU-packed data centers. This move could reshape how mid-market companies access cutting-edge AI compute.

The partnership aims to help enterprises plug directly into Nvidia's chips without committing to a single cloud provider. Equinix brings the physical real estate, fiber connectivity, and proximity to enterprise customers who don't want their AI workloads sitting three cloud regions away from their own infrastructure.

This matters because inference, not training, is quickly becoming the bigger cost center for companies deploying AI at scale. Enterprises running customer-facing AI features need that inference happening close to where their data already lives.
