Lenovo and NVIDIA Enhance Business Productivity with Scalable Hybrid AI Solutions
At NVIDIA GTC, introduced its latest innovation, the Lenovo Hybrid AI Advantage with NVIDIA. These advanced solutions are specifically designed to accelerate AI adoption and enhance business productivity by expediting the deployment of agentic AI, which can reason, plan, and execute tasks more efficiently. By providing a validated, full-stack AI solution, enterprises can swiftly build and deploy AI agents for various high-demand applications, boosting productivity, agility, and trust while propelling the next wave of AI reasoning in this new era of agentic AI.
A recent global study by IDC, commissioned by Lenovo, underscores a significant challenge: despite a threefold increase in AI investment, return on investment (ROI) remains a primary barrier to adoption. AI agents are transforming enterprise workflows by assisting employees with complex problem-solving, coding, and multi-step planning, ultimately accelerating speed, innovation, and productivity. As CIOs and business leaders seek measurable returns on AI investments, Lenovo’s hybrid AI solutions offer an optimal path to unlocking and customizing agentic AI at any scale.
Lenovo’s AI solutions integrate its comprehensive AI portfolio with ready-to-customize use cases, augmented by cutting-edge platform options. These solutions will leverage the NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra platform, NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs, and next-generation networking innovations to enable organizations to expedite applications such as AI reasoning, agentic AI, and real-time video generation.
“Lenovo continues to drive smarter AI for all, bringing together AI models, data, and computing power—running across devices, edge, and cloud, and connected via network infrastructure—to deliver AI solutions that enhance human innovation and enable significant productivity gains,” said Lenovo Chairman and CEO Yuanqing Yang. “Lenovo Hybrid AI Advantage with NVIDIA integrates advanced services and the latest Blackwell-accelerated infrastructure, allowing enterprises to scale agentic AI across both private and public AI models efficiently. The results include improved effectiveness, cost-efficiency, security, accessibility, and customization.”
NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang echoed these sentiments: “AI agents that can reason and adapt are redefining how we work. NVIDIA and Lenovo are delivering the essential infrastructure to power AI inference and reasoning at scale—bringing generative and agentic AI from research labs into real-world enterprise applications.”
Hybrid AI Fuels the Next Generation of Agentic AI
Enterprise data is ubiquitous, spanning industries such as manufacturing, retail, banking, and healthcare. Hybrid AI infrastructure enables the collection, storage, and processing of this data before feeding it into enterprise AI models for training in the hybrid cloud. These models then perform inferencing at the edge or directly on user devices.
Lenovo’s latest offerings capitalize on its hybrid infrastructure expertise and the newly launched Lenovo Hybrid AI Advantage with NVIDIA, facilitating the seamless scaling of agentic AI across diverse business environments. This factory-like approach enables organizations to transform raw data into meaningful insights and operational excellence.
Fully Validated and Tested Agentic AI Use Cases
The Lenovo Hybrid AI Advantage with NVIDIA framework includes the Lenovo AI Library, which encompasses a broad portfolio of tested and validated use cases, ensuring teams can optimize AI applications with confidence. Key application areas include:
- Content Generation: Automating content creation up to 8x faster, enhancing quality, and personalizing customer interactions.
- Customer Service: Improving efficiency by 50% through reduced response times, chatbot automation, and decreased handling times by 20%.
- Knowledge Assistants: Breaking down data silos, fostering knowledge sharing, and automating workflows, such as contract reviews. Legal teams have reported productivity increases of up to 80% and accuracy improvements of 45%.
At NVIDIA GTC, Lenovo unveiled the Lenovo AI Knowledge Assistant, an interactive digital human assistant that provided real-time assistance to attendees, transforming their event experiences and navigation. Built on the Lenovo agentic AI platform, this solution enables businesses to rapidly customize Lenovo AI Library use cases and deploy new AI assistants within weeks.
Attendees engaged with the AI assistant using natural voice commands, inquiring about event details, maps, schedules, and meeting locations—maximizing efficiency and enhancing overall user experience. This demonstration underscores how Lenovo’s tested and proven solutions empower businesses to integrate customized agentic AI swiftly and effectively.
Scalable Hybrid AI Factory for Enterprise Growth
As AI workloads increasingly demand accelerated computing, Lenovo is pioneering scalable AI factories—high-performance, secure environments designed to facilitate the rapid development and deployment of AI solutions. These validated platforms support multiple workloads, employing standardized, modular hybrid deployment strategies.
Lenovo’s AI factory platforms include workstations, servers, networking, storage, partner solutions, and services, all built on Lenovo Validated Designs that align with NVIDIA Enterprise Reference Architectures and NVIDIA-Certified Lenovo ThinkSystem servers. The factory configurations include the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR675, 680, and 685 servers, powered by NVIDIA Hopper GPUs, NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, NVIDIA Grace™ CPUs, NVIDIA Spectrum-X networking, and NVIDIA BlueField DPUs.
The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR675 V3 server, featuring NVIDIA H200 NVL GPUs and NVIDIA Networking, delivers top-tier AI performance, scaling seamlessly from a four-GPU starter system to a fully optimized rack-scale unit. This architecture allows enterprises of all sizes to deploy hybrid AI factories efficiently or extend their existing IT infrastructure.
Lenovo’s AI factory ecosystem also includes:
- AI-ready Lenovo ThinkStation PX workstations featuring NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Workstation Edition GPUs and NVIDIA AI Workbench for developers.
- Lenovo Neptune liquid-cooled AI infrastructure, engineered for high-efficiency AI processing at scale, leveraging NVIDIA accelerated computing to address LLM workloads for cloud service providers.
- Lenovo AI Fast Start services, enabling rapid deployment and scaling, ensuring businesses can implement AI solutions and demonstrate value in 90 days or less.
Powering AI Breakthroughs Across Industries
Lenovo’s hybrid AI solutions are already transforming industries such as healthcare, finance, manufacturing, and retail. Applications range from automating compliance reporting to enhancing customer experiences through AI-driven recommendations.
For instance, Lenovo and NVIDIA have partnered with the Technical University of Darmstadt in Germany to develop an advanced AI research project featuring the NVIDIA GB200 system. The initiative incorporates Lenovo’s energy-efficient ThinkSystem SC777 V4 Neptune, a high-performance server leveraging sixth-generation Neptune direct water-cooling technology.
In the healthcare sector, Artificial Intelligence System for Human Analysis (AISHA) leveraged a Lenovo and NVIDIA hybrid AI solution to develop an AI model for MRI analysis. This AI-driven approach enables full-body scan evaluations in just 30 minutes—over 99% faster than manual analysis—enhancing diagnostic accuracy and streamlining patient check-ups.
“Without the power of the Lenovo and NVIDIA solution, the model would simply not be able to exist. Lenovo and NVIDIA are unmatched in the field of AI,” said Dr. Juan Pablo Reyes Gonzalez, Head of AISHA.
The Future of AI is Hybrid
Lenovo’s Hybrid AI Advantage with NVIDIA is simplifying AI adoption, enabling organizations to harness data from any source and translate it into meaningful business value. As industries continue to embrace AI, Lenovo’s scalable, secure, and high-performance solutions will remain at the forefront of innovation.
