NVIDIA and Microsoft have announced a significant partnership to bring agentic AI deployment across various platforms, including Windows devices, cloud, and local. This move is expected to revolutionize the way developers build, run, and scale agentic and physical AI systems.
NVIDIA and Microsoft announce a partnership to bring agentic AI deployment across various platforms, including Windows devices, cloud, and local. The partnership includes hardware advancements such as RTX Spark laptops and DGX Station for Windows, offering improved AI performance and scalability. Microsoft and NVIDIA are collaborating on token economics, power, cooling, and networking to optimize agentic AI systems. Microsoft integrates NVIDIA's open source physical AI skills and tools with Azure and its Physical AI Toolchain. The partnership also includes the deployment of NVIDIA's open model portfolio on Microsoft Foundry, expanding access to agentic, physical, and scientific AI models. NVIDIA accelerated computing is integrated into Microsoft Fabric Data Warehouse, accelerating SQL execution up to 6x faster than CPU-powered baseline. Microsoft brings Foundry Local on Azure Local to the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition platform for high-performance AI workloads. NVIDIA OpenShell is integrated into GitHub Copilot, providing secure agent development capabilities with sandboxed containers and policy-based access control.
NVIDIA and Microsoft have announced a significant partnership to bring agentic AI deployment across various platforms, including Windows devices, cloud, and local. This move is expected to revolutionize the way developers build, run, and scale agentic and physical AI systems.
At the recent Microsoft Build event, Jensen Huang, NVIDIA's founder and CEO, joined Satya Nadella, Microsoft's chairman and CEO, via livestream from Taipei to discuss the expanded partnership. The two companies showcased how developers can leverage the power of NVIDIA's accelerated computing stack, including NVIDIA RTX Spark and DGX Station for Windows, to build, run, and scale agentic AI systems.
RTX Spark is a new line of laptops and small desktops that are purpose-built for personal agents, offering 1 petaflop of AI performance, up to 128GB of unified memory, and all-day battery life. This system is expected to arrive this fall from major manufacturers such as Microsoft Surface, ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, and MSI.
DGX Station for Windows is the most powerful deskside AI supercomputer designed for building and running agents on Windows enterprise applications and workflows. Powered by NVIDIA's GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Desktop Superchip, it offers up to 748GB of coherent memory and 20 petaflops of FP4 performance. This system is expected from ASUS, Dell, GIGABYTE, HP, MSI, and Supermicro in Q4.
In addition to the hardware advancements, Microsoft and NVIDIA are also working together to optimize token economics and power, cooling, NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet, and Multipath Reliable Connection (MRC) transport protocol. This collaboration has resulted in the validation of NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform for deployment across Azure data centers, delivering up to 10x inference throughput per megawatt and reducing cost per agentic token by an order of magnitude.
Furthermore, Microsoft is integrating NVIDIA's open source physical AI skills and tools with Azure and its Physical AI Toolchain. Developers can now simulate, train, and deploy autonomous systems using Cosmos 3's mixture-of-transformers architecture, which ranks first among open models on key benchmarks for vision reasoning, world generation, and action generation.
The partnership also includes the deployment of NVIDIA's open model portfolio on Microsoft Foundry, spanning agentic, physical, and scientific AI. Developers can now access a wide range of models, including Nemotron 3 Ultra, Nematron 3.5 ASR, and Nematron 3.5 Content Safety. The NVIDIA Agent Toolkit and NVIDIA NemoClaw blueprints provide an open source platform for building production agents on Foundry.
NVIDIA accelerated computing is also built into Microsoft Fabric Data Warehouse, accelerating SQL execution up to 6x faster than the CPU-powered baseline and up to 7x faster than three other leading cloud data warehouse providers for high-concurrency workloads. This collaboration has resulted in years of deep engineering collaboration between NVIDIA and Microsoft, from research to production.
Microsoft is also bringing Foundry Local on Azure Local to the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition platform. Paired with the NVIDIA Nemotron open model family, enterprises can run high-performance AI workloads where their data resides, without sacrificing performance or governance.
Finally, NVIDIA OpenShell is now integrated into GitHub Copilot, providing secure agent development capabilities. Each agent runs isolated in its own sandboxed container, and every outbound call is evaluated against policy before it can reach files, networks, or credentials. Policies are written as code, versioned in the repository, and updatable on the fly.
