AI is fueling a new industrial revolution - one driven by AI factories.
Unlike traditional data centers, AI factories do more than store and process data - they manufacture intelligence at scale, transforming raw data into real-time insights. For enterprises and countries around the world, this means dramatically faster time to value - turning AI from a long-term investment into an immediate driver of competitive advantage. Companies that invest in purpose-built AI factories today will lead in innovation, efficiency and market differentiation tomorrow.
While a traditional data center typically handles diverse workloads and is built for general-purpose computing, AI factories are optimized to create value from AI. They orchestrate the entire AI lifecycle - from data ingestion to training, fine-tuning and, most critically, high-volume inference.
For AI factories, intelligence isn't a byproduct but the primary one. This intelligence is measured by AI token throughput - the real-time predictions that drive decisions, automation and entirely new services.
While traditional data centers aren't disappearing anytime soon, whether they evolve into AI factories or connect to them depends on the enterprise business model.
Regardless of how enterprises choose to adapt, AI factories powered by NVIDIA are already manufacturing intelligence at scale, transforming how AI is built, refined and deployed.
The Scaling Laws Driving Compute Demand Over the past few years, AI has revolved around training large models. But with the recent proliferation of AI reasoning models, inference has become the main driver of AI economics. Three key scaling laws highlight why:
Pretraining scaling: Larger datasets and model parameters yield predictable intelligence gains, but reaching this stage demands significant investment in skilled experts, data curation and compute resources. Over the last five years, pretraining scaling has increased compute requirements by 50 million times. However, once a model is trained, it significantly lowers the barrier for others to build on top of it.
Post-training scaling: Fine-tuning AI models for specific real-world applications requires 30x more compute during AI inference than pretraining. As organizations adapt existing models for their unique needs, cumulative demand for AI infrastructure skyrockets.
Test-time scaling (aka long thinking): Advanced AI applications such as agentic AI or physical AI require iterative reasoning, where models explore multiple possible responses before selecting the best one. This consumes up to 100x more compute than traditional inference.
Traditional data centers aren't designed for this new era of AI. AI factories are purpose-built to optimize and sustain this massive demand for compute, providing an ideal path forward for AI inference and deployment.
Reshaping Industries and Economies With Tokens Across the world, governments and enterprises are racing to build AI factories to spur economic growth, innovation and efficiency.
The European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking recently announced plans to build seven AI factories in collaboration with 17 European Union member nations.
This follows a wave of AI factory investments worldwide, as enterprises and countries accelerate AI-driven economic growth across every industry and region:
India: Yotta Data Services has partnered with NVIDIA to launch the Shakti Cloud Platform, helping democratize access to advanced GPU resources. By integrating NVIDIA AI Enterprise software with open-source tools, Yotta provides a seamless environment for AI development and deployment.
Japan: Leading cloud providers - including GMO Internet, Highreso, KDDI, Rutilea and SAKURA internet - are building NVIDIA-powered AI infrastructure to transform industries such as robotics, automotive, healthcare and telecom.
Norway: Telenor has launched an NVIDIA-powered AI factory to accelerate AI adoption across the Nordic region, focusing on workforce upskilling and sustainability.
These initiatives underscore a global reality: AI factories are quickly becoming essential national infrastructure, on par with telecommunications and energy.
Inside an AI Factory: Where Intelligence Is Manufactured Foundation models, secure customer data and AI tools provide the raw materials for fueling AI factories, where inference serving, prototyping and fine-tuning shape powerful, customized models ready to be put into production.
As these models are deployed into real-world applications, they continuously learn from new data, which is stored, refined and fed back into the system using a data flywheel. This cycle of optimization ensures AI remains adaptive, efficient and always improving - driving enterprise intelligence at an unprecedented scale.
AI factories powered by NVIDIA for manufacturing enterprise intelligence at scale. An AI Factory Advantage With Full-Stack NVIDIA AI NVIDIA delivers a complete, integrated AI factory stack where every layer - from the silicon to the software - is optimized for training, fine-tuning, and inference at scale. This full-stack approach ensures enterprises can deploy AI factories that are cost effective, high-performing and future-proofed for the exponential growth of AI.
With its ecosystem partners, NVIDIA has created building blocks for the full-stack AI factory, offering:
