Lenovo has introduced new Lenovo Hybrid AI Advantage solutions with NVIDIA, designed to accelerate AI adoptionreduce time to first token (TTFT) and deliver measurable business results in personal, enterprise and cloud environments. Building on the inference acceleration showcased at Lenovo Tech World, this new implementation phase of Hybrid AI extends the ecosystem from device to data center to gigawatt-scale AI cloud deployments, enabling real-time decision making, operational efficiency, and intelligent automation across industries on a global scale.
The GTC 2026 conference being held this week in California, with a massive presence of all the major technology companies, is confirming the current importance of NVIDIA in the AI business ecosystem. As the application of artificial intelligence moves from training models to driving decisions in real time, inference is becoming the new frontier where companies generate value. For this reason, organizations need infrastructure capable of performing both tasks and operating securely in edge, data center, and cloud environments.

“Lenovo and NVIDIA are uniquely positioned to help organizations put AI into practice, from experimental to enterprise production to AI gigafactories in the cloud.”said Yuanqing Yang, president and CEO of Lenovo. “As agentive AI drives exponential growth in inference workloads, cost control and performance per token become critical. By combining NVIDIA AI Enterprise software with Lenovo full-stack hybrid AI platforms and services, we enable customers to scale AI with greater efficiency, lower cost per token, and faster time to production.”.
Lenovo and NVIDIA are Taking AI from development environments to real production on a global scale thanks to Lenovo’s new AI inference platforms with NVIDIA Dynamo and NVIDIA NIM, Lenovo’s cloud AI “gigafactory” powered by NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72, and industry-specific agentive AI solutions developed with NVIDIA Blueprints and its software.

AI development devices capable of supporting models with up to 200 billion parameters and 1 Petaflop of AI computing power on the ThinkStation PGX, perfect for AI development and inference for secure, private, and indoor environments. situ.
- Lenovo AI Developer, a comprehensive set of AI development tools and blueprints designed by experts to empower data scientists and AI developers to build, scale, and secure their AI workflows.
- Lenovo Imaging Services for Devices, preconfigured to simplify development, reduce IT workload, and ensure out-of-the-box readiness across your entire PC fleet.
- The first proof of concept of a 1,000Wh/L silicon anode battery for laptops and workstations in the world, with a capacity of up to 99.9Whr, capable of prolonging the useful life of batteries and increasing their performance without increasing their size.
Production-Ready AI Platforms
Lenovo’s Hybrid AI Advantage solution, powered by NVIDIA, now offers a return on investment in less than six months and up to eight times lower cost per token compared to similar cloud IaaS services1, helping enterprises deploy AI workloads on-premise with greater efficiency and control.
The expanded range includes NVIDIA-certified systems featuring NVIDIA AI Enterprise software, among which are:
- Two Lenovo hybrid AI platforms: one equipped with NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPU for scalable enterprise AI and multi-modal inference, and another based on NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra for model training and tuning, as well as large-scale AI inference use cases.
- Lenovo hybrid platform for AI inference with NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Edition GPU, delivering up to 3x performance for vision AI applications and 4x performance for content generation compared to NVIDIA L4 in single-node deployments.
- Lenovo ThinkAgile HX650a with Nutanix Enterprise AI and Nutanix Kubernetes platform, providing a validated foundation for secure inference and agent workloads.
- Lenovo Hybrid AI Platforms with Cloudian facilitate scalable sovereign data projects, while Veeam Kasten provides native Kubernetes protection to safeguard AI models and services.
All of these solutions are supported by an expanded collaboration with IBM Technology Lifecycle Services to accelerate the adoption of hybrid AI globally.
Lenovo AI Library Expansion
Lenovo is expanding its AI library, Lenovo AI Library, through new physical solutions and AI agents created using Lenovo Hybrid AI Advantage with NVIDIA, to integrate real-time production-grade inference directly into business workflows.
In sports, Lenovo AI-based solutions deliver real-time analytics, operational intelligence, broadcast optimization and immersive fan experiences, helping leagues, venues and media organizations turn real-time data into a competitive advantage. In retail, smart digital and in-store assistants provide personalized interaction and operational efficiency through the Lenovo xIQ Agent platform with NVIDIA.
In the sectors of manufacturing, industry and mobilityLenovo’s physical AI solutions combine robotics, edge computing, and multimodal sensors to automate inspections, improve worker safety, optimize fleet operations, and reduce downtime. The Lenovo Auto AI Box extends these capabilities to vehicle computing platforms, enabling advanced driver assistance, predictive maintenance and real-time fleet intelligence at the edge.
Through the Lenovo AI Innovators ecosystem, in collaboration with NVIDIA and partners such as AiFi, RocketBoots and Vaidio, proven AI solutions are offered for the public sector, smart cities, retail and other vertical sectors.
Next generation of cloud AI through NVIDIA Vera Rubin
Lenovo is helping customers manage data at gigawatt scale with the next-generation NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform, accelerating deployment for hyperscale and sovereign AI cloud providers. As a launch partner of NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72, Lenovo offers rack-scale AI systems with fully liquid cooling, designed for faster deployment and dramatically improved token economics, delivering up to 10x higher performance and up to 10x lower cost per token compared to previous generations.
Lenovo is also introducing NVIDIA HGX Rubin NVL8 systems and collaborating with Nscale to drive hyperscale AI deployments optimized for large-scale inference and emerging agentic workloads. Powered by Lenovo Hybrid AI Factory Services, these platforms combine lifecycle management, global deployment expertise, and operations optimization, enabling AI cloud providers to move from development to revenue generation faster and with lower risk.
