The AI Factory operating model is how we help enterprises convert NVIDIA's accelerated infrastructure into running production systems. It rests on four capabilities: agentic AI systems that execute end-to-end workflows; performance engineering that keeps unit economics defensible; GPU fleet management with topology-aware scheduling and granular observability; and AI-Ready data with the semantic layers and knowledge graphs that give your agents high-fidelity context. Together they replace fragmented orchestration, manual risk reviews and bespoke integration with a platform-enabled team and standardized pipelines.
Enterprises are committing millions to their AI initiatives, yet seven in ten investments stall within six months. The bottleneck is no longer compute, it's the operating model around it.
Thoughtworks and NVIDIA help you cross the lab-to-production gap. We bring the industrial engineering that turns GPU capacity into measurable business outcomes: faster production readiness, predictable unit economics and governance built in from day one.
Together, we operationalize accelerated compute for enterprises that can't afford another stalled pilot. Start with a fixed-scope readiness workshop and leave with a costed roadmap, not a maybe.

Explore our AI Factory
- Agentic AI systems: End-to-end workflows executed by AI agents, not single-shot prompts. Built to be governed at scale, powering agentic payment orchestration.
- Performance engineering: Keeps unit economics defensible as workloads grow, with cost-per-token falling, not climbing, ensuring real-time fraud scoring stays within low-latency budgets.
- GPU fleet management: Topology-aware scheduling and granular observability across the cluster, not a black box, making graph neural networks fast enough to run in live production.
- AI-ready data: Semantic layers and knowledge graphs that give your agents high-fidelity enterprise context, enabling transaction foundation models and fraud knowledge graphs.
Turning AI infrastructure into business value
Faster time-to-production
Move from lab to live in weeks, not quarters. Replace bespoke, manual integration with standardized pipelines that have security and data compliance built in from day one.
30–50% faster production readiness
Predictable unit economics
Shift from unbounded cloud spend to a clear cost-per-inference. Workload orchestration optimized to align your token budget with your business goals.
20–40% improvement in GPU utilization
Enterprise-grade governance
Replace months-long manual risk reviews with policy-as-code that becomes a release accelerator, not a release blocker. Scale dozens of AI agents across teams without a linear increase in headcount.
Reduced operational and compliance risk
Turn GPU capacity into running workloads
A rack on the floor isn't an AI Factory. Workloads running in production are.
Our five GPU Activation Services take you from one to the other — Cluster Setup and Activation get the cluster live in weeks, not quarters. Managed Cluster Ops keeps it live with SLA-backed uptime. Managed Inference and Performance Engineering keep cost-per-token falling as your workloads grow.
Pick the services you need today and layer in more as your program matures.

Putting NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Super VL to the test
What does it take to assess an open-weight model for an enterprise workload? Thoughtworks AI Labs tested NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Super VL through chart-reading adaptation, legal and healthcare domain adaptation, and 4-bit weight-only quantization. The reports share the methods, results, and limitations so teams can make model decisions based on evidence—not assumptions.
Thoughtworks engineers get early access to NVIDIA technologies and open-weight models, giving us the opportunity to work hands-on with new releases, test how they behave on enterprise-relevant tasks, and share practical findings. Our Nemotron 3.5 Super VL research shows what that looks like: a set of controlled experiments on task-specific adaptation, evaluation, and model fit—before customers make workload decisions.
We trained an adapter on generated charts for a multi-step chart-reading task. On 224 questions from a public chart benchmark, accuracy increased from 16.96% to 78.13% after 3.3 hours of training. A narrow task-specific result—not a general model-quality claim.
We compared held-out evaluation, public benchmarks, and AI-judge comparisons across simulated legal and healthcare tasks. The report explains why teams should hold out their own evaluation data—and why some apparent wins should not be treated as proof.
Three 4-bit weight-only builds reduced model weights from 231.8 GiB to 68.1 GiB. The report compares generic and legal calibration text; it does not claim measured serving-cost, throughput, latency, or task-accuracy improvements.
These controlled experiments used a pre-release checkpoint and simulated customer scenarios; no customer data was used. Results have not been remeasured on the GA checkpoints. See each report for its measurement method and limitations.

Frequently asked questions
Navigating the world of NVIDIA can be complex, but we’re here to help. Here are some common questions asked about our partnership.
-
-
We pair NVIDIA AI Enterprise (NVAIE) with the operating layer your AI program actually needs — standardized pipelines, automated governance, optimized inference economics and platforms that scale across teams. In practice that means we get the cluster live, keep it live, and continuously optimize the cost per token while your internal teams focus on the business problem.
-
As an NVIDIA partner, we help eligible customers access partner programs and route to suitable NVIDIA funding opportunities. The right path depends on workload, industry and stage of maturity — we shape it during the readiness workshop.
-
Most integrators stop at infrastructure stand-up. We operate at the seams between site readiness, cluster bring-up, steady-state operations and inference economics — and we run those seams as a single integrated practice rather than handing them between teams. The result is fewer weeks of idle GPU capacity and a cost per inference that keeps falling as workloads grow.
-
Start with a fixed-scope, outcome-based workshop. You leave with a costed activation roadmap that names the workloads, the timeline and the SLA — not a generic strategy deck. From there you can engage any of our GPU Activation Services individually or layer them into a single managed engagement.

The AI Factory operating model is the full program — turning NVIDIA capacity into business outcomes. GPU Activation Services are the five engineering services that execute it: Cluster Setup, Activation, Managed Cluster Ops, Managed Inference and Performance Engineering. Most customers start with the workshop, then pick the services that match where they are. Explore GPU Activation Services

Fraud is where the AI Factory model proves itself, because it demands everything production AI is usually missing: real-time decisions, regulatory-grade explainability, and enterprise data context — all at once. We apply the same four capabilities to it. AI-ready data foundations turn fragmented transaction history into the knowledge graphs and transaction foundation models that let a system reason about behaviour across fraud, credit risk and authorization from a single reusable representation, rather than a siloed model per use case. Performance engineering keeps fraud scoring inside the sub-second budget a live payment allows, with defensible cost-per-inference as volumes grow. Agentic AI systems orchestrate the downstream response, holds, step-up authentication, case creation, under governance rather than as single-shot prompts. And GPU fleet management, on NVIDIA accelerated infrastructure with RAPIDS and cuGraph, makes graph-based approaches like graph neural networks fast enough to run in production instead of the lab. The result is relational intelligence that catches the coordinated fraud, money-mule rings, synthetic identities, circular fund flows, that transaction-level models miss, with the explainability audit and regulators require. It's the clearest example of what we mean by moving AI from pilot to production, and the same foundation extends to credit decisioning, reconciliation and agentic payment orchestration.
