Nous, H, Prime Intellect join Nemotron Coalition

NVIDIA is strategically building a massive moat for its hardware and ecosystem by funding and organizing an "open weights" coalition to compete directly with proprietary models.

• –**Strategic Compute Distribution**: By offering access to its DGX Cloud, NVIDIA cements its position as the ultimate platform for both open and closed-source AI development.
• –**Moat against Proprietary Monopolies**: The coalition provides a counterweight to closed ecosystems by offering open, highly capable alternative base models that developers can customize.
• –**Synergistic Member Contributions**: Nous Research, H Company (agentic AI), and Prime Intellect (reinforcement learning/infrastructure) provide the critical model-tuning and agentic capabilities that raw base models require to be useful.
