## What Are NVIDIA AI Foundation Models?

NVIDIA AI foundation models are community- and NVIDIA-built models that are optimized to deliver the best performance on NVIDIA-accelerated infrastructure. Enterprises can customize and deploy these models with NVIDIA NIMTM microservices and streamline the transition to production AI.

Explore the [NVIDIA API catalog](http://build.nvidia.com) and experience the multimodal models directly from a browser, connect to NVIDIA-hosted endpoints and start POC for free, or download and run on your compute platform.

## Supercharge Agents With Expert Reasoning

Power your enterprise agents with open [NVIDIA Llama Nemotron with reasoning models](https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-launches-family-of-open-reasoning-ai-models-for-developers-and-enterprises-to-build-agentic-ai-platforms?nvid=nv-int-bnr-616981) that deliver leading accuracy  and efficiency for a wide range of reasoning and non-reasoning agentic tasks.

Available as NVIDIA NIM microservices, the NVIDIA-developed and 3rd party models are optimized for performance and can be rapidly deployed on any NVIDIA-accelerated infrastructure.
