At NVIDIA GTC, Lenovo unveiled new Lenovo Hybrid AI Advantage with NVIDIA solutions designed to accelerate AI adoption, reduce time-to-first-token (TTFT), and deliver measurable business results across personal, enterprise, and cloud environments. Building on the inferencing acceleration introduced at Lenovo Tech World, this next phase of Hybrid AI execution expands the Lenovo Hybrid AI Advantage with NVIDIA from device to data centre to gigawatt-scale AI cloud deployments, enabling real-time decision-making, operational efficiency, and intelligent automation across industries at global scale.
As AI moves from training models to powering real-time decisions, inferencing has become the new frontier of enterprise value—and organisations need infrastructure that delivers both securely spanning edge, data centre, and cloud. According to the CIO Playbook 2026 commissioned by Lenovo and conducted by IDC, 84% of organisations expect to run AI across on-premises or edge environments alongside the cloud—accelerating demand for validated hybrid AI platforms built for production-scale inferencing. This trend is mirrored in the Middle East, where 62% of organisations favour hybrid AI deployments and are increasingly prioritising local inferencing to support data control and real-time decision-making.
“Together, Lenovo and NVIDIA are uniquely positioned to help organisations operationalise AI—from experimentation to enterprise production to AI cloud gigafactories,” said Yuanqing Yang, Chairman and CEO, Lenovo. “As agentic AI drives exponential growth in inferencing workloads, cost control and performance per token become mission-critical. By combining NVIDIA AI Enterprise software with Lenovo’s 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 bringing AI from development environments into real-world production at a global scale with the new Lenovo AI inferencing platforms with NVIDIA Dynamo and NVIDIA NIM, the Lenovo AI Cloud gigafactory powered by NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72, and industry-specific agentic AI solutions built with NVIDIA Blueprints and software.
“AI has entered the production era. Intelligence is now generated in real time—and enterprises need systems built for that scale,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “As AI agents begin to reason, plan, and act, the next AI inflection point will dramatically scale demand for accelerated computing, software and AI factories—and together, Lenovo and NVIDIA are delivering the full-stack platforms to power the future.”

Production-ready AI platforms for real-time enterprise inferencing
Lenovo’s Hybrid AI Advantage with NVIDIA solutions are now delivering ROI in less than six months and up to 8× lower cost per token compared to comparable cloud IaaS1—helping enterprises bring AI workloads on-premises with greater efficiency and control.
New inferencing-optimised Lenovo ThinkSystem and ThinkEdge servers, combined with enhanced Hybrid AI platforms and integrated partner solutions, enable real-time AI Inferencing across retail, manufacturing, healthcare, sports, and smart city environments. Customers including Iren and the Town of Cary are leveraging Lenovo infrastructure to modernise operations and scale data-driven services.
The expanded portfolio features NVIDIA-Certified Systems integrated with NVIDIA AI Enterprise software, including:
- Two Lenovo Hybrid AI platforms: one featuring NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs for scale-out enterprise AI and multi-modal inferencing, and another powered by NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra for model training, fine-tuning, and large-scale AI inference use cases.
- Lenovo Hybrid AI inferencing starter platform with NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs, delivering up to 3X performance gains for vision AI applications and 4X better performance for content generation compared to NVIDIA L4 for single-node deployments.
- Lenovo ThinkAgile HX650a with Nutanix Enterprise AI and Nutanix Kubernetes Platform, providing a validated foundation for protected inferencing and agentic workloads.
- Lenovo Hybrid AI platforms with Cloudian deliver scalable, sovereign data pipelines, while Veeam Kasten provides Kubernetes-native protection to safeguard AI models and services.
These solutions are backed by an expanded global collaboration with IBM Technology Lifecycle Services to accelerate hybrid AI adoption worldwide.
Expanding the Lenovo AI Library: Industry-ready AI at scale
Lenovo is expanding the Lenovo AI Library with new agentic and physical AI solutions built on the Lenovo Hybrid AI Advantage with NVIDIA – bringing real-time, production-grade inferencing directly into enterprise workflows.
