Zoom Communications announced that it is working with NVIDIA to expand its federated AI architecture with NVIDIA Nemotron open technologies to support AI Companion 3.0 across industries including finance, healthcare and government, in an announcement.

The video conferencing platform said its framework will use a hybrid language model approach that routes tasks between proprietary Small Language Models optimized for low-latency skills and a fine-tuned Large Language Model (LLM) for complex reasoning.

The company introduced a 49-billion-parameter LLM, based on NVIDIA Nemotron and developed with NVIDIA NeMo tools.

“With the help of NVIDIA Nemotron open technologies, we’re accelerating the development of our enterprise RAG capabilities, allowing AI Companion to work seamlessly with Microsoft 365, Microsoft Teams, Google Workspace, Slack, Salesforce and ServiceNow,” said X.D. Huang, Zoom’s chief technology officer.

Zoom said it plans to use NVIDIA Nemotron reasoning models to enhance decision-making and manage multistep tasks across meetings, chat, documents and other functions.
