ServiceNow and Nvidia's new reasoning AI model raises the bar for enterprise AI agents

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Many have dubbed this year "the year of AI agents," as these AI systems that can carry out tasks for users are especially useful for optimizing enterprise workflows. At ServiceNow's annual Knowledge 2025 conference, the company unveiled a new model in partnership with Nvidia to advance AI agents. Apriel Nemotron 15B On Tuesday, ServiceNow and Nvidia launched Apriel Nemotron 15B, a new, open-source reasoning language model (LLM) built to deliver lower latency, lower inference costs, and agentic AI. According to the release, the model was trained on Nvidia Nemo, the Nvidia Llama Nemotron Post-Training Dataset, and ServiceNow's domain-specific data. Also: Nvidia's 70+ projects at ICLR show how raw chip power is central to AI's acceleration The biggest takeaway of the model is that it packages advanced reasoning capabilities in a smaller size. This makes the model cheaper and faster to run on Nvidia GPU infrastructure as an Nvidia NIM microservice while st ... Read full article.
