Lenovo unveiled the Lenovo AI Cloud Gigafactory with NVIDIA at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas on Tuesday, announcing a major expansion of their partnership designed to accelerate enterprise AI deployment at unprecedented scale.
During his keynote at Tech World at CES 2026 at Sphere in Las Vegas, Lenovo Chairman and CEO Yuanqing Yang, joined by NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang, introduced the gigawatt-scale AI factory program as a breakthrough for cloud providers seeking to deploy next-generation AI workloads faster.
"In the AI era, value is no longer measured by compute alone, but also by how fast it delivers results," said Yuanqing Yang, Chairman and CEO of Lenovo.
"Together, Lenovo and NVIDIA are pushing the boundaries of AI factories to the gigawatt level, simplifying deployment of cloud-scale infrastructure that moves AI intelligence into production faster, with greater efficiency and predictability."
The program represents a significant shift in how AI infrastructure is deployed, with Lenovo providing integrated solutions that combine NVIDIA's advanced computing platforms with Lenovo's Neptune liquid cooling technology, global manufacturing capabilities, and full lifecycle services.
As enterprise AI workloads grow in size and complexity, AI cloud providers face mounting pressure to build gigawatt-scale facilities capable of supporting trillion-parameter agentic AI, physical AI, and high-performance computing applications.
The Lenovo AI Cloud Gigafactory program directly addresses this challenge by offering pre-engineered solutions that dramatically reduce deployment time.
Time to first token has emerged as a critical performance metric in the industry, measuring how quickly AI compute investments translate into production-ready services.
According to the companies, the new program enables AI cloud providers to achieve production-ready AI in weeks by utilizing pre-assembled components and expert support.
"As AI transforms every industry, companies in every country will build or rent AI factories to produce intelligence," said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA.
"Together, NVIDIA and Lenovo are delivering full-stack computing platforms that power agentic AI systems—from the cloud and on-premises data centers to the edge and robotic systems."
The Lenovo AI Cloud Gigafactory program gives AI cloud providers early access to NVIDIA's Blackwell Ultra high-performance architecture, designed to meet soaring demand for sovereign, secure, and specialized AI deployments.
The program includes customized cluster designs across accelerated computing, storage, and networking options.
Central to the offering is the NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 system from Lenovo, featuring a fully liquid-cooled, rack-scale architecture that integrates 72 NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs and 36 NVIDIA Grace CPUs into a single platform.
The program will also support the newly announced NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 flagship system for AI training and inference, which unifies 72 Rubin GPUs, 36 Vera CPUs, ConnectX-9 SuperNICs, BlueField-4 DPUs, and Spectrum-X Ethernet in a rack-scale AI supercomputer.
Advanced networking capabilities include NVIDIA Spectrum-6 Ethernet switches and NVIDIA Photonics Ethernet switches, designed to support the ultra-low-latency requirements of next-generation gigawatt AI factories.
Lenovo's role extends beyond hardware provision to encompass comprehensive manufacturing and lifecycle services.
The company powers eight of the world's top ten public cloud providers and is the only firm offering fully in-house design, manufacturing, integration, and global services for custom AI cloud solutions.
With Lenovo's Neptune liquid cooling technology and global manufacturing reach, the program sets what the companies describe as a new benchmark for scalable AI factory design.
Lenovo Hybrid AI Factory Services deliver full-lifecycle capabilities aimed at reducing factory setup time while supporting long-term operational efficiency.
The partnership builds on decades of development collaboration between the two companies.
Beyond hardware, the program integrates AI-native platforms and Lenovo AI Library use cases with NVIDIA AI Enterprise, including open Nemotron models, to simplify the delivery of specialized AI workloads at scale.
