NVIDIA and partners expand physical and agentic AI services for cities worldwide

NVIDIA and its partners are expanding physical AI and AI agents for city services and infrastructure, according to an NVIDIA newsroom post that builds on initiatives announced at GTC Berlin.

The post cites resident-service agents in Spain, vision agents in Malaysia that the partners plan to support across 17,000+ cameras by 2027, and ITMAX's TeraSim traffic simulation, which NVIDIA says cuts peak-hour corridor travel times by up to 26%. NVIDIA also says Taiwan's Linker Vision and MVRDV used Omniverse digital twins to cut urban-planning iteration time from two weeks to under an hour.

NVIDIA says city teams can start with NVIDIA RTX workstations or a small GPU system, depending on the workload, rather than a large infrastructure investment. A separate NVIDIA AI post says partners are building applications with Nemotron, Cosmos and Omniverse, including AI agents that answer residents' questions and digital twins that simulate 15 years of urban forest growth in 10 minutes, with computing resources shared across departments and municipalities.
