- Jensen Huang's Declaration of "The Era of AI Inference and AI Agents" Triggers a Surge in Corporate Inquiries About Inference Acceleration
- Showcasing Technology for the Second Consecutive Year... Chatbot and AI Agent Companies Express Immediate Interest in Adoption
Generative AI acceleration platform company FriendlyAI announced on the 26th that it successfully participated in the 'NVIDIA GTC 2025' held in San Jose, USA, from March 17 to 21. Especially, when Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, declared in his keynote speech that "the era of AI inference and AI agents has begun," FriendlyAI, which has core strengths in related technologies, received significant attention on site.
Participating in GTC for the second consecutive year following last year, FriendlyAI showcased a platform that maximizes the inference performance of generative AI services, attracting great interest from many corporate executives and development leaders. During the GTC period, over 300 companies visited the FriendlyAI booth, and inquiries about official adoption followed continuously.
Corporate representatives showed deep interest in FriendlyAI’s industry-leading inference acceleration performance, which has been verified, as well as the usability and reliability through its official partnership with Hugging Face, the world's largest AI model sharing platform. FriendlyAI is the world's number one provider of GPU APIs in inference speed (Artificial Analysis benchmark) and is the only startup globally selected as an official model deployment partner of Hugging Face.
On the 18th, Jensen Huang devoted 30 minutes of his keynote speech to the "importance of ultra-large-scale AI inference technology and the spread of AI agent adoption," which drew corporate visitors to the FriendlyAI booth, a provider of related platform technologies. FriendlyAI offers world-class inference acceleration and plans to launch AI agent services as well.
From a corporate perspective, adopting FriendlyAI technology results in faster AI service and inference speeds, stable operation, cost reduction, and increased operational efficiency. Since the Hugging Face partnership, FriendlyAI has established itself as a trusted platform used by companies, and as interest in AI optimization grows, global AI companies showed great interest in FriendlyAI at GTC.
Companies providing services such as AI chatbots, Voice AI Agents, and AI call centers (AICC) to tens of millions of users worldwide particularly inquired about the actual adoption process with FriendlyAI. Companies concerned about AI customer response speed, real-time conversation quality, and infrastructure cost reduction focused on FriendlyAI, which offers solutions to these challenges. For these companies, minimizing response time and providing consistent performance for excellent usability is crucial, and FriendlyAI boasts unparalleled technological capabilities in this field.
A FriendlyAI representative said, "One company CTO said, ‘This was exactly the solution I was looking for,’ and immediately expressed intent to adopt it," adding, "We reaffirmed that companies creating AI services without exception face difficulties in acceleration and optimization, and we could feel firsthand at the global venue that this market is explosively growing day by day."
Global enterprise companies also listened closely to the fact that FriendlyAI is trusted through global partnerships and can be easily adopted even by large-scale companies. Recently, FriendlyAI was integrated as an add-on in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) environment and is the only startup worldwide officially partnered with Hugging Face for model deployment. Currently, more than 130,000 models on Hugging Face can be deployed and used directly through FriendlyAI.
Jeon Byung-gon, CEO of FriendlyAI, said, "The weight of the AI market is shifting to AI inference, and as the AI ecosystem grows, the market for platform technologies supporting AI services is also expanding at an enormous speed, which we were able to confirm again at GTC," adding, "Based on what we directly observed at the global venue, we will do our best to support companies to make greater leaps with AI."
