We are thrilled to announce our support for NVIDIA AI Factory for Government, a full-stack, end-to-end reference design that provides guidance for deploying and managing multiple AI workloads on-premises and in the hybrid cloud while meeting the compliance needs of high-assurance organizations.
As government agencies and enterprises increasingly look to deploy AI for mission-critical use, the challenges of security, compliance, and scalability have never been more apparent.
This initiative by NVIDIA provides a structured, high-performance path for deploying AI factories on-premises or in hybrid cloud environments. Fiddler is proud to be a validated partner in this ecosystem, providing the critical AI Observability and Security platform required to deploy trustworthy and transparent AI solutions.
The Challenge: AI in High-Assurance Environments
Government organizations are poised to unlock massive productivity gains with AI, from enhancing public service delivery to improving security. However, the unique challenges, such as stringent data privacy regulations, lengthy compliance processes, and the critical need to prevent security risks, can slow or halt AI adoption.
A typical AI stack, often built from many evolving components, creates a complex attack surface. For high-assurance organizations, this is not a tolerable risk. They require a solution that is secure by design and provides robust safeguards for all AI-driven operations.
NVIDIA AI Factory for Government: A Reference Design
The NVIDIA AI Factory for Government is a comprehensive solution designed to meet these exact needs. It is built on the powerful NVIDIA Blackwell platform and includes NVIDIA AI Enterprise software, NVIDIA Nemotron open models, as well as third-party software from AI leaders.
This reference design provides a structured approach for organizations to build and manage diverse AI workloads, including agentic AI, physical AI, and high-performance computing (HPC), with the assurance and control required for mission-critical use. A key component of this is the inclusion of government-ready NVIDIA AI Enterprise software, enabling deployment in the most sensitive unclassified data environments.
Fiddler’s Role: The Trust and Security Platform
As a part of the NVIDIA AI Factory for Government, Fiddler provides the essential AI Observability and Security platform that integrates directly into this new ecosystem. Our commitment is to embed observability, transparency, and security into the AI stack, enabling enterprises to move from experimentation to production with confidence.
Fiddler supports the NVIDIA AI Factory for Government in several ways:
- Seamless Integration: Fiddler Guardrails offer an out-of-the-box integration with NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails and support for NVIDIA NIM microservices. This allows organizations to leverage Fiddler's guardrails within their secure environment.
- High-Speed Protection: Fiddler's protection is powered by the Fiddler Trust Service, an enterprise-grade solution built on our proprietary, fine-tuned Fiddler Trust Models. These models are designed for high-accuracy, low-latency (<100ms) scoring of LLM prompts and responses, allowing for real-time guardrails moderation of risks like hallucinations, toxicity, PII/PHI detection, and jailbreak attempts.
- Native, not Additive: Fiddler's approach provides a critical advantage in secure environments. Because our Fiddler Trust Models run natively within your system, there is no need for insecure external API calls to third-party services for "LLM-as-a-judge" evaluations. This self-contained architecture eliminates the hidden fees and security risks associated with other platforms, ensuring all data stays within your perimeter and costs remain predictable.
- Built for Secure Environments: A critical requirement for government and high-assurance use cases is data control. Fiddler Guardrails are designed to be securely deployed in on-premises, cloud, or VPC environments, aligning perfectly with the AI Factory's hybrid-cloud and on-prem model.
- Deep AI Observability: Fiddler provides a holistic view of security and performance, capturing all NeMo Guardrails activity into custom dashboards. This enables deep contextual monitoring and, when issues arise, rapid Root Cause Analysis and 3D UMAP visualizations to diagnose and resolve problems.
- Hardware-Accelerated Performance: Fiddler’s entire security platform is optimized for the NVIDIA ecosystem. The Fiddler Trust Models at the core of our solution are built to benefit from the performance and efficiency of NVIDIA accelerated computing, including the latest NVIDIA Blackwell architecture. This integration ensures our high-accuracy monitoring scales with NVIDIA's high-performance hardware.
Accelerating Time-to-Value, Mitigating Risk
By combining the performance of the NVIDIA Blackwell platform and the secure orchestration of NVIDIA NeMo and NIM microservices with Fiddler's comprehensive AI Observability and Security, organizations no longer have to choose between innovation and compliance.
This collaboration provides a direct, validated path for high-assurance organizations to deploy powerful AI solutions faster and with greater confidence. Fiddler remains committed to our collaboration with NVIDIA, helping ensure that every stage of the AI lifecycle is embedded with the trust, transparency, and security required for success, both in commercial and government applications.
